MAD DOG: The Legend and Truth of Jerry Shriver
Via comment by Anonymous on Symposium on the Green Berets and the Montagnards
“It's that ambush-like reception despite a B-52 strike that opens the disturbing possibility of treachery and, it turns out, it was more than a mere possibility. One year after the COSVN raid, the NSA twice intercepted enemy messages warning of imminent SOG operations which could only have come from a mole or moles in SOG headquarters. It would only be long after the war that it became clear Hanoi s Trinh Sat had penetrated SOG, inserting at least one high ranking South Vietnamese officer in SOG whose treachery killed untold Americans, including, most likely, the COSVN raiders.
I wonder what was being said by Mad Dog on the radio after his death or capture.
No one has ever said so I guess it is 'classified.'
One article stated the attack by the VC was an ambush and the enemy was very prepared.
They walked right into a trap.”
If you read much fiction about Vietnam, or even watch movies about it, chances are you’ll frequently bump into a character who has become a stereotype of the subgenre. This stereotype was rarely, if ever, seen in film or fiction before Vietnam.
