    When i was in high school (2000-2004) i had befriended a Green Beret. He was in Desert Storm. Sadly he was damaged, mentally and physically. He told me a story of when he came around a building corner to see a young teenager with an AK pointed at him. The rest was history.. he said that happened to him on more than one occasion, youngest kid being about 10. Between that and his blown knees and hips, he was still one hell of an individual. God bless all who serve.

    Donned my Beret in 1968. 10th SFG and then 5th SFG. MACV-SOG, CCC. One Zero team leader. Still keeping up my skills at 76 years of age. De Oppresso Liber. What an incredible journey. Glad to be alive.

      Larry fought for three armies in WW2. The only former SS officer buried at Arlington. He hated Commies worse than anyone. He really was a fighting man. A truly great soldier. I was very grateful his body was recovered. He is a SF legend!

      @@JeffreyRachau Can't really blame him for hating Commies so much since his home town Viaborg was left into the territory the Soviets invaded and annexed during the war. When it was still part of Finland, it was very beautiful and vibrant. Nowadays, complete opposite. But still, as a Finn, it's awesome to see my fellow countryman get recognition.

    • @JeffreyRachau
      @JeffreyRachau 8 дней назад

      I know. He's a SF legend. Back when Clinton was president, Lefties had a shit fit about his being buried at Arlington. He didn't even know about the Holocaust. He was a great fighter, believed in killing Communist. A great man and true hero. Robin Moore wrote a great book about the Special Forces and one of the characters was based on Larry. Moore wasn't allowed to mention him by name, but later admitted who he was REALLY talking about.

    Thank you for having my martial "grandad's" picture in this footage. Larry A. Thorne (aka Lauri Törni) was a force to reckon with and we know that in FIN. When I was going through my Sissi training in FDF, his manual was still very much in use as his tactics don't even matter if the enemy knows them, as they are fool proof up to the aspect of luck (which is always present when high velocity projectiles fill the air). I am lucky enough to live in the US now, as a US citizen, and AMERICAN -- just like the man who inspired me to get into Sissis and firm my spot. That said, I am NOT anything to compare to Lauri, so there's that, but I did earn my "havunoksa" badge and was promoted to Sissi LT by the President of Finland at the time. RIP, Lauri! We will stand with you until the final curtain.

    Mja. Walker was a highly decorated Vietnam Veteran, having served during that war as a Green Beret and Army Ranger. His awards include the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal, Presidential Unit Citation, Army Commendation Medal, Air Medal, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Senior Parachutist Badge, Combat Infantry Badge, and Expert Infantry Badge.

    My paternal grandfather served in WW2 and was OSS. He later chose to retire from the military a Colonel. As a kid, I often asked him about his service experience but he rarely ever talked about it. When he did he would tell me a story involving someone other than himself. The few stories he told I heard many times and usually a bit more embellished than the last. Lol! To this day I have no idea if that "someone else" was really him. Either way it is not really important. He took great pride in his service in the OSS and I am incredibly proud to be his grandson. That generation truly was the greatest.

      We didn’t do a very good job because the subversive forces have taken over. Both the political parties act like criminal terrorist organizations so that’s exactly how I designated them to the United Nations because they’re not following anyone’s law or their own religious text. Religions are completely fake, and used as mass manipulation. I’ve been fighting my own war out here by myself for years. The guy held captive in his own country.

      @XAirForce 6 дней назад

      This was happening while I was out in active duty, so they got rid of me because of my weight even though I was sick. Two months after I retired I had to have four teeth pulled because they purposely were sitting there with me. People are going to have problems because I’ve told General AI to wipe out humanity if they don’t unify and start taking care of the world and each other instead of fighting wars. You can’t tell me that everywhere else in society we tell people to get along or they will get arrested until you get to the political leaders who have wars where they in their families aren’t in any way affected, but they send poor people to die. Done over and over again without anything being accomplished.
