RECOIL's Tom Marshall interviews covert operations legend Billy Waugh, who's career in special ops spans more than 50 years. Billy was a paratrooper in Korea, Special Forces operator with MACV-SOG in Vietnam, and CIA paramilitary operative for more than 30 years after. Along the way he personally hunted Muammar Gaddafi, Carlos The Jackal, and Osama Bin Laden.

If you ever get a chance to read Billy Waugh's book Hunting the Jackal, jump on it. It's a great read.
Ordered it just now, thank you Mr. Lane. Our Special Forces are amazing. My neighbor's getting very close to retirement, 18E, got into a couple ied's at different times, now he teaches. The only crew that can do what they do: Wreak havoc, kill and break, then FIX EVERYTHING, mend the fences, and create partners. God bless them.
ReplyDeleteI encourage you WC to post more readable war posts' rather than video.
ReplyDeleteA couple of weeks ago you posted a story of a writer that was part of the story of Viet Nam. I read it all and liked it. Video is ..well.. boring, and so slow.
