      @@Pazuzu4219 kind of strange you added the drug addicted in there....you could have just said thugs... not like everybody that's addicted to drugs are bad LOL you probably haven't met very many people that have ever had any kind of issue with using drugs, I'm pretty sure you haven't especially saying things like that.... somebody can do drugs and be one of the best people you ever met in your whole life.. they just got a habbit.. you might know some people today that are just as nice as you could imagine but they pop pills when you don't see them, you might have talked about drug addicts to them at one point about how awful they are LOL but maybe I took you wrong but I have a feeling.... I doubt it because you had to add in there drug "addicted" thugs not just thugs ....thugs are trashy because they harm people and they have ignorant ways about them.. it's not good to be hooked on drugs but at the same time you can be on drugs but be a decent individual just as decent As You Are... may be people out there better than me and you that are on drugs I'm not ignorant enough to say that just because I may not be on some drug that that makes me better than somebody that is ......you know? I guarantee you there's something in life unless I'm wrong and I doubt it but there's something in your life that if it was gone tomorrow you would have some massive issues adjusting that would make you addicted to whatever that is caffeine, relationships, emotion, individuals you can be addicted to a lot of things but it doesn't make you a bad person if that's the way you think you definitely need to get out and study a little bit more then you have , it doesn't matter if you knew one person or two people that were drug addicts and they were awful it doesn't mean that that's exactly how the millions of drug addicts in the world are LOL come on now... that's like saying if one black person steals that means all black people steal surely you don't think that way do you? I would definitely hope not. Everybody that does one day including yourself whether you believe this or not and me of course they and we both are going to stand in front of Jesus Christ who is God and it's not going to be like there's going to be one line of just drug addicts and then somebody like you know you're going to be in the same category as drug addicts Killers murderers rapists everything the Bible says even Liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire so it's not like you have any good sins compared to someone else's Sin is Sin some is worse some not as bad but both of them send you to the same place I like to forgive people and understand that I don't know everything and I'm not the great judge of the world that would be Jesus. One more thing these people like this guy I don't know his personal life so I couldn't say that this is a guy I would want my kids to look up to I would have to know how he's been living his life since then I don't want my kids to look up to a person because they did something great one time in their life I want them to look at somebody that has sustained a life with good morals doing the right thing for a long period of time consistently that's the first thing I'm going to look at but anyway I don't know it's just aggravating when I hear that there's a lot in that statement you just made and I find it offensive I understand what you're saying but at the same time you just disrespected millions of people when you added that drug addicted in there because being addicted to drugs does not make you bad but being a thug does make you bad so those are two completely different things you mix together but you can have a drug addicted Thug but I'm just saying definitely wasn't necessary but you can say whatever you want to and I can too with love.

    Lady Trimble seems like a genuinely nice guy. I’m glad that these SOG veterans are being interviewed and having their stories recorded for posterity before it’s too late. Many of these guys performed feats worthy of the Medal of Honor but never were recognized for their bravery due to the clandestine nature of their assignments. Larry Trimble also has a great interview on Jocko Podcast where he goes into more detail about the sapper attack on marble mountain.

The SAS were transferred to Vietnam by air, and on arrival had to discard their British uniforms and wear US. After they were done in the war they were transferred to a German castle for "debrief and detoning".
