In this episode of Ray Mears' "Extreme Survival" you can see interviews with men who have done the real thing, hiding in the jungles of Vietnam & Laos from the Pathet Lao & NVA.

 Great terrain model! Here the ASR unit surrounds their well made terrain model (the dude even says so) and gives the operations order.  This is a random pic from the last SULE of the team around the terrain model and the team leader giving the operations order. Not bad huh? Also, in the Philippine jungle my money would be on any Philippine ground unit (Marines or Army). Home turf advantage. |

I don't know if any of you has read "Yellow Green Beret", but the author, former Green Beret captain who worked with the Philippine military, wasn't at all impressed. I'm not in the position to judge his statements, I'm just repeating what he said...
BTW, the book (3 volumes actually) is highly recommended. The author is Chines-American and his perspective is very interesting and oftentimes funny.

You've done it now Nick! All of our people here of Filipino decent are going to dog pile you! I'll run to the captain and complain that I'm being bullied  And "Yellow Green Beret" is still highly recommended. One of the best I read. If you think he's tough on the Philippine military, you should read what he thinks about Navy SEALs... |
