Minnesota-born Nick Brokhausen (pictured) was a member of the US Special Forces with a 17-year career that included combat tours in Vietnam with MACVSOG, a highly classified special operations unit.I have spent most of my life working in the Security and security related fields. I have done kidnap recoveries in Latin America, Africa and Middle Asia, and worked as a consultant to major resource developers and some governments, on issues ranging from training, to equipment purchases and the actual execution of operations.
"Being of average intelligence I feel grateful to my friends and associates over the years who have lent their expertise and networks to assist me in my endeavors. To that end I have pristine networks in both high and low places.
Be it the need for a drilling rig to some hinterland, to retrieving personnel from a war torn area under a crisis evacuation, networks are the key.'

@@budgibson185Lots of possible reasons for that and all understandable. Do you know if he found out what happened to Bong or any other Yards? The subject got changed when he was talking about the other Yard he found who got stuck in a camp; wasn't sure if you did that intentionally.

My dad was in Vietnam during tet. He patrolled near Phulam and in the delta and was in combat for days when tet started in cholon and phu to racetrack as well as around phulam. He said everyday he was inna some kinda firefight and someone got killed or wounded. Constant fire when they would be in a base from rockets and mortars the VC would pay kids to fire on the m when they were in the open on base and he said they got really good.

Im glad this whole SOG craze is allowing guys like Nick to make some money. If you want to learn more about the Rhodesian war, where terrain drove their tactics, check out Rhodesian war stories with John Van Zyl. Very similar to Vietnam .
