I've just watched the interview with Larry Chambers and Gary Linderer and it's difficult after reading all their books and seeing past interviews witnessing their cognitive decline. Our Vietnam Vets are aging and are dying off like I seen with our WW2 Vets and it's important to get their testimonies while they are with us for future generations. GOD BLESS all our vets.
@@CharleneJTaylor1968 Dont have those books. ( not yet anyway, much respect towards Larry & Gary !) I do have books that are super great related to MACV SOG ...both Dale Hanson & Roger lockshier.
My climbing partner was in Vietnam. In the years that we climbed together, he told me one time that he was Special Forced. That was it. We had an unspoken understanding that we didn’t talk about his military career. We were on the 3rd pitch of a 4 pitch climb. That was the farthest thing from my mind. I didn’t ask and he didn’t offer to elaborate. In the time we spent together, I knew him well enough to know that he’d been through some serious shit. Nothing rattled him. And he never critiqued my skills or methods. As long as we made it to the top, that’s all that mattered. We _always_ made it to the top. He was pretty religious too. But again, it wasn’t a hot topic. We didn’t climb on Sundays. I was in my upper 20’s in the late 90’s. Obviously he was decades older than me. One day he handed me all of his gear and said he was done. Once you have a partner like him, it’s difficult to trust anyone else. We lost touch and I dare say he’s retired from life. I wouldn’t bet on it though. He was an anomaly and a father figure to a certain extent. Not knowing his story was probably best as it could have changed our dynamics. ~ Wherever you are buddy, climb on and I miss you.
My dad was lrrp. Silver star, purple heart. He doesn't speak of it. He kept his medals thrown in a box for 50 years. I'm only now trying to read or hear about it. It f'ed him up mentally his whole life. Thankful for interviews like this.
You are not alone in this. I never knew my Dad was in LRRP until after he passed on 2010. I learned this at the funeral home as his youngest brother told the funeral director what we wanted in his obituary. I had 2 young children and a wife when he passed. The war destroyed him after 4 years in Vietnam and I never had him growing up He came home and found the bottle and was dangerous " my mom's words" and divorced him. I love him and hurt for him. He stopped drinking and somehow turned his life around once he found peace in his mind but would never fall asleep at night and would catch naps during daylight. He hated to be referred to as a RANGER . He was LRRP and had no problem letting you know that.
@@justin6354 I read how a lot of the OG Lurps (the LRRP) resented what happened to them when Big Army changed them from a provisional unit attachment to an actual formalized unit. Because the LRRPs (the Foul Dudes) they ran themselves. You would have regular army captains and majors and first sergeants and at one point a Lt Col, come into their compound and tell them they were out of uniform and those weapons aren't authorized and all this crap that might fly in regular army but the LRRPs were by design irregular. Like the Seals, the SOG, and the Scout Snipers - the LRRPs were "the men with green faces" to the enemy, and they were scared shitless of them because of how effective they were. But when they were at a firebase or in the rear the Big Army types with the giant egos couldn't handle that. So inevitably the DOD systematically shut down the OG Lurp units and reorganized them into LRP Ranger units that had more oversight. During this change many of these heroes who took on these impossible missions were relegated to shit burning details, REMF positions, and had their careers torched. Some managed to transfer to things like SOG and other SMU units and guys like Miller stayed with the program when it went from LRRP to LRP 75th Ranger, but not everyone. I'm thankful that your father, learning about some of what he had gone through, eventually found peace. To you and your family all the best.
Thanks for the stories Kenn. My oldest brother David Bacon was 101st. Airborne for 3 tours right by Huy starting in mid 68. He passed away a few years ago from a stomach aneurysm. I hate that this generation is getting aged! I have such respect for you guys. I remember my brother had to change out of his uniform when coming back to the States to keep from being harassed. It's a shame how you guys were treated, I'm sorry you guys were done that way. Thank you for all your sacrifice Kenn!
I am a 5 RR operator of the former South African Defence Force. Some of you gentlemen were our seniors in 44 Pathfinder Coy and my years in 32 Bn. My utmost respect to all of you.
MR Miller. Thank you for your service. You should have the tab since you are the one that led the way! My first sergeant James Vickory spent 5-6 years there with Tiger Force and the Ranger companies. What a hell of a man to be teaching me how to stay alive! We also had many Senior NCO's that were in MACv-SOG I was truly blessed to be trained by those men and serve beside them!
Why would you brag about having a NCO that was Tiger Force? They beheaded infants, raped women, tortured & slaughtered civilians, made necklaces out of ears. Nothing but lowlife barbarians, scum of the earth
Six Silent Men, I own those books. Never was a Ranger, but as a Light Infantry guy, I always loved reading the lessons and applying them. Good stuff is good stuff and these guys are the real deal.
Tiger the Lurp dog was the first LRRP book that I read. I read at least 40 of those books, including Six Silent Men, and others from Gary Linderer and others. I also read all the Mobile Guerilla Force and MACVSOG books. It's pretty much what caused me to join the Army. I was already making plans to meet with an Army Recruiter, spoke with on the phone. We made an appointment for 1400hrs on Tuesday, September 11th 2001.
I've read these books so many times the bindings have given up....amazing stories about amazing men. Reading about their exploits have helped me develop as a platoon sgt. In SLC, I did my narrative report over the incident of 20 November.....the instructors were amazed. God bless the LRRPS and the pilots who took them in and came for them when the call went out.
Thank you guys for all the multiple hour interviews. The sound is in point too. I listen to the interviews while at work and your channel is a must. One of the most underrated channels. Keep up the awesome work
Bless you Kenn Miller. You may not know it, but there are many people out here who love & respect you. With reverence I have read your books & read your teammate's books who wrote about you & clearly thought very highly of you. Welcome home sir, thank you.
My dad was Recon 15th Cav, WWII Purple Heart, bronze star recipient responsible for the capture of 400 Nazi’s in Brest France. The 15th Cav got so destroyed that they put the few guys that were left into the 17th Cav. My dad was 100% disabled. Did over a year in hospital.
We were warned of what the guest spoke about in the beginning; Breakdown of communities > households. We (Americans) don't have community anymore. We hardly know or speak to our neighbors. We barely have dual parent households, and almost zero clue to any sort of culture or ancestry we came from. But community is what we really really need right now.
Excellent interview, letting the man talk is really how it's done well. Really grateful for guys like ken who push through and find a voice and tell a story so we can learn. God bless you, thank you.
I’ve had the pleasure of watching quite a few of your interviews which I thoroughly enjoyed but I have to say that this interview with Kenn is hands my favorite. Thank you for doing the interviews with the older veterans. Their stories need to be recorded for history.
My uncle was in the 101st Airborne in Vietnam. I believe he was in the Ranger/LRRP units as well since I've seen patches for both in his collection. His name is Joe Hulsey.
Kenn Miller! Holy shit . Loved his books and collaboration with the other LRRPs Would love you to interview Allen “Lurch” Cornett who served with Kenn . His book was called “Gone Native” keep it up these interviews are great .
What a thrill to hear straight from a warrior like Kenn Miller. Mr. Miller sir, I've read books 1.2 and3 of 6 silent men, several books from Larry Chambers and Gary Linderer. As well as others. I believe from what I've read from more than 1 of those authors is that the soldier you switched with , Terry Clifton, was best friends with Mr. Linderer and requested the trade also. I believe Mr. Linderer feels guilty as you do. I'm sorry you both have to carry that burden but I don't believe Mr, Clifton had to be ordered to join Contreros' team. As much as a mother the battle for Hue was with the door to door fighting, I think jumping off a huey with 5 other guys in the enemies back yard takes a special kind of warrior. Bless you and thank you for enlightening us.
My Grandfather is Virgil "puke" Palk he was in the book 6 silent men I still have the 1967 Diplomat warrior weekly newspaper article for the 101st that tells that story ❤ To all the vietnam veterans here thank You for your service!
At the end where he’s trying to get to “the Christian Las Vegas” was kinda heartbreaking actually. After my separation I worked at a nursing home, its honestly a shame we didn’t get these guys 5 years sooner...
Great interview, appreciate Kenn's perspective, history, and continued dedication. It's important that we can listen to our veterans. These interviews are rich, keep it going Jack.
Kenn, my uncle was Nick Cabrera who served along side you in LLRP. My son finally got Nick's name added to the Ft. Bragg memorial for soldiers killed in training, I still have Nick's letters he wrote to my dad that will go to my son. Great book, great stories. My Dad wrote all three authors when the books were released and yours was the only response he received back. My late dad cherished that letter and the photo you included with it.
Love these stories guys!!! Keep em co in!!!! My uncle was supposed to have been a LRRP. He was my moms brother, I'm not sure if she told me me or my dad did. He went in because he was facing jailtime, lol. But he was an combat engineer.i wish I could have served and envy you all!!!! Thank you all!!
I have great respect for these guys. They are about the most brave and crazy people there are. I've read about what they do and how they do it. They have a screw loose which I love great respect
If any of the viewers are interested in learning more about the Vietnam vets read some of the articles and paperbacks written by former LRRPS who served in Vietnam....authors such as Gary Linderer, Kenn Jorgenson, John Burford, Larry Chamers and Kenn. I guarantee that if you read this stuff you will want to learn more and more. These men went on missions using 5, 7, and 10 man teams often not knowing whether or not Charlie knew that they were coming or not. These soldiers were highly trained and proficient in their work and sometimes came across situations where they were outnumbered but outfought and outsmarted the enemy........most times.
Dad was early enough through ranger school to have and wear a British army tanker beret with pinned on Crest, but his class was never tabbed, he said it was a infantry officer finishing school at the time in the 1970s, he down plays that a lot.
Wow what an interview ! The infamous Kenn Miller ! I've read Six Silent Men anlong with , Eyes of the Eagle , Wings of the Eagle , a load of the LRP books by Gary Linderer and the others ! Really enjoyed that 👍
Love hearing about LRRP's. Have all of the LRRP books. I salute you all, i can only imagine the fear being in contact stuck in the boonies with just your buddies and wits to survive. To all who fought the good fight with honor high five. To all those dope smoking hippies who put shit on returning vets shame on you
I wonder if Mr. Miller had contact with my uncle Gary Olson who was 75th Ranger 199th LRRP -LRP-PRU's B&D companies. He served from 65-66; 67-68; 69-70.
He probably didn't because Ken Miller's LRRP, Rangers belonged to the 101st airborne division and was the divisions Long Range Reconnaissance patrols which strictly operated in the northern areas of Vietnam especially along the Cambodian border. The 75th Rangers in Vietnam operated in II corps mostly the central highlands of Vietnam just south of where Miller operated. The 75th operated LRRP teams throughout II Corp and if I'm not mistaken operated directly for Army intelligence. I had an uncle that was with the 75th transferring from the 173rd airborne I bet my uncle knew him. He served with the 75th from '67-'69. Unfortunately I cannot ask because he passed away in 1993 from cancer he developed from defoliant chemicals AKA agent orange. he retired as a Command Sergeant Major and was a Sergeant Major with the 75th being the Regiments senior NCO. He's interred at Arlington National Cemetery and his name was Russell Raymond Kean.
Reilly Cox was hit by a Chinese claymore set up in a tree so were others. He was tough as nails fighting sitting up against a tree holding his intestines in.
09:00 ... ... 09:10 ... Worked With LRRP Platoon and moved right Over 09:30 ... Provisional ( In 83 the 1/4 Cav Fired Up A LRRP Platoon. Big Red One Fort Riley. ) ... 10:00 ... ... 12:20 ... LRRP is? ...
I thought there were no more LRRPs in the 80s. I understand each divisions reconnaissance capabilities were designated as LRSD teams which stood for Long Range Surveillance Detachment.
Kenn is quite likely one of the most highly literate Lurps to have come out of the war, a true and literal warrior/scholar, not to mention a damn good guy.
I remember reading a book about Hue an the VC went in there first and killed all the educated people....I have been there War is hell... love these stories...

The 75th operated LRRP teams throughout II Corp and if I'm not mistaken operated directly for Army intelligence. I had an uncle that was with the 75th transferring from the 173rd airborne I bet my uncle knew him. He served with the 75th from '67-'69. Unfortunately I cannot ask because he passed away in 1993 from cancer he developed from defoliant chemicals AKA agent orange. he retired as a Command Sergeant Major and was a Sergeant Major with the 75th being the Regiments senior NCO. He's interred at Arlington National Cemetery and his name was Russell Raymond Kean.
Great interview former
Reilly Cox was hit by a Chinese claymore set up in a tree so were others. He was tough as nails fighting sitting up against a tree holding his intestines in.

I thought there were no more LRRPs in the 80s. I understand each divisions reconnaissance capabilities were designated as LRSD teams which stood for Long Range Surveillance Detachment.
What a humble man. 🙏🏻
Kenn is quite likely one of the most highly literate Lurps to have come out of the war, a true and literal warrior/scholar, not to mention a damn good guy.
The best memories are made at the cabin .
🏴 cheers 🇺🇸
I think I remember reading about Ken in Gary Linderer's books.
Good interview.. I don't think I will ever respect / like or anything less then detest, the Mujh. It is interesting to hear his point of view.
Great listen !
