I thought they were going to bring up an incident at the Bell Bar in 1972.

SEA Operations and the tattle tales who live on their war stories

It was a nytimes story. That's about enough said. Through the late 60's and earl;y 70's, the Nytimes ran their asses off trying to get a MACVSOG story. They found a blank wall. Nobody would speak to them. The same s - - t that CNN did in the 90's.

We will never be free from persons of low moral character that would rather have a story rather than allow secret opns alone, and stay under the radar.

No mention of Rick's either, or Bottom's Up or Flaming Mug... not a lot of secrets revealed then.

Just ran across this thread.

I knew Luke Thompson.

He was an excellent instructor in the 91a section of the Medic course in 1967.

I ran into him again later when he was an A Team medic in VN.

He was a squared away troop.

Years later, I saw him on the CBS news regarding the Wilson deal.

Wilson and Terpil, it was later discovered, had signed an agreement with Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to help train terrorists.

If green berets went to prison for training islamic terrorists half of us would be in prison right now, along with every administration since the 60's.

And you can take that to the bank.

Yes many of us "older" SF guys remember the lies from CNN concerning Tail Wind.

That's how the ultra-left socialists work, on lies.

Regarding the tailwind deal.

There are some folks taking credit for things that a lot of other people did.

This was a big issue about the time I joined the SF Teamhouse.

All I'm gonna say. Sue me.

Tailwind a fair wind

Due to all the shit CNN brought up, DA had to do records searches to answer questions raised. By their diligence there was an unintended consequence of action. To their credit, The DA staff recognized a diamond in the rough which later translated to MACV-SOG being awarded the Presidential Unit Award. Long overdue, but appreciated anyway.
