“They Marked the Trail With Bodies” — Why US Rangers Refused to Track With Australian SAS

Описание: Why did U.S. Rangers quietly refuse to track alongside Australian SAS patrols during the Vietnam War? This video explores one of the most unsettling truths of jungle warfare — a method so effective, so psychologically devastating, that even elite American units chose not to follow it.
Drawing from declassified reports, veteran testimony, and historical analysis, we examine how Australian SAS tracking fundamentally reshaped the battlefield, why Viet Cong units feared it more than air strikes or artillery, and how this approach crossed invisible lines American Rangers were unwilling to cross. This isn’t Hollywood. This isn’t myth. It’s the uncomfortable space where effectiveness, ethics, and human cost collide.
