Imagine Charlie living right under you all that time in country. 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. Seeker 2 |

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. |

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. |

User ID: 80734470 United States 08/14/2021 12:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People thump their chests and say they were this or that but MAC SOG operators were as hardcore as they get. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79453023 Until recently all of their experiences were classified. Incredible. Brave! 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. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |
