> It was not until 20 or so years after the VN war that books by VN-era SEALs about their experiences came out.
And if someone were to check, many of those missions are probably still classified and divulging them or the tactics used ought to get the blabbermouth a fast trip to Fort Levenworth.
The MAC/SOG stuff didn’t come out for probably 30 years after. That’s long enough.The tactics discussed in the SEAL books about ops inside of VN itself were old news by the time they were written about.
