This is a marvelous tale of an extraordinary hero of the Viet Nam war. At this time of multiple and daunting challenges for me, I was greatly inspired by it and therefore moved to share this story of MSG Raul Perez Benavides of Cuero, TX.

True American hero. Those SOG guys rewrote the book on what "bad butt" is, they came from all the different services and they were told to think outside the box, and there are no rules of engagement. There are a couple really good books on their exploits in both Vietnams. I think one of them was by Col. Ralph Peters, but not sure.
