This is a long video interview about the special forces in Laos. They did not wear dog tags on their spike team missions.. They were bold young and stupid like many of us who did stuff in Laos when Americans were supposedly not in Laos or Cambodia, all for the flag and Mom's apple pie. If someone wanted me to go with no dog tags again I think I would pass in today's world...Sometimes age does make you wiser.

It was only 25 years after the end of World War II and the USA was still flush with self-confidence. The Zeitgeist was far different than today.

My husband watched both videos yesterday in to the night.
He said it was hard to watch. "Yes, we were Young and Believed and I still see their Faces".
That was his second tour then he was recruited for the Agency when he returned home.
Mr. G talked to his friends in his sleep again last night.
