sogcast is the best thing on youtube

[@falcon5215]

Absolutely intrigued bt the Sogcasts. Everytime I think I'm having a bad day, I think of you guys. Thank you Mr. Meyer

[@legionarulsquad6676]

Same here.

[@thatguybrooke]

Yeah! It really puts things into perspective...oh ya had a hard day at work huh? Did you get shot at all day n' night???...probably not. So please Count your blessings y'all and be grateful for a much easier time than these true mf gangsters had to deal with on a day-to-day basis! 👏 *Thank a veteran*

[@187Burks]

[@Valorius]

I'm Cold War era Infantry, I grew up reading about you guys in MAC-V SOG, and in the Air Cav, and the light infantry. It's amazing to get to hear you guys tell your story first hand all these years later. Thanks for your service.

[@useruser400]

The SOG story needs to be a Netflix series!

[@Truecrimecommunity]

Man both of these guys look amazing for their age. Mid 70’s? Who would know?

[@rongaddy872]

Tilt. Love that sarcastic laugh. you are one bad ass SOB

[@williamwright7485]

Fascinating interview. I am grateful beyond words for both of you, your service to our free nation, and to all that makes our nation great.

@Greg Smith woooooooh there buddy pump the breaks on that I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were trying to say" pure worth-while Americans" and auto correct acted up.... am I right or are you just an asshole who can't observe the human race for what it is, both flawed and beautiful through every race, color ,creed ,ethnicity, orentation and religion, the problem is people not the color of people.... especially narrow minded people like you.... unless you wanna take the easy way out I gave you... or do you stand behind what you said... honestly let's talk about it if that's really what you ment... make your case

[@wooski9022]

Jocko & John Stryker Meyer need to run for Congress. Can you imagine our capabilities as a country with men like that running the show instead of Neurological Nancy and the other career muppets? We need people who are not able to be corrupted.

These guys are just amazing, most badass dudes to ever walk the planet yet they are just so humble. Truly amazing guys without a doubt

[@The_Brew_Dog]

I hope the people that interact with these gentlemen on a regular basis don’t take for granted the extremely cool opportunity they have. If these guys were my neighbor I would gladly fetch them beers while I mowed their lawn in the hopes they might share the occasional war story.

[@irwinmarant6014]

I also had experienced an encounter with one of those centipedes while in Vietnam. Fortunately a guy had this one in a screen cage. Very venomous and huge. This one was at least a foot long. Just one of many weird things I had the opportunity to see while on my tour over there.

[@Thebonesoftrees]

This is what incredible content. It’s a privilege to listen to men like you guy’s share their stories. Condoned eavesdropping if you will. Thanks.

[@georgemacdonell2341]

Thanks Tilt, this man has a fascinating life story, and tells it well. John Peters, you are truly a warrior poet. Thank you Sir.

He said he didn't know how they won but it was over when the sun come up. The enemy retreated as they knew air cover and reinforcements would be there at first light. Love these podcasts. Respect. Love these blokes recollections and accounts. Quite humbling. Circumstances made them true heros. Listening to this stuff makes my trivial day to day wows not seem too bad. Again Thanks.

[@sandraa.lelacheur3001]

I really learned a great deal from this podcast. The way you explained what you went through, it made us feel like we were there. It was told so well, made it easy to understand. Absolutely incredible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tilt and those men from SOG at it again. Nothing you can do about it, so you may as well sit back and enjoy!! Can't wait for the next one gentlemen. Thank you for your service!

[@creaturesofqueens]

These stories are legendary! I first found John Plaster’s book when I was in high school or college. Greatly influenced my decision to join the Army. Can’t get enough of them! I can 1000% verify that the jungles of Vietnam have centipedes larger than anything any American will find exploring our national parks. Actually found the centipede I’m referring to at the Cu Chi Tunnels site.

[@Burrmao196]

Amazing

[@carlpresley9097]

I remember hearing about that raid. I got there in 69. Then went to northern U corps in August of 69. They tore up CCN. IN 71 IN MY SECOND tour they pulled the thing at cam rahn Bay when I was there on TDY. THEY WERE GOOD

[@TheMattC9999]

We have giant red-headed centipedes in Missouri and there was a guy camping here that had one walk across his chest while he was asleep. Apparently their legs/feet do carry a small amount of venom, and because of the proximity to his heart it actually did kill him just by walking on him. Terrifying creatures those centipedes are....

[@Uhlankadett]

So Pfc. John Peters never graduated from the Q course but still made it into SOG as a Walk-On? Incredible!

[@filibandicoot1580]

YESSS! Alright a new one, i fuckin love these stories and people. They dont get enough credit for what they have done for our country. Ive been shot twice as a civilian so i can relate more that the avarage person i think, but i still cant even imagine being in those kind of senerios. shit blows my fuckin mind!!!

[@timwendling5766]

Love SOGcasts! Would you please consider interviewing Command Satgeant Major John Henry Brown - Army Intellegence Vietnam? He resides in Franklin, Ohio and conducted an Interview through The Cincinnati Public Library. It would be interesting, insiteful, and comprehensive to gain the perspective of boots on the ground; like with yourself and as well as the perspect of Top Intellegence Personell in a single interview regarding Secret Missions in Vietnam.
