I was listening to the great music I grew up with, and I noticed this song which was very popular sung Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler.
Most people hear Green Berets and think of the John Wayne movie and Vietnam, but they were liberators in South America. My HVAC guy was a Green Beret sniper in the first Iraq War.
Sadler's series of "Casca" military history/fiction books were a favorite of mine in my late teens and early twenties. He was a multi-talented man--typical Green Beret, in that sense--lost to us too early.
