    We really need a petition to get these guys to make a Band of Brothers/ Pacific Style Miniseries about SOG. I think it would be a huge success there’s so many people that are obsessed with these stories!!

      Just a Vietnam mini series of some kind. Many things made Band Of Brothers the greatest but what really set it apart from the Pacific story wise was the state side training as a group then going off to battle as a group.

I can honestly say that he and his fellow SOG members are some of the most heroic soldiers that ever served our Great Republic . Every mission they undertook would be Worthy of medals . These young men were truly the BEST and the BRIGHTEST .

      Far and away! Since finding his podcast, the algorithm of UA-cam has been sending many episodes. It makes all other podcasts look bad. This is about real life. This is not theory or abstract thought about the war. My family has Vietnam vets. I have more respect for them every day. Thank you to ALL of these brave men. They deserve unending respect for these acts of courage... Thank you to Jocko for bringing honor to those who served.

    Great interview Tilt! Babyson even mentioned "Mad Dog" Jerry Shriver. Reading another comment in this Podcast. Referencing a type of "Band of Brothers " For all the SOG men. That would be great. The same people that created the band of brothers need to make that Saga about all of you Very Brave American Sons. That would keep it from being Hollywood "cheesy". No Wokeness!! John you are doing a good thing by bringing these stories to the light. I am reading Lynn Blacks book Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Wish he were sitting next to you while doing these Podcasts. I have read all three of your books. You guys have some real Brass Balls, doing those missions day in and day out. Lived through it to tell about it. Thank you John. God Bless You and Your Family and Keep You Safe!!! Thank you Jocko!!!

I met bruce crandall there along with many other Medal of Honor recipients. It was a great time. We had a open bar the whole time. it was amazing to drink and talk with such an amazing group of people.

      A deep dive is to read the Congressional Hearing on the problems with the M-16. See the last section where they suggested criminal prosecution of some people involved; for comparison see the scandal of the mal-functioning torpedos in WWII. How many people are on THE WALL because there weapon mal-functioned in a fire-fight. Shame; never forget, never forgive.
