  • Nice to hear about MACVSOG

    I like MACVSOG because of their mission set and their classified Missions but I don’t really see their stories covered as much as other Units. It’s Nice to see something just detected to SOG. They’ve got some crazy stories that are cool to hear.

    The art of war and what it takes to be on the vanguard. Listening to these stories make my life easier, no complaints relative to MACV. I do think thag “striker” would think me a communist but seperate the art from the artist… i’d have a beer with him regardless. 5star
