I don't know how they did it. I went through 14 days of SERE school, and that was all I wanted. I'm almost positive I wouldn't be able to stand years and years of that, and come out anywhere near normal. Kudos to them for being as strong as they are.

Something most Americans are unaware of is the operation of our MACV SOG "hatchet teams". Because it was US policy to not infiltrate Laos or Cambodia, these men were never given any recognition. They were constantly searching for POW's across those borders before the POWs could be moved to prisons in North Vietnam. Hairy operations when a small hatchet team of 10-12 men is poking around camps holding 200,000 or so enemy soldiers in the fish hook area of Cambodia.

Men of men stuff. Lots of deniable operations going on everyday still. Being at the tip of the spear requires hard men.

YUP! The average citizen will never know how many "silent patriots" are operating in countless third world shithole countries even today as we speak....God bless them.
