Шеврон это фигня..... вот почитать/послушать в какие они попадали ситуации, это действительно обосраться. Реально фильмы с Чаком Норрисом не дотягивают....
 
«Мы открыли ураганный огонь. Стреляли все и каждый. Я истратил первый магазин за несколько секунд, затем зарядил второй и продолжил стрелять. Я ничего не чувствовал, ни восторга, ни ужаса, только холодное терпкое спокойствие.

Я потратил пять магазинов, прежде чем остановиться. Потом все прекратили огонь, и я крикнул: «Джонни, давай проверим их».

Мы встали и двинулись по тропе. Тела лежали слева, справа, на дороге, повсюду. Я стрелял в землю рядом с каждым из них, чтобы посмотреть, кто еще живой. Никто.

Когда мы подошли к последнему, он неожиданно приподнялся, раскинув руки и широко раскрыв глаза. Я сказал: «Хорошо, у нас есть пленный…».

Джонни тут же прошил его прямо в грудь своим AR-15. Тот даже не успел дернуться. Я возмутился: «Мы могли получить полезную информацию от этого парня». «Извини», - сказал Джонни. «Я ахуенно взволнован».

Майор Джим Моррис, 5-я группа спецназа (США), Вьетнам.

И история

This is an account of one of the members of that company named George R. Bassett:

My company, B, 2/502, was conducting combat operations in the Michelin Rubber Plantation at Ben Cat, V.N. in Dec 1965. The plantation stretched for miles and had been neglected, waist high brush had grown threw out the plantation. This area was known to be a VC haven and they were there in large numbers. Shortly before being deployed to the plantation, our battalion Cmdr. Col. Hank "GUNFIGHTER' Emerson, had ordered, out of his own pocket, hatchets from the United Stated. When they arrived at our battalion, Col. Emerson let us know that we were all going to have to pay him $3.00 for a hatchet and that we had no choice in the matter. He also informed us that the first trooper's squad to kill a VC with a hatchet would be rewarded with a case of liquor. We were now to be known as the "Hatchet Men" and our patrols would be known as "Hatchet Teams" and our company sign was changed to show two crossed hatchets. We didn't want the hatchets, as we had no use for them and we had enough to carry on our backs without another three pounds, but we had no choice in the matter. When the hatchets arrived, and were passed out to us, the handles were white, and we were instructed to paint them black, so they would not stand out in the bush. I was in charge of the detail for my platoon to paint the handles black and have supplied a photo showing them drying after being painted. With our new hatchets, we were deployed to the Michelin rubber plantation. Our three company platoons were traveling in file on a narrow plantation road, 3rd platoon on point, 1st platoon following and 2nd platoon last. Suddenly gunfire erupted from in front of us, 3rd platoon. on point, had been ambushed. Word was quickly passed to us, 1st platoon to go forward and engage the enemy and assist 3rd platoon which we did. The gunfight lasted about an hour with the VC withdrawing, leaving behind some dead and wounded. We were dispersed in the brush along the road side and one of the 3rd platoon troopers, who I shall not name, came across a wounded VC and with the assistance of some others managed to hold him down and he then proceeded to whack his head off with his new hatchet. The trooper proceeded to the road, very proud of his trophy and held it above his head as proof that he had killed the first VC with a hatchet and that his squad would claim the case of liquor that "GUNFIGHTER" Emerson had promised. A reporter from Life magazine was attached to us at the time and he took a picture of the trooper displaying the head, I believe that his name was Malcolm Brown. Shortly thereafter the picture appeared on the cover of the Dec. 65 issue of Life Magazine in the U.S. Word very quickly came down to get rid of the hatchets and anyone caught with one would be brought up on charges of "Brutality” Needless to say, "Gunfighter" did not refund us our three dollars each for the hatchets that he had forced us to buy from him. The trooper that had taken the head was later KIA. Our Co. commander was Cpt. Thomas Taylor, son of Gen. Maxwell Taylor.

LT Norris was one of only 3 SEAL officers remaining in Vietnam in 1972 when the infamous rescue operation to recover Bat 21 (LTC Iceal Hambleton) began. After air rescue not only failed to recover Hambleton, but also led to several other aircraft being lost and their pilots either killed or awaiting rescue, Norris was tasked with extracting them via conducting a small unit rescue operation. Norris first led a small group of S. Vietnamese Sea Commandos to recover the first of several pilots, but in doing so went deeper behind enemy lines than the mission planning had allowed for. Following this, the other Sea Commandos refused to accompany LT Norris on his next mission to rescue LTC Hambleton, with the exception of Petty Officer Nguyen Van Kiet (pictured). Together, the 2-man team canoed up-river in disguise and successfully extracted Bat 21, despite coming under enemy fire.

Despite his heroism, LT Norris refused to submit the recommended paper work to receive the Medal of Honor for his actions, stating he had only been doing his job.

6 months after the rescue of Bat 21, Norris and fellow Navy SEAL Michael Thornton accompanied S. Vietnamese special forces on an intelligence gathering operation, but inadvertently landed 5 miles inside North Vietnam. They were discovered and engaged in a protracted firefight with 100+ enemy soldiers, only surviving likely due to US warships providing gunfire support offshore.Lt. Norris was shot in the head and presumed dead by his Vietnamese colleagues, but upon hearing this, Thornton returned under enemy fire to recover his body, and realized he was still alive. Dragging both Norris and a wounded S. Vietnamese soldier into the water, he kept both of them afloat while swimming himself for two hours until they were rescued.As a result of the injuries, Lt. Norris lost an eye and part of his skull, resulting in a medical discharge from the Navy.

During after-action reviews of the Bat 21 operation, officers identified Norris' bravery and, after receiving testimonies from others present about his courage, submitted paper work without his knowledge for him to receive the Medal of Honor, which was approved. Michael Thornton had also been approved for the Medal of Honor for his actions in saving Norris' life. They were both present for each other's medal presentations.

Norris applied in 1979 to join the FBI, but his injuries disqualified him, so he wrote asking for a medical waiver. The Director authorized it provided he could pass the same physical and mental standards of other applicants, which he did. When the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team was created in 1983 as the nation's premier domestic counter-terrorism unit (in the same league as the US Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta [aka Delta Force] and the US Navy's Naval Special Warfare Development Group [aka SEAL Team Six]), Norris was a founding member and one of the fist assault team leaders of the unit.
