[airhoppz]

Oh and as a correction - he was a Company Commander not a Platoon Leader!

Is there any more footage of him or his company at your website?

[airhoppz]

car15!sarges and above only

[MrTambopaxi]

Video title is mistaken; the guy being interviewed is a Company Commander. He simply commented (looking back on his '67 experiences) that being a Platoon Leader (LT) was more fun...

[m1garand123]

@MrTambopaxi hes 1st tour was in 66 not 67

[vietvet11]

I was with 1/21st B co. Wolfhounds 1967-68 Viet Nam. I am an Agent Orange victim. (Blue Rock)

I like your video and hope to see more of Nam.

Take care

[ChrominImpala]

Great video! America's Heroes!

[libdash]

what hasn't changed...the smoke nades...and them flare things..what was their name? No more laws!

[weswg]

I served in the 25TH ID FROM 2000-2003. Seemed to have a lot of Ranger influence.

[gruntsnpr]

lol same thing from 02-05... none the less great division and hooked me up with a ton of schools

[marc7898]

@weswg A ton of ranger influence yeah, if you didn't want to be a ranger before and your next duty station was with the 25th you def would have more of a drive to do it,

[nightfrog65]

Thanks for your service in Vietnam...

[ratrare]

Thank you Captain....RVN 1969

[jonnyboy87392]

this is a great vid. I love how they don't have piles of shit to wear like we do today. Cacti! Broncos! Tropic Lightning!

[bob1lurati]

I have Tropic lightning's insignia patch, I'm trying to collect all the infantry units that were big in 'Nam.

[vietnamwarlhg]

Awsome vid

[ortiz118]

my father did a tour with 25th, i think about that time, can anyone out there help? thanks.

[Kunia5]

This was probably filmed during the 25th's assignment in the "Parrot's Beak" by the Cambodian border.

Tropic Lightning rocked in VN, and today in Iraq.

[jurgenmanfred]

a clean grunt is a happy grunt

[assaultman45]

I love seeing them with the M16 Commando, it's so awesome!

[geraldmaddock]

@assaultman45 - The M-16 Commando sucked.......

[facejerk]

I would like to find out where this footage had come from and if i could find more. A friend of mine was there right about that time. In fact, he described a battle they were in that took place about 2 months after the date of this video. give me a holler if anyone can help. thanks

[geraldmaddock]

@facejerk ....This was Capt Frank Smith, he was CO of Bravo Co 2'27 Wolfhounds from about the first of Sept '69 thru about the end of Feb '70. They were at Sugar Mill, Phuoc Luu village, PB Kotrc, PB Harris, FSB Jackson and PB Shamrock in that time frame. These were all in the area around and along the Van Co Dong River south and west of Trang Bang toward the Cambodian border. I was with Bravo Co from Oct '68 -Oct '69.

[snooch1975]

@geraldmaddock i was with the 65th en attatched to the wolf 2/27 wolfohounds in iraq damn good outfit

[geraldmaddock]

@snooch1975 Best damned grunt outfit in the US Army - Bar none - No Fear On Earth. I carried demo for my company my last six months in-country even though I was a grunt (11Bravo).. We had trouble getting a caslteman more than maybe one day a week, so I took a short course in demo in Cu Chi. My fellow platoon members nicknamed me "The Dynamic Demo Man". Proud to have been a Wolfhound.
