I really enjoy learning new things and thought this would make for good conversation.
Ive been reading a bunch about Vietnam the last 2 years. Been on a pretty big Macvsog kick.
Yeah I think I’d like reading about that. Can you recommend any books to start out with?
Any of John Plasters (SOG or Secret Commandos), John Stryker Meyer’s books. Also look up Meyer’s SOGCAST (produced by Jocko). It will take you down the wormhole. Jocko also has several podcasts with SOG folks on it.
Israel continued their Slow Motion Holocaust of the Palestinians.
That incident was in 2023, but it was pretty much the same on March 8, 2022, 2021, going back to 1935.

North Korea, Russia and Iran. Still evil…
Not the people, just the Regimes. Beginning in January 1996, Russia participated in a NATO operation (Operation Joint Endeavor) in Bosnia. I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner and served alongside Russian troops. Even though they normally would have sided with Serbia, they wanted to stop actual genocide in the war torn former Yugoslavia Republic.
How times have changed…
You were the one on the far right?
No. I am not in the picture. This is from an article about Operation Joint Endeavor. I was there though, we convoyed in through Hungary and Croatia, then across the Sava River via pontoon bridge. With 1st Armored Division. Russians flew into Tuzla via troop and cargo transport aircraft from Russia. This ain’t about me. This is about Russia being part of a NATO operation…
The Russians barely could afford to participate, but we helped them in any way we could. Fuel, food, etc. We built and carried several latrines to them in one particular convoy early on, when they were setting up their camp in Serbian held territory. We traveled back and forth from the Bosnian held side thru the three mile separation corridor regularly, as the 1st AD 1st and 2nd brigades were also in Serb held territory. We performed mobile maintenance on vehicles and airstrike radios and equipment.
