Скачать или смотреть Vietnam Vet Debunks MACV-SOG’s Biggest Myth

By 1968 many of the men who fought the secret war in Laos believed their missions across the fence were compromised. Specifically, they believed that the enemy knew in advance when and where their recon teams were going to be inserted. Most blamed spies in MACV-SOG’s headquarters in Saigon. Many of SOG’s survivors believe it to this day. Up until a couple of months ago I could be counted in that group. When I was researching the video “Viet Cong Account of the August 23, 1968 Attack on MACV-SOG.” I starting reading Vietnamese documents about their battles with Americans on the Ho Chi Minh Trail and quickly realized that our belief was not only untrue but impossible. But the fact remained that by the end of 1968 our recon teams were consistently making contact with the enemy on or shortly after insertion. Debunking a myth is only half the job. Explaining what actually happened is the other half. Enjoy the video.
