These guys are all glad to have the opportunity to tell their stories but there is zero ego or any hint of a brag with any of them. Total quiet warriors.
His memory is so sharp and he is so intelligent. Please get him back on to tell more stories mike. I’ve listened to everything SOG and Carrot is one of the best.
Bring an Army veteran I take immense pride in my MACV-SOG brothers. My brothers were writing THE BOOK - /SOP/TTP for SOF. I love these stories and my respect if it’s possible just continues to grow and grow. Love and respect my brothers.
May God Bless you and your family sir. Merry Christmas. A heartfelt bow to you sir for your service and sacrifice to our beautiful country. I if able will never forget your time in uniform.
I seen pics of the "wild carrot" in SOG books. ive watched several of his podcast interviews. he has a.remarkably calm, peaceful demeanor. Salute!!! Jim the Patriot Gentleman.
Fantastic interview. Grew up around WW2, Korean and Vietnam vets. Great respect for all of them. WW2 vets literally saved the world and then just came home and acted like nothing even happened. Korean vets got fed to the wolves but still saved South Korea against impossible odds only to be ignored and forgotten. Vietnam vets never stood a chance thru no fault of their own. Got treated like dirt by our government and the American people. They all deserved better from the country that sent them. Knowing all that I still joined after 9/11. It was the right thing to do even though the politicians screwed us over from day one. Thanks for interviewing men like this while you still can. Thanks for everything else you and others like you are doing to raise awareness and keep us informed.
Interesting interview👍 Loved listening to your conversation with this oldschool warrior,two different generation Green berets💪👍 Keep up the great work Mike😃💪
I truly enjoy this gentlemans story very inspiring as well as interesting. You can tell what a humble and smart individual this man is and with zero ego. I also love the way Mike interviews people down to earth and very honest. Thank you Mike and Jim for an hour or more of riveting story telling and great chemistry between two Army Heros!!
Hey Mike loving these pod casts keep it up, speaking of jumps C1/508 pir had the division record for unassing the aircraft.that was 1975 .We were real lucky our first Sgt was in 7th group nam Mike force, he hooked it up and we would run into teams training and they shared there experiences in Vietnam,we loved these men they had all of our attention they were like a big Brothers.
Love the vietnam stories, Mike. It's important for you and guys like you to get their stories told. They aren't getting any younger. My uncle did 2 tours as a marine in Vietnam and is no longer with us due to agent orange complications. I really wish I had gotten to hear his story, but he never liked to talk about it.
My dad used to know a former Green Beret who served in Vietnam, his name was Jim Daniels, he was a cool guy, he claimed to have blown up the North Vietnamese President's house, he wasn't home though.
He is on heavy meds for this PTDS, dry mouth, kind of a auto pilot guide I call it. Good man that misses his friends because are corrupt government. I love you brother TY for your service.
SOG Museum. That sounds like something that should already exist. I bet with Mike leading the charge that could be crowd funded without having to wait for any “ officials” help.
If you like MACVSOG check out Project Delta. Very similar during Vietnam only their Green Berets rain in-country. But it was more elite. The commander named his next unit, Delta Force after it.
LETTTSSSS FUCKKINGGGG GOOOOOOOOOO WILD CARROT. also would love to see some of these sog warrior go on Joe rogan podcast maybe alongside another sog warrior or a vet from modern day US conflict
The "rpg" may have been an American SAM that wasnt supposed to be in Laos/Cambodia. Kinda like the "rpg" that took out the 24 operators on the qrf for Redwings....ask the couple devgru guys why they were pulled off the chinook last minute. Because a higher pay grade knew there were heat seakers in the area. Same shit as Nam. The CIA had Special activities division back then too. Spooky shit.
I lived in Nha Trang for a while. Looking out west to the mountains, driving from Cam Ranh to Nha Trang, it looks forboding even now. I can't imagine being out there back then. When is someone going to make a movie about these legendary men?
Mike, I love these stories, but can you incorporate lots of images and visual content for the viewer who likes to immerse themselves in the story. For example, I would like to see this bad ass dude in uniform back then in Vietnam, etc. FYI, Shawn Ryhan does not do it. wink wink
Jim is a character in our video game SOG Prairie Fire. He helped us design it. A true gentleman.
We meet again...
Can’t get enough interviews with these MACV-SOG dudes. Absolute badasses
Couldn’t say it better myself
These guys are all glad to have the opportunity to tell their stories but there is zero ego or any hint of a brag with any of them. Total quiet warriors.
Different breed 😂
Amen, absolutely silent hero’s and should get all the notoriety as possible. 💪🏽💯🇺🇸
Any others you recommend? I saw John Stryker Meyer
Keep pushing content glover your killing it brother
Gosh, he is atleast mid 70's and still a picture of optimism, enthusiasm, and vigor. We should all count our blessings and strive to live like that!
His memory is so sharp and he is so intelligent. Please get him back on to tell more stories mike. I’ve listened to everything SOG and Carrot is one of the best.
Anytime I see “THE WILD CARROT “, I’m definitely listening! Love hearing Mr. Shorten’s stories!

Wild Carrot looks and acts so young. What was he? 6 years old at the time? Amazing.
I'm going on 79 years old. ;)
Appreciate your continued podcasts Mike. God bless brother!

Heard about Jim from other SOG interviews. Man I love this guy!
These SOG interviews are the best. Jim is an excellent story teller, I always tune in when I see his name.
A Brave Patriot and a Multi Talented Soldier...

Like button for America ❤
Man this was great, thanks Mike!
So the rate of SK (Store Kepper) and PC(Postal Clerk) both merge and converted to LS(Logistics Specialist). This is gonna be a great podcast.
He is amazing, my Dad served in MAC V SOG. He did 3x tours, reason to find a lost teammate.
The wild carrot!! Need more of these sog interviews
I miss EVERYTHING about jumping but that sudden stop at the end.
Great interview and guest.
Awesome man
I wish you would’ve asked him to talk more about Jerry MadDog Shriver! We need more videos about him!!!
My dad used to know a former Green Beret who served in Vietnam, his name was Jim Daniels, he was a cool guy, he claimed to have blown up the North Vietnamese President's house, he wasn't home though.
He is on heavy meds for this PTDS, dry mouth, kind of a auto pilot guide I call it. Good man that misses his friends because are corrupt government. I love you brother TY for your service.
More Mac v sog guys 👌🏾🙏🏾
You kill these Mac v sog interviews I only watch Jockos to get more content
Jim is the man
That’s an American badass right there!!
Love Carrots stories and he is such an unsuspecting Hero and I think that’s Bad Ass!! 💯💪🏽🇺🇸
maybe the best vietnam interview i have heard,
½ a cup of gasoline in the mortar tube ... yep Wild Carrot title fits.
SOG Museum.
That sounds like something that should already exist. I bet with Mike leading the charge that could be crowd funded without having to wait for any “ officials” help.
Wow so a radiologist is actually an MD, a licensed medical doctor. What a life Wild carrot lived.
82ND
JUMPMASTER...best Job I ever had.
The responsibility and the Authority was a drug for me.
Super nice!!! What brand is the stove?
Legend.
@48:50 he says it “got hit with an RPG” inferring it didn’t really happen like that - What happened?!
Dude a legend
Great Man !!!
If you like MACVSOG check out Project Delta. Very similar during Vietnam only their Green Berets rain in-country. But it was more elite. The commander named his next unit, Delta Force after it.
Awesome
Damn!! If you look up man in the dictionary , you would see this man. Great interview.
Sir may I suggest Lynne M. “Blackjack” Black next for an interview. God Bless and more success 🇺🇸🇵🇭❤️
Good suggestion!
He would make a great ( non Hollywood) film biography
He's great
Doctor Carrot in the house
Incredible wow
Awsome !
At 0:13 is it Chris VanSant?
That’s right!
@mikeglovershow That's so cool! I didn't know you two were friends.
Former Marine jumper then transferred to AF Pararescue. We don’t get much notoriety but that’s fine. If you know you know
LETTTSSSS FUCKKINGGGG GOOOOOOOOOO WILD CARROT. also would love to see some of these sog warrior go on Joe rogan podcast maybe alongside another sog warrior or a vet from modern day US conflict
What a guy....
Am I right in thinking Jim was born in Liverpool UK ?
The "rpg" may have been an American SAM that wasnt supposed to be in Laos/Cambodia. Kinda like the "rpg" that took out the 24 operators on the qrf for Redwings....ask the couple devgru guys why they were pulled off the chinook last minute.

I did dits and dots for 8 freaking weeks!

God is so good ! What a wealth of opportunities !
Ken rhee next on the podcast
The true meaning of a stud!!!!!! URAH!!!!
How is this man able to walk around with those big ball of steel?
So what happened to that helicopter?
Makes my life feel tame. 😂
🙏🏻😢❤️🙏🏻
I lived in Nha Trang for a while. Looking out west to the mountains, driving from Cam Ranh to Nha Trang, it looks forboding even now. I can't imagine being out there back then. When is someone going to make a movie about these legendary men?
❤️💯👍
All the 💉and 🏋🏼♂️in the world will never make you this alpha. 💯 Real one!
You Must Get NICK BROKEHUSAN although the bad language might be difficult 😮 However he is a GEM MACVSOG 😎😎
Mike, I love these stories, but can you incorporate lots of images and visual content for the viewer who likes to immerse themselves in the story. For example, I would like to see this bad ass dude in uniform back then in Vietnam, etc. FYI, Shawn Ryhan does not do it. wink wink
Great advice!
Would y'all like to sing songs and hold teddy bears during story time too?
I’ll do that for sure!
@@sicituradastra9216😂😂😂😂😂
This!!
Tell him don't lie about the Navy background l will get Uncle Don Shipley on him 😂
These guys faced a formidable enemy. Glad talaban wasn't no where near as tough lol he also right that steroid use wasn't a thing back in 60s and 70s
