The US LRRP didnt win the way. US lost the war with vietnam , no one talks about that.
IMO the sri lankan LRRP is kick ass. they defeated the most deadly and dangerous terrorist outfit the world has ever seen, the LTTE.
Also they had decades of real battle experience, which i think is more important than any training, and also mental toughness

Is that the real Larry Forrest aka Black Icicle? Wow! He's a legend.

Your friends grandpa also took it up the shitter. Why did you decide to leave that little bit of info out? Rolled.
While this documentary seems very accurate and well done, it is important to clarify that the first guy to speak, Robert Stack, is a fraud. He was not a LRRP as he claims and was removed from the 75th Ranger Regiment association. He has a history of impersonation including his claim to have been a K company 75th Inf Rangers.

You LRRPs had some serious courage. My dad was a LRRP in the 173rd Airborne Division ,74th inf. detachment and close friends with Staff Sergeant Laszlo Rabel, the only LRRP to recieve the Medal of Honor. I recently became very interested in what it was to be a LRRP. After reading many books i have gained a lot of respect for the discipline, courage and team loyalty practiced by all of the LRRPs. Lazlo Rebel is the perfect example of this. He sacrificed his life to save his team. Thanks LRRPs
