This is what should be seen as a HERO in the United States of America. Not some celebrity, who got counseling for drug addiction. Not some minority, who graduated high school. Not some politician, who is all “woke” to maintain their status. Not some “journalist”, who lies and creates stories in order to promote a flawed point of view.

I love our SEAL’s. They are what’s left of this current PC Navy. Our favorite TV series is Seal Team. The producers go to great lengths to get it right. And yes, it has interaction and love interests for the Ladies. My Wife thinks it’s the best thing since Dallas...haha.

Runs out of ammo so he beats the last guy to death all with a severed thumb. Amazing- that’s Audie Murphy level stuff.

Posting tip-

Preview your work and expect hot links NOT to work if they are mixed in with HTML code that you have placed into your post/reply, so after posting, put the hotlink into a down-thread post. If you are quick enough, you can put it in the one occurring next, under your original post.

PS you have a bad link. >>> We Are The Mighty <<<

I’ve been on a MACV-SOG binge on YouTube

Not that I’m an expert but those guys in my opinion are the baddest assed kids who ever walked through the valley of the shadow of death and feared no evil

Over and over and over and over for months and months...3-4 missions a week ....

Them and the King Bees

And with far less tech and precision

Just pure balls

Some of the rescue missions were basically if I can wrangle a King Bee indig pilot to get me there I’ll rappel alone into canopy at night into multiple firefight with CAR to help my downed buddie

After two King Bees are already down.....NVA battalion strength or more port arms headed down the hill towards your position

I get sweaty palmed just reading like watching Alex Honold climb

All these men are badass

Trenches

Bastogne or Okinawa

Chosin

A Shau

Fallujah and northeast Afghanistan

Take your pic

But the Vietnam era MACVSOG guys were just .....cowboys....in a good way...
I don’t think they techniques would fly today

Wonder how sneaky Pete is...was he MACVSOG or Company SAD?

I know SEALS in Indochina were lean and mean.....and effective
