"They Are Not Soldiers, They Are Butchers" — Why The Americans Feared The Australian SAS

Описание: #VietnamWar #AustralianSAS #MilitaryHistory

"We're amateurs."

This was the two-word classified report filed by a US Marine Sergeant after witnessing the Australian SAS in action. Why? Because while American troops could be smelled from 300 meters away—reeking of Old Spice, tobacco, and soap—the Australians had become something else entirely.

This documentary exposes the terrifying efficiency of the Australian SAS in Vietnam, known to the Viet Cong as "Ma Rung" or "Phantoms of the Jungle." While the Pentagon relied on massive firepower and body counts, the Australians relied on silence, Aboriginal tracking skills, and a hygiene discipline so extreme that US officers filed complaints about their smell.

Discover the secrets of the Long Hai Mountains—a zone declared "off-limits" to the US Marines due to extreme danger, yet treated as a personal hunting ground by the SAS. From sawing off rifle barrels to wearing tire-rubber sandals, this is the story of how 800 men achieved a 50:1 kill ratio and terrified the enemy into submission.
