It’s fun that since Prairie Fire released, that I know these dudes nicknames just by seeing em now. God bless em all. Thanks for what you all did for us while in Vietnam. -19K KBD

How this popped up on my feed, I'll never know. I recently lost (what I consider a mentor, was really one of my grandfather's best friends from church that we went camping with every single summer for like 20 years) a Vietnam veteran friend. Purple heart, did 3 tours... was the most interesting person especially being camping when your 8 (that was the first year I went). He taught me how to count my steps when climbing a 3800ft mountain to track distance and build fires. Simple dumb stuff, but all things I carry with me to this day. R.I.P. don

Hey I wanted to say thank you for these stories. I listen to all of them. I think others do as well. Greetings from Willmar Minnesota.

Love these guys.

The other great thing about the creation of Prairie Fire is you guys bringing these guys together to just sit down and talk. I hd only heard of And seen interviews with Tilt before this game came out. His stories are great, and he is a bad ass, but there’s plenty of others with great stories to tell that most of us wouldnt get a chance to hear about otherwise. Thanks

Thank you for bringing nick to the panel. This is so great.

Real deal warriors ! Thank you !

just stumbled across this. super excited to hear all these legends 🙌 have all of nick and john's book on my audible, on rinse and repeat.

Great material, I can't wait for more :D

Amazing. Love these sog guys

What a collection of alpha badasses. Thank you gentlemen.

Imagine leaving the line during Khe Sahn at night to assault the NVA trenchline. The lost patrol story gives me chills

cant get enough of the stories these guys bless us with. bet nobody would have gotten that halftrack if someone had popped a track loose when it wasnt being used. or taken the front wheels off.

All of these guys are obviously something else, but man is Nick just so fucking *funny* on top of it lmfao but man it's cool to hear them all talk amongst each other here, really awesome stuff to be privy to!

Love these guys

Yeaaaa!

WOW!

Wow

HELP ME UNDERSTAND. I'm Markus a gulf war vet. My Father is Sylvester Bracey Sr Marine Recon Vietnam 67-68 68-69. Timeline Pops was in danang Marine attack. Pops was at con thien fall 67. Hell. Dec in the hills guarding khe sanh. Hill 881 861. Pops was on the recon Patrol that made contact to start khe sanh Battle. Jan 19 68. Pops said they were Everywhere half way up the hill and we didn't know it. They attacked the hill full force n khe sanh. Ammo dump blew up 1st 12 days of hill fight until we bombed ourselves. Then 77 days khe sanh. 84 days straight fighting. Then Dong ha Dai do. Apr 29 68 to May 1st. 3 DAYS OF HELL POPS SAID WORST BATTLE OF THE WAR BUNKER TO BUNKER. Goes home sees Racism in chgo streets Says send me back to Nam bfo I kill someone in chgo. Back in Vietnam 2 ND tour Ashau valley walking dead. Pops is in 3rd div 2nd batt 9th Marine Recon. Pops said we went in 1st made contact send the Army airborne in for the fight. Pops said they almost got Wiped out by the enemy. We had to come back throw a flank attack to save they ass. Pops got caught on another recon mission by Laos border. I said WHAT? Yes Pops recon team was caught at gun point. They let Pops go saying Brotherman this isn't your war GO HOME. As Pops walked w no weaponthey killed his Recon team. Pops went R n R for few weeks. After being caught Pops did not want to do recon in S Vietnam any more. Pops told Marines find me something else to do. Higher ups came back and said I have a special operation for you No more recon in South VIETNAM but you can't talk for 20 years about what you see or do in this operation and you have to sign a contract? Pops said What's up?. They said no more recon in S Vietnam JUST TELL US WHAT YOU SEE. Pops signed and joined a secret group he called SPECIAL OBSERVERS. Pops said they tricked me they knew I didn't want to do recon in S Vietnam so now they got me doing recon in Laos w tribal troops. They told us if we ever got caught or totally surrounded just call in airstrikes on OURSELVES. This ain't the Marines. Marines come back even for the bodies. It's too late he signed. Pops said The NVA was coming down the ho chi Minh trail like the Dan Ryan expressway. Troops n mo troops. Artillery pieces. Trucks all flowing down the trail as Pops watched from a distance doing recon in Laos. Pops said they want you to do a prisoner grab or call in airstrikes when you see em. The thing about that is when you call airstrikes they know YOU THERE. Pops said I only looked and told them what we saw. No airstrikes as little contact as possible if u make contact killem quick keep the noise down..Marrrk you got to remember they're is no US bases in Laos maybe Cia but no troops just the recon team and making it back to the landing zone hoping it's not hot. Another mission Pops was right up on the ho chi Minh trail hidden. Pops said Chinese troops came down the trail in Mass. I said what China got to do w this? Pops said I know they was Chinese they were tall like us with brand new uniforms on. I don't know why they were there AINT I WASNT BOUT TO FIND OUT. My Point a Dog Team member told me stop saying my dad was SOG. YOU TELL ME. He went AWOL on this group 6 months in the jungle records got lost gets no LAOS CREDIT ONLY 1ST YEAR MARINE CREDIT Jim Thompson says he remembers Pops fr walking dead 9th recon. Pops was caught again by Enemy while AWOL on the Dmz. Pops did make it back home. Rip Dec ,7. 2019. My profile pic. WAS POPS IN SOG IF NOT WHY SIGN CONTRACT AND DOING RECON ON HO CHI MINGH TRAIL IN LAOS HELP A VET UNDERSTAND?

How sad. There are so many really great recon men from SOG who rarely appear on these podcasts. Anderson, Bargewell, Bircham, Howard, Plato, Wright, Chapman and Edington to name a few.
