Jerry Shriver I would say through out his time with Project Omega and MACV-SOG, did not entirely served with the Hatchet Force (or Reaction/Exploitation Force since that was what they called the Hatchet Force in that particular C&C detachment, FOB 5 Ban Me Thout, Command & Control South). He served on recon teams with Omega and sometime when it was absorbed into SOG from 1966 to late 1968 if I recall before getting reassigned to a Hatchet Force Company. Secret Green Beret Commandos in Cambodia by LTC (Ret.) Fred S. Lindsey covers a lot of Shriver's missions, Project Omega and Sigma, and FOB 5. There's also a book about Shriver coming out in the future.
I remember when a neighbor came back home after being a Prisoner of War. I back then in the 4th grade felt uneasy with I saw him the first time. He was so thin. It scared me.

@@hatecarrot2219 Grand Torino, grest movie, and Yes all the asian actors in this movie is Hmong, the main bad guy in the movie is a old friend of mine, his name is Sunny Vue from St. Paul Minnesota & the Sister of the boy... she also had a small roll in Batman vs Superman (the scene where Batman walks into the house and the prostitutes that was locked up in that cage, she was the one who spoke saying.. tu dag nyob thaw in my language - meant Batman is right there). The movie is fairly accurate to an certain extent out my heritage.
Well it looks like someone finally collected the bounty on Mad Dogs head. I always suspect the sabotage because two of the helicopters had to turn back. I still find it strange that they never found his remains or any new information about him. After 50 years nobody has come forward about what really happened to him is strange. Even former NVA soldiers have come forward on such matters. Mad Dog was a special case and I they wanted plenty of pay back on him. I refuse to believe that all POW returned. I bet many are still being held captive or given a deal that they must not try to return home. I wouldn’t be surprised if the government is given secret pensions to POW that are still on the wall.
I still believe Mad Dog was set up, two helicopters had to turn back cause of mechanical reasons? Sounds to me like he was despised by many, that’s why he didn’t sleep in their barracks. He stayed with the natives cause they were not going to let anything happen to him while he sleeps. I’m just not buying parts of this story. He made his own missions and it sounds like his superiors couldn’t control him and his actions. A lone wolf carrying out his own missions and not even an officer. Someone with authority had a soft heart for Mad Dog to make him a honorary Master Sgt. probably so his widow could collect a better pension. I wonder what happened to his family? Nobody talks about his wife and kids? I’m sure they moved on in life just like others who lost a loved one in Vietnam. After all these years nobody from the United States government has even bothered to question where his remains are or his fate. With open door diplomatic relations you would think someone would try to find out. Why didn’t this guy get the Medal of Honor? I know he mainly worked alone with 5 natives and in order to get such a medal an officer has to be present to witness it. I highly suspect that our government didn’t want this guy back in the world risking that he would talk about it.
So,instead of anti-war war movies,why not make a movie about this fella(?),the ending would be great. politics aside,this man was doing his job. G.Davis sr,crabby,old veteran

Since running into the tree line in Vietnam, never to be seen again, his image was etched into my mind, clear to this day.
Hero. No other word comes close.
Shriver was a living legend within SOG...most everybody had heard of him

Im blessed to be first generation Hmong-American. My People fought side-by-side with the Americans during the War and today we are still fighting side-by-side with the Americans as we are in every branch of our Military 🪖
Thank You
Question, did the Hmong people feel let down, betrayed by the US the way the war ended, not being evacuated? Thanks
@@paulpetrovich8779 some of us made it out of Laos, some of us were left behind, and some of us are still hiding today. I cant speak for all but, No

Is there a version of this without the overriding background music?

Fear is difficult to measure but this could have just as well been some Vietnamese man
