Ive watched 200 of these stories and this guy is top 5 for sure
This is absolutely the best interview I have seen in this entire series… I was actually based in Khe Sahn from June 1966 to December… I was there when the Marines landed… Everything this gentleman says was accurate and true… I cannot vouch for the chicken… I don’t know what else to say except that I really appreciate his telling!
Anyone who does more than 1 tour let alone 3 deserves the utmost respect what a great interview and a great man
I was a grunt in Vietnam in 1971. This man is incredible. Very rich life.
Welcome Home !!!
I watched it and can say Thank you for your service ..3 X !!! I learned a lot from this interview... What a courageous man !!!👍
Such a kind gentleman warrior 🇺🇸 Sir, i will forever remember your story, your life, your passion ‼️
Thank you. I realize how blessed I am to have been raised by your generation Sir. I felt as if my own father was talking.
Thank you,

I spent over 6 years in Vietnam 1 year in the army 5 as a contractor enjoyed your story and thank you
God bless all, love and light!!
A true southern gentleman. Thank you for your service, sir. You make me proud to be an American
What a great interview.. The “witch doctor and the chicken “ story was the best story I have heard..!! God bless you sir.... WELL DONE....
Ive heard alot of Interviews about SOG.
Those guys had some humongous Gonads.
Amazing story. Thank you Sir.
A very humble man. No chest thumping or self importance . Told his incredible story without putting himself as a hero ( HE IS). He glossed over the awful things he must have witnessed. Many people need to see what a real HERO is to this country NOT these loudmouth OVER paid congressmen. This is a man who did something for this country with little pay and no complaint.
I could listen to you forever Sir...Thank You
I was out of the Navy about two years and read a article in Life about our advisors while I was in a barbershop and tried to reenlist but I had a set of twin girls and another daughter and was told I would cost to much money to rejoin.
What a great fella Everyone’s hero 👍👍👍
I really enjoyed this.
Thank you Sir, God bless you...
Legend
You got froze by the cold war good thing we had you Coach!
Bet that radioman was damn glad that you were gone,making him walk so he would get pungied in a deep hole before you would.what if you would have lost the radio? Article 15 offense.a Marine wouldn't do that.how did you treat your "yards and your Muongs?,
Old School Special Forces
Wow what an interesting guy. I have some books on Leaping Lina and how Special Forces worked under the CIA for cross boarder operations early in the war.
Great American.
Wonder why you won't talk about your final tour.
If you ask this question…you did not listen very well!
The interviewer has a great voice.
If you would have hung witch doc the chicken would have probably been expelled , and the man would have lived.but then the witch doctor's family would have tried to put a chicken in your stomach. But the Viet's would have loved you for it
there was a Dan Pollard at Khe Sanh when I arrived in June of 63… are you one in the same?
The Aussies I knew would have laughed at you for sea sinkness in a good natured way.they probably been sea sick plenty themselves why do you think they had that machine they put you in?
