Awesome podcast. Actually thought Duffy and Lay was going to bite the big one. So glad they made it out to gravy land.
I remember a Vietnamese boy that was in my Martial Arts class years ago. We were both kids, 14ish. His father was very serious, never smiled. Not angry, but looked hardened. The boy was quiet but friendly. I really liked him.
The father was a Colonel in the Vietnamese Army. Because he helped the U.S., he had to flee with his family when the south fell. A few months after they arrived, their daughter, 17ish, was murdered. That's when the son began training in Martial Arts.
Those that fought against the North definitely had hardships after the war.
This was tremendous jocko
Anyone know where we can find this 40 minute radio exchange from the battle?
❤
Echo seriously? After all this time simply being in a room listening to all these men talk about their military experiences and you still have no idea what the fuck artillery is? No pass for you dude, you might actually be able to contribute if you educated yourself about some BASIC military history for once, even just to ask some questions that aren't special ed
Welcome back Echo!

Another VN podcast .Thank you sir!
👍
I wish Jocko would use his west coast influence and try to get someone like Oliver Stone or Stephen Spielberg to do an awesome movie or mini series about Mac V Sog. It would be amazing and they deserve it!
What a fantastic podcast and an amazing tale of heroism
Side note: I could listen to Jocko read tales of valor all day.
Please never kick echo off, unless there’s a good reason of course but I can’t see that happening. I hate it when you have a podcast with two “hosts” and the less prominent one gets the boot. The Mike Tyson podcast is a good example. Great ep today though, love hearing about all these cool people and their stories.
I was thinking as Jocko does these podcasts he’s probably reliving horrible first hand experiences. That’s gotta be draining. But I’m glad he does it.
Anyone know where I can hear the radio communication?
Podcast 63 is a tremendous supplement to this video. I highly recommend you listen to Reeder’s captivity account!
They mentioned one could find a YT video of Maj. Duffy calling in air strikes. If you know the link please post it, because I haven't found it.
How does this not have 4 million views? 🇺🇸
Outstanding podcast !!
Great story… Thanks for doing you and dealing with comments like mine…
God bless all you boys

As the son of a Canadian USMC Vietnam veteran I am ao thankful for Jocko and this podcast the RESPECT and time given to the Vietnam vets to tell these incredible stories is so greatly appreciated.
Jocko I’m sure this has already been asked, but have you considered brining Duffy in for an interview ?
Please bring Duffy on the podcast!!
It can not be said enough. The first Jocko podcast with Bill Reeder is 100% must listen stuff. Arguably the best one of the 340+ do yourself a favor and get that one fired up.
Anybody able to find the radio audio? I can't find it.
Thank you sir for bringing this to us
Such a crazy fight, I certainly never heard of. It was such an insane notion that over 400 guys could hold that against all the NVA there, but they probably took out 1000s and held 2 weeks. Even in the escape of over 100 guys, only 5 of them got extracted via the helicopters then 30 stragglers luckily got out by walking.
Returning guest. I still remember the day, many years ago, when I listened to Cornel Reeder's first appearance on Jocko's podcast, it was shocking and real. Thank you for coming back.
This was a fantastic podcast! Very moving, inspiring, and harrowing story. Definitely going to order this book today. Thank you for sharing!!
