"We Sent Warriors, Not Men" — The Raid That Left US Troops Speechless

Описание: May 1968, Firebase Coral. A US Army lieutenant watches six Australian SASR operators strip their gear down to bare essentials for a mission into the Suoi Chau Pha valley—territory so dangerous even American Special Forces refused to enter. "Six men against a regiment? That's suicide." The Australian sergeant's response would haunt him: "You Americans send soldiers. We send warriors. There's a difference." Seventy-two hours later, those six warriors returned with intelligence so detailed it prevented a major NVA offensive and saved hundreds of Allied lives. Zero Australian casualties. The enemy never knew they were there.
This is the declassified story of Australian SASR operations that achieved what American forces deemed impossible—conducting reconnaissance deep in enemy territory, raiding command posts in hostile villages, and operating for weeks behind enemy lines with kill ratios exceeding 100:1.
