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.

Did Waugh say Carlos the Jackal was being held 20 miles from where they are now? Waugh lived in Lutz?

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

RIP Mr. Waugh - the sort of man that when he speaks you shut the hell up and listen.
