I was disappointed because no mention was made to advisors to the Vietnamese Rangers.

I saw but one 2 second clip of a LRRP/Ranger humping his load down a trail towards the very end when they were recounting all who went before. I'll need to re-watch this item to see what I missed by skipping forward.
Beau Billingslea was the narrator.

But those TFR were the modern Rangers of today. Did a dam good job.

I scanned through before downloading it for later full viewing. They do talk a little bit about the LRRPs about half way through.

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.

I saw what you said - it was a the: 24.35 for a minute. Thanks.

Jim's right there was no mention of BDQ.

I saw the BDQ & Merrill's Marauders Monuments in Arlington thanks to Jim who personally showed me.
