U.S. Marines Force Recon Vietnam

In this candid and first time interview with Sergeant George Alexander, U.S. Marine Corps, he tells it all!

Many people know that the U.S. Marines are one of the world's most elite fighting forces but few know the secret missions of Force Recon, the Marines most elite unit.

He tells what it was like to be a young Marine in the 1960s and describes in detail what a typical recon patrol was like in the steaming jungle of Vietnam and the experience of combat.
He tells of his experiences of being completely surrounded time after time by an overwhelming enemy force and having to fight his way out!
He talks about the critical moments in combat and the terrifying experience of war.
The use of artillery, fixed-wing aircraft and napalm or "crispy critters." He talks about the anti-war movement and the reasons for the war and explains why it was such an unpopular war.
He tells why the troops had no ticker-tape parade when they came home and what the lessons of Vietnam really are! And much more!
Electrifying says, "Fighting Spirit Magazine." A one of a kind video and a must for every war buff.
