@@alexanderednie1205I’m sure in Billy’s case they would make an exception. His story is incredible, and he almost died more than once, multiple purple hearts and that’s only for the ones on record, caught Carlos the jackal, could have killed bin laden, President Clinton said no, on the ground in Afghanistan before the horse soldiers at age 70.

I had the opportunity to meet up with Billy a few times. One of the last times I met up with him, my unit was doing free-fall training in Florida. At the time Billy had to be in his late 70s if not 80s (2015ish circa) and he did a couple of jumps with us. He just always loved to be with the boys telling war stories and motivating us. Legend. RIP warrior!

I had the honor of knowing and I hope being a friend of this great legend. He had a deep love of country and Special Forces and would give a talk to each Special Forces Class near the end of their training on the history of Special Forces as well as its birth with the WWII Jedburgh Teams. Billy was a great instructor and I was always amazed by how he captured the attention of those young Special Forces warriors. Later when they could no longer pay his travel and expenses, Billy told me he did it for free. He just loved talking to the young soldiers. He was truly a legend, walked to his own drum beat and cared little for what others thought of him. He will truly be missed.

I was lucky enough to meet CSM (ret) Waugh at Ft Bragg when he came to visit just before I retired in 2009. I had read his book previously, and was able to have it autographed by CSM Waugh. Several friends of mine in 3/5 worked directly with CSM Waugh during Jawbreaker. The country and esp. US SOF owe an unpayable debt of gratitude for his service.

Billy needed some quality, pointed questions and what did you do? “So you were in wwii? So you went to Korea? …so then to Vietnam” argh! I’m dying here wishing someone was picking his brain.

Possibly the worst interviewer ever to give this guy his last interview. This is why we needed some Podcaster a professional to step up and do this interview while Billy was still alive. He was more than capable of a 3 hour sit down and going over his entire career. But this rushed 30 minute nonsense serves nobody and isn't even enough to sniff the surface of 1% of what he did especially when the interviewer came unprepared.

His stories of Vietnam brings back memories of mine being there. The vines he was talking about were called "wait a minute vines", they would get ahold of you and stop you in your place. They tore my clothes like a hot knife into butter. The mirrors and other things are very truthful by him. SOG was known of by some of us but I was not good enough to be offered a position with them. They have my utmost respect and appreciation for all they did for us and our country. I have an enormous respect for all of the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. I remember my service friends who never made it home to be with their families.

Undoubtedly one of the baddest MF'ers who has ever walked the face of the earth. His life and career couldn't be turned into a film, because no one would believe it -- it's simply absurd. That this man remained operational for as long as he did is mindboggling and defies all logic and commonsense. RIP warrior, and godspeed.

This guy is special ops royalty. It’s a shame there isn’t more known about all of his exploits. I would kill to see him sit down with Jocko or some other SF guy and just pick his brain to the detail. One fairly obvious observation I have is that this man in clearly a risk-taker, and was probably born that way. It’s amazing he is alive. I wonder if he has any professional regrets. What an amazing human.

Thank you so very much for posting and doing this interview! This man and his fellow warriors had to have O.D. green wheel barrows issued to them to carry their humongous balls!!! Humbling is not an apt description. I thank God for men like these. They are the support structure that keeps this country free. Thank you Mr. Waugh. Till Valhalla sir

Waugh made the first combat HALO jump during vietnam and jumped into Afghanistan right after 9/11 at the age of 71. He was such a legend that into retirement when 9/11 happened he reaches out to people still in service wanting to help and at 71 years old he was one of the handful of green berets and spooks that jumped into Afghanistan and hooked up with Northern Alliance and led the air campaign prior to troops hitting the ground.

I saw the comments of people saying the interviewer missed a great opportunity and tried to watch this with an open mind but seeing as how this is probably the most extensive interview of Billy Waugh on KZbin I would have to agree that the interviewer was outside his element and missed a great opportunity. Sad because this opportunity is now lost.

RIP Billy, Great American! In 2009/10 I was fortunate to teach a man hunting course in Florida with him and a few other colorful seasoned operators. He gave me his book with a nice signed message inside of it after the first course concluded. The title was “Hunting the Jackal” aka Bin Laden. Billy Waugh was the real deal! DOL

I love the setting, the interview, and especially, The Answers and The Stories. I'm 56. I never was in the military. Many of my wife's and I family have served. I have The Utmost Respect. My wife, then girlfriend, would be so sweet with comments and such. They would be looking at me let's just say. A little differently
