great thread. very interesting pics.
Vietnam war threads in here are top notch material right there.
I think that's who Chuck decided to emulate when he wanted to look like a BAMF in Missing in Action and The Delta Force movies.

Guys i dont wanna be the dumb-ass *** but what;s MACV-SOG? ^^
Military Advisory Command, Vietnam - Special Operations Group.
Thank you.
Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) was a highly classified, multi-service United States special operations unit which conducted covert unconventional warfare operations prior to and during the Vietnam War.Established on 24 January 1964, the unit conducted strategic reconnaissance missions in Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), Laos, and Cambodia; carried out the capture of enemy prisoners, rescued downed pilots, and conducted rescue operations to retrieve prisoners of war throughout Southeast Asia; and conducted clandestine agent team activities and psychological operations.The unit participated in most of the significant campaigns of the Vietnam War, including the Gulf of Tonkin incident which precipitated American involvement, Operation Steel Tiger, Operation Tiger Hound, the Tet Offensive, Operation Commando Hunt, the Cambodian Campaign, Operation Lam Son 719, and the Easter Offensive. The unit was formally disbanded and replaced by the Strategic Technical Directorate Assistance Team 158 on 1 May 1972.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militar...rvations_Group
I stand corrected. Thanks Ravage.
They used Special before changing it to Studies.
