Love it. I heard John Stryker Meyer/SOG on a Jocko podcast. Absolutely insane stories of what they did in the jungles over there. Real life teams of Rambos taking off dog tags/IDs, and then being dropped in across the fence to wreak havoc. At one time the death rate was above 100% for those team guys. MAD respect for SOG guys. Any interview or podcast with SOG guys and support teams is great.

The casualty rate for the elite SOG teams was officially around 96% percent. Despite this, the men continued to operate at a very high rate and they killed an average of 158 enemy troops for every American lost.

When my Uncle went on one ambush with them, after they set up a overwatch position, he could not believe when one of the guys asked him to pack a wound he was carrying, a shrapnel hole in his hip the size of a quarter that stunk to high heaven & my uncle was packing the gauze in to the second joint deep in it ,the guy promised he would fly out to get it looked at after the ambush.
