About this listen
They fought a war without rules, and taught the enemy the legend of the Green Beret. No fighting men in the world were a match for the U.S. Army Special Forces, the men of the Green Beret. But in the chaos of Vietnam, where enemies, allies, friends, and traitors all shared a landscape of terror, the Green Berets had to develop their own tactics and draw closer to the only people they could trust: each other.
Don Bendell looks back at life and death at A-Team Camp 242, Dak Pek. From clandestine missions alongside the fierce and proud Montagnard tribesman to wild rides in bullet-riddled Hueys, Bendell tells of firefights, LRRP missions, dust-offs, air strikes, prisoner interrogations, and acts of courage. Most of all, Bendell captures the spirit of the men who were there.

This kept the stories joined and gave it a strange way of letting me see an image like it was my own memory.
It really did make it interesting bringing into it the native American people and the urge to be a warrior like them. That also gave me a sense of understanding for the Montagnards and respect for them also. So much so, that I am researching their situation in this current time of August 2025.
Being a soldier who was taught and trained by our Nations Vietnam Veterans, who had not left the Army, growing up and watching it all unfold on TV, a father and cousin who were involved and now going through rehabilitation treatment with a dozen or more who are still very physically active, just let's me absorb the stories as a fact of life. When I listen to stories about my theater of operations, I have mixed emotions... Some good while others are just plain over the top and sound like BS. Strange, but I thought it was worth mentioning. These books, though stated in the first as fictional just don't feel like it, I won't say other than what I have said before. From training to combat, it all rings true to my own experiences, even the training mishaps. I think readers or listeners will enjoy these stories no matter what I think they may be, because of the content, presentation and narrator. A fine set if ever I have heard, and I listen to a lot. Actually I have yet to find one I can say I don't like it. Such was the untold stories of many brave men.
