  • Terry spends an hr with us to educate about the difference between Hatchet Force and a RT Team, his first experience with combat, what he felt was a realistic Vietnam war movie and much more.

    Draftee here in 67. Our Infantry AIT had a visit from a Special Forces recruiter. Myself and 15 others signed up but found out about 3 weeks from graduation that it was illegal for a draftee to sign up for SF. A 2 year guy would not have enough time in service to spend much time in country after all the training. I found out later that this was the exact time that SF was losing a lot of guys and they desperately needed replacements. Through a lot of luck I ended up as a clerk to the DCG of USARV in Long Binh. We had great duty and I consider myself fortunate. I do not have PTSD from being rocketed and being on the Reaction Force when the NVA attacked us on 23 Feb 69. We lost 11 people and killed 300+ enemy (if my memory is correct). You guys were always heroes to us and we were glad to support you. My office was involved with POL, Graves Registration, Special Procurement and Food Service as part of G4. I am now 78 and suffer health problems from Agent Orange. I would do it again and did so with the Army Reserves in Desert Storm. Welcome home brother.

      @@arthurbrumagem3844 The rules at that time was that you could only add to your enlistment time during the first few weeks of training. We were each given the option of becoming a Regular Army soldier and signing up for a specialty school. I chose to take my chances with the two years they had assigned to me. I had a draftee buddy who took the option of going to map making school. So he served an extra year and ended up with a great job and new skill.

    As a UK veteran (not SF) I have a huge amount of respect for not just the SOG guys but the regular LRRPs as well. Very highly skilled and how young they were and having to make life and death decisions under the most extreme pressure. Terry articulates his views very well.

    However there were special CIA very very unknown groups with MAC that will never be spoken of , our job was 3 to 5 men and we were not expected to return, most did not. Why ??
    Because that type of violence would never be approved by any president, no medals no acknowledgements ever. Even at home, who were you? what did you do? silence

    Some great interviews, awesome content with some truly legendary people who put everything on the line. Not sure about your stance on videogames though tbh, since you may as well color the same people who watch or collect war movies for entertainment. Playing COD doesn't disrespect the people who serve or even begin to help them understand the act of killing in war, they are after all a medium for people to engage with just as strategy games and military art or fictional war books do. No ones want to experience the horrors of war, just as no ones pays $60 to attend a military funeral. But like you say, it's your own opinion and everyone's entitled to one.

    Look at the WW2 handgun training videos with the 1911 & A1. It was all instinctive shooting. Small sights because they were not in a target match. Today, everybody has to have a 1911 with tall target sights. That was not how the military trained. At least back then.

    Does stolen valor fit a situation where a clerk typist gives himself a medal by slipping it through the authorization process and then using those medals on resumes and car tags? Those medals are legal due to the authorization process but definitely immoral. What is your opinion?

      As i am not a vet not for me to comment on. Every person is different. But only a percentage of the military is ever going to see combat. Others are behind the lines. I know some men who have removed hundreds of enemy from the battlefield that can sleep just fine at nights.

      @scallopohare9431 9 месяцев назад

      @@interviewswithwarriors Yes, and one factor is how the person is treated. I am a woman veteran with noncombat PTSD, "noncombat" being the term used to gloss over SA in the military. Most of the men I served with were decent human beings, but the predators get too many opportunities. I have a pretty good life now, but occasionally mentally chew over some aspect of my experience from that era. Edit in East Asia. It's oddly helpful.
