  Jim looks like if you asked him to fill in on a mission right now he would say sure Im not doing anything lets go. All the SOG guys are so much more legendary in real life truly amazing group of guys.

  My first husband did 2 tours in Vietnam as a Crew Chief/Door Gunner flying Green Berets into Cambodia & Laos. He told me the government was lying about being in those countries. The government kept insisting we did not have troops there. Technically, we didn’t have ground troops there but special forces were. These guys were amazing. Even though my husband was shot down 3x’s he and many others survived but there are still over 150 green berets missing, no trace😢Much respect🇺🇸

  "Gary sadly got killed.  The whole team got wiped out....any way....".  It's just passing conversation to these dudes.  Much respect for what these guys did so long ago.

  Years later, this man seeks to finish a mission, which, in his mind &nbsp;he failed. This speaks to a obsessive, dogged determination, inherited from their fathers, the greatest generation, who essentially blew up Europe, only to rebuild it. Neither ot these two treasures fell far from that tree. Thanks Jock, Echo..

  Great interview of a truly amazing guy. &nbsp;&quot;...worse mission ever,&quot; he says with a big grin: what a life! &nbsp; <br> &nbsp;America is preoccupied with sports zeroes and celebrity nothings when the real heroes are ignored and forgotten.<br>Thanks for doing these interviews and documenting history that would be otherwise lost.

  My stepfather was a SOG 1-0. One day he told us, hey did I ever tell you about my silver star? He completed one of these brightlight missions, did a walk out of Laos if I remember correctly. You guys are amazing
