Скачать или смотреть "We Are Not Friends" — The Truth About US vs Australian SAS Rivalry

While history books call them allies, the reality on the ground in Vietnam was very different. This video exposes the untold rivalry between the Australian SAS and US Special Forces (Navy SEALs, MACV-SOG). What started as a partnership quickly turned into a clash of tactics, egos, and discipline.

Discover why the "Phantoms of the Jungle" (Australian SAS) often refused to work with American troops, labeling them as "too loud" and "a liability." From refused helicopter extractions to tense standoffs at base camps, we uncover the incidents that proved these two elite units were definitely "not friends."

🔥 In this video:

The "Clash of Cultures": Why Australian patience hated American aggression.

The "Noise" Problem: How US gear and tactics sabotaged SAS stealth missions.

The Refusal: Real stories of SAS patrols walking away from US help.

The Verdict: Why the Viet Cong feared the Australians more than the Americans.
