“After That Patrol, My Men Wouldn’t Sleep” — A Green Beret on Australian SAS

Описание: This episode dives into a Vietnam War story that rarely makes it into official histories. Through the eyes of a U.S. Green Beret, we examine what it was like to patrol alongside Australian SAS units—and why that experience left seasoned American operators shaken long after the mission ended. This isn’t a story about heroics or mythology. It’s about silence, patience, psychological pressure, and a style of jungle warfare that challenged how Americans understood combat, ethics, and effectiveness.

Using firsthand accounts, operational context, and careful historical grounding, this video explores how small-unit reconnaissance and hunter-style patrols reshaped entire areas without loud battles or headlines. It looks at what really happened on those joint patrols, why Australian methods produced such disproportionate results, and why some U.S. soldiers walked away unsettled rather than impressed. If you’re interested in LRRP teams, Green Berets, SAS operations, Viet Cong countermeasures, and the uncomfortable space between effectiveness and morality, this story is for you.
