    I had the privilege of knowing Son Tay raider MAJ Dan Turner. He used to volunteer his time and tell his story of the Son Tay raid to every Army OCS class until his death in 2015. I think I sat through every one of his briefs while I worked at OCS. We are losing a lot of history from the Vietnam conflict. I appreciate the efforts this podcast makes in capturing this important oral history.

      Abandoning U.S. POWs Surreal!😱 The two best books by far are: 1) AN ENORMOUS CRIME by Bill Hendon, and 2) ABANDONED IN PLACE by Lynn O'shea. both are meticulous in their research and documenting sources.

    Thanks for having Mr. Buckler on, Jocko! I have heard about this op since I was a young boy as family friend, Pat St. Clair, was one of the raiders, and one of the four w/o combat experience. I didn't see him much as a kid as he was busy doing Army stuff, but occasionally I would see him at his father-in-law's Memorial Day cookout. This is where he told me when I was 14, I didn't need a big fancy gym to get strong. He said as a boy, growing up in the Roanoke, VA area in the country, he took a five gallon bucket, filled it with cement, tied a rope to the bucket, then threw the other end of the rope over a large tree branch with a pulley at the top, and that's what he used to get strong. I never forgot that and that was 23 years ago. God bless these guys!

    As Terry was talking about the raid I remember all the lessons from Admiral McRaven's book from his post graduate days. Then, I hear you mention it, Jocko. That was a fascinating read. I read it, I don't know, probably 10 years ago now. I used it as a source for a World War 2 class in college, referencing the Eben-Emael raid.

Now have the gross displeasure of informing you that my friend, and your fighting buddy, Glen Rouse passed away within the last month or so. He was not only a highly decorated Soldier, but he was also a highly decorated and respected police officer. He is missed by his fellow officers. If anyone would like me to try to find and forward his obituary, please let me know.

    Fun fact, the Israelis Seryet Matkal Counter Terrorism unit looked to the US Son Tay raid as a operational template for their rescue plan in The Entebbe Uganda raid in 1976. The IDF pilots and commandos studied how the Son Tay raiders flew into North Vietnam and avoided NVA radar and Anti aircraft detection systems. They also emulated the landing on the X of the target and using surprise and speed to gain the advantage. Even the gear the Son Tay raiders used was heavily looked at by the Israelis, the raiders were using (at time) state of the art night optics, red dot sights and illuminators to enhance night time shooting accuracy. The Son Tay raiders were credited with eliminating an estimated 200 Chinese special forces advisors along with a mix of NVA soldiers while the raiders not taking a signal KIA. Operation Thunderbolt by the IDF is regarded as one the most text book hostage rescue missions in history, and it was the Son Tay raid that they looked at to pull it off

    Regarding the wine tasting bit towards the end, what probably happened is that the Vietnamese had a bunch of wine left over from when the French used to occupy it. So when they booted the French out, they had a lot of wine left over. Since most Vietnamese didn't have a taste for the stuff and never used it in their own cooking, they put it into storage. Fast-forward to the next war, and they have all these American POWs that have nothing to do. So they break out the wine.

Starting a course in electrical engineering mid 90's we got a good science practice guide with a quote on the first page, "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail". Was inspired by a 13 year old cypher punk who started an NFT interviewed on Mr Pompliano podcast a few hours ago. Curiously i spent a proportion of the day studying up on Cicada.

    I was driving a duce-n-half full of chutes back to base when going by the entrance road of the demo range. The truck shuttered with a loud explosion, so I stopped it, got out to check the rear tires. OFF in the distance at the demo range was a mushroom-shaped cloud, Tires were all ok, so I got back in the truck and thought dam that was a loud explosion, it wasn't till later that I saw Army Redcross 3/4 ton ambulance heading out to the range area, then another? It wasn't till I pulled into the 7th SF/GP Motor Pool that the Warrant Officer in charge said that there was an accident out at the demo range. All the ambulances were sent out there, plus a UH-1B to get any survivors to Womack Army Hospital. It was a Very BAD day.

    Eric L. Haney former Delta Force operator wrote in his book of the unit planning a POW recovery raid deep into Vietnam to recover POW’s left behind in the war. The year was 1979. Some forces behind the scenes in the government upon learning of the mission decided to leak the information to the press, the POWs would be executed and evidence of their existence destroyed, and the mission would then be canceled.
