Yes, to all of you. If our government wasn't compiled the way that it was then the Ambassadors wouldn't have been able to run their "Secret Wars (MACVSOG)" according to each one's standard. Ambassador Sullivan was nothing short of an Arsehole! Allowing a SpecOp team to only operate 20 miles inside Laos and not being able to cut off the Ho Chi Minh Trail was just a waste. Same goes for the Arsebassador of Cambodia. Same goes for General Abrahms, and few others I could name but nobody would no who they are. Body Counts, What a way to run a frigging war. My specialty is the VIetnam War and SpecOps during the war. At least Westmoreland had it right when he wanted to go into Laos to cut off the Trail.
By the way I am opened to further discussion on this if anybody else would like to learn a little something more on Special Ops in Vietnam. MACVSOG being my specialty!

But SAS & SBA despised Yank SF, cause they did things like light fires giving position away etc. bad soldiering basically.Agent Orange still causing birth defects. Dunno anymore.
The SAS that served in Vietnam were Australian, not British.
