People thump their chests and say they were this or that but MAC SOG operators were as hardcore as they get.

Until recently all of their experiences were classified. Incredible. Brave!

My Dad knew an Operator who would get dropped behind enemy lines for 3 weeks at a time with a sniper rifle.....Kill as many as possible....don't get caught...Pick you up at "X" 30-50 miles away in 3 weeks...

He got wounded one time during exfil and woke up already in a body bag on the helo when they landed....

THEY WERE BAD MFers!!

Dumbass there is no money in winning a war. America has not had a reason to win a war since WW2. Conflicts are about resource extraction, bases, and regional/ trade lane control.

Nam ended exactly as planned maximum profits. Having to rebuild a country when you already got everything you wanted makes no sense. Much less killing civilians in numbers that might bring harsh words.

There is a reason we don’t have water cannons here. It involves a god given right recognized here. We don’t need a revolt or riot, just to know there is no other options.

My brother did three tours in Nam as an advisor to the ARVN and they worshipped him like a god and gave him medals galore because he knew what he was doing and was a badass. The VC/NVA avoided his outfits like the plague--if they could. My brother was relatively fearless, but he was afraid of the HALO jumping hell raising, independent operators and professional assassins of the SOG groups. They were given improbable and impossible missions deep in Injun country, and were on their own often for weeks at a time. Not for the unfit or the faint of heart. The stories were unbelievable, if you could get one to talk. Go anywhere-do anything-come back and get ready for the next one.

I can't even imagine the mental fortitude. Men of an extremely rare caliber.

I did some digging and watched some YouTube on them. Most units took 90 to 100% casualties. There were only a couple hundred of these guys at any given timein SOG.

They didn't look like Schwarzenegger either. They were lean and fit.

The Shriver story is incredible.

I'm impressed OP. Thanks for the introduction.

True.
Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Used by the Founders...
Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day...
America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments...
1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year.
2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates.

Democrats are a WMD, literally.

I have read the S.O.G book 3 or 4 times now. The shit they did made Rambo look like a pussy! I have put that book down just shaking my head at what those guys did and lived through! One story about accidently getting dropped off in the middle of a NVA overnight camp by accident was crazy !
