Marine Recon Patrols!

In this candid and first time interview with Sergeant George W. 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 Special Ops group Force Recon, the Marines most elite unit.

He describes in detail how Recon used Scout Dogs and what a typical recon patrol was like in the steaming jungles of Vietnam and the hellish 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 explains why this 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! A must for every war buff! 60 min.
