"Following the battle, the U.S. Central Command conducted an investigation on what had occurred, led by US Army General Guy Swan. The report, released to the public in June 2011, concluded "inadequate measures taken by the chain of command" facilitated the attack, but praised the troops fighting at the base for repulsing the attack "with conspicuous gallantry, courage and bravery." Four U.S. Army officers-Captain Melvin Porter, Captain Stoney Portis, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Brown, and Colonel Randy George-who oversaw COP Keating were admonished or reprimanded for command failures."

Matz!!!! I immediately recognized this dude from that History channel series years ago that highlighted his homie Rob Guzzo. Im glad to see Mark pulled himself from that dark place and is thriving. Respect, Mark.

I heard lots of f bombs and didn't understand what the combat engineer job is about... Sorry, dislike

Great interview . Dave Sabben is certainly in a position to explain quite eloquently what happened as he was there and had radio contact as well as contact with the opposing force. I’m glad to have come across this podcast, I have only viewed brief documentary footage that included Mr Sabben about the Battle. Thank you for your hard work and thank you Mr David Sabben for your service and very vivid recollection.

I thank God everyday I’m alive and well. With the 💩 I’ve been through, it’s a miracle I’m still here! ♥️🙏🏻

I well presented documentation of the battle of Long tan, i spent twenty years in the arm forces Army, i was involved in the battle of Bin Ba 1969 5RAR and again in 1971

Great podcast. I was with 3-61 for the Iraq deployment, got out before Afghanistan. Very proud of all the men I had the honor to serve with.

I was a 2Lt Army Nurse at the 8th Field Hospital in Nha Trang RVN '66-'67. My experiences were vastly different, but like Capt Evans, I can only remember the name of one of the patients I cared for. Earlie Hamilton Jr was a Pfc from Long Beach, CA, who was greviously wounded, but survived long enough to be Air Evaced to Japan, where he died. I say his name to remember him.

He's my brigade commander now. Badass guy, super happy to be under his command. He's transparent, just, fair and a true warrior

Thank you Pamela for sharing your husband. What an extraordinary young man he was. You my dear are also extraordinary. I lost a daughter unexpectedly when ahe was 26yrs old. I understand grief. But your husband 's story touched me so much. I'm 74 and had a brother & brother-in-law serve in Vietnam. Both returned. You have had to deal with just unbelievable grief. Obviously you are doing amazing things with your life. Your Doug would have been proud. Grammy from Texas

Thank you for your amazing service Diane. My brother & brother in law were in Vietnam in artillery. They weren't injured & came home. So many men came home because of your nursing skills! Thank you for persevering to get the women's Vietnam Memorial built. Grammy from Texas

My drill instructor. We called him McDaddy Dade

Farm girl...........the best ever!

On the Dictaphone tape-recorder with the 'leaf blower' mechanical noise, is there any chance it's compressed audio that makes up the bulk of the tape?

Hell yea. He was my drill instructor 3205 India company San Diego. 2014 I believe. Great dude and I remember him telling us his story the night before our graduation. He said if we made it rhat far he would tell us how he got his navy cross. I still remember that to this day.

Hey HPG new sub holy sh!t this interview was great! Criminal y’all don’t have more subs

To our Vietnam Vets nurses I dedicate this song from SSgt Barry Sadler 1966 record album "Ballad of the Green Beret." to you fine ladies who server our county during the Vietnam conflict thanks, you for your service and sacrifice, and welcome home, "Salute to the Nurses" SSgt Barry Sadler After the battle after the fight many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white And all of the men in this war torn land salute the nurses of Vietnam They know the awful toll of war each day they know more than any the price we pay A soldier his hands too burned to write a nurse takes down his words through the lonely night They have gone to the front where men fought in the night from Pleiku to Qui Nhon where war these men fight Many a wounded soldier pain is eased for a while by opening his eyes to see a nurses smile To each of the wounded on the operating shelf these nurses give a part of themselves I know every soldier to the last man will sometimes say a prayer for the nurses of Vietnam After the battle after the fight many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white And all of the men in this war torn land salute the nurses of Vietnam

Great interview. Jones is the real deal didnt water it down and spoke what he thought. Respect, what a warrior.

Great story and interview, very well spoken. I have spent some time in Vietnam and visited the Long Tan site. Respect and condolences to the soldiers from both sides involved.

Will there be any new episodes?

IAwesome interview William and Tim - both of you are amazing with your knowledge that you explain so well and share with others. THANK YOU BOTH

No disrespect Ricky Recon, but you sound like a stoner surfer in this interview.

We were all very naive and innocent young women. The prejudice of the men was extraordinary.. we worked way beyond the men and did not get our promotions or awards as the men did. They made us feel ashamed and like lesser humans.

No se que está ablando pero igual forma feliz por ti con cariño felicidades por tu logros en la distancia con mucho cariño ❤❤❤

Hey why did you block me on Facebook? Are you ready to admit that you are wrong about the J models getting rid of the 25mm? I get it your older but everything from 1994 and up I know way more than you!

Love and miss u Major Doug

Thanks for your service sir

Very interesting and what a small world , I just met him at the cafe after I was done with my running ❤

I'm friends with one of the guys from 525. Hell of a good man, and an even better Christian.

What’s happened to this podcast haven’t heard anything in months?

I know Chris and AXE from Firebase Thomas!

the terrain and elevetion was brutal i cant imagine how smoked yaw was when u make contact...

A cool, calm headed highly intelligent leader Bulldog is . And ole Jimbo Hovermale I believe his name was. Bulldog thought lot his comrades and wanted make it priority 1 they get home alive and complete the mission . Wow . Technology has come so far since then . Even with satellites and drones now , you still got have eyes and ears on the ground to this day . God bless our soldiers and our great nation 🇺🇸

That was a great interview guys. I learned a lot listening to you guys. ♥️🤍💙🇺🇸🙌🏽

49:40. His name is John Chapman and he is an American hero.

Don't think for a minute that sexual assault in the military is any less prevalent today than it was during Vietnam. I am retired from the VA. 100% of the women Veterans that I encountered had been sexually assaulted while they were in the military -- all branches. Their perpetrators still largely go unpunished.

I am deeply disappointed to see any decorated veteran sell his honor so cheaply to a totally commercial interest. And then to dance his fat ass around like some old macho Rambo wannabe is really sad! I hope this company paid you well so that you can afford a good psychiatrist and get over your past self! I hear that the Proud Boys are looking for a few good fools that can't or won't adjust to a civil society! Good luck brother!

Looking for William B. Garrett . Where is he presently ? Married?

Nurses are angels and War Nurses are a special breed of angels.

Learned a lot about William Garrett listening to this podcast. He is a very smart, compassionate, kind, caring, honest, loving and special man.

RIP Charlie Hopkins

I Know The Fourth Estate, Was Supporting Our Communist Enemy, In Vietnam, Just Like Today, Our Enemies Are Invading Our Republic. And The Fourth Estate Is Complicit. Capeesh 🤺🤺🤺🤺🇺🇲

Nurse 🌹Diane, You're One Of Those Courageous Vietnam Angels, 🙏🏻 God Bless Your Soul, 🙏🏻

So Alan not calling home was absolutely crucial. People that have t been in don’t understand. The wives talk non stop. So imagine this.. #2&3 get killed. #1,4,5,6,7,8 all call home and say “It wasn’t me”. The wives of number 1,4,4,6,7,8,immediately start gossiping. Before you know it, the wives of #2&3 suddenly realize. The new is saying 2 people are dead and all the other wives have heard from the husbands. So they immediately know 100% they are swimming up a creek. - people don’t understand the comm blackouts were rules wrote in blood. ESP 1993 incident in Mog. I know several widows and families that it added a extra layer of trauma. They feel like their dead husband has been disrespected by his so called “Friemds”.

Awesome love to hear William he is a great man

Diane cam to tomah,wi va hospital in about 81. She showed up twice. We could only have guys in the unit and we just shot the breeze. Damn good visits. This was for ptsd vets and we really found her visits enjoyable.

DK is pure and simple a roole model of the highest class! I've seen Restrepo several times. It speaks for itself! The US Army is just the best! Oustanding interview.

6hours after you made the call that he told you would put him at risk he was dead? That’s a massive coincidence JS

Ask any 82d jackass who came like 2-3 hours later….LATE, and they’ll tell you all hell was breaking loose as they jumped in. MGs, Flak, you name it. They’ll typically say “The Rangers didn’t even have to be there.” Meanwhile in reality they jumped in in complete silence and it took them 10 hours to assemble to mission strength… like 60%. They were undisciplined clowns who talked big-shit heroics when all was said and done. Fact. < 1 >

His courage in telling his story is wonderful. He’s a good man. Thanks to you for having him on.
