This is our longest episode yet but I had to make it long in order to do this topic justice. Come with me to the jungles of South East Asia as we talk about the shadow soldiers of MACV-SOG! I hope you enjoy the show as we shed some light on some of America's most elite soldiers.
Here are some links to the pictures I said I would post during the episode:
