Jae Mukoyama's tweet.
So to get a smile from Jocko, give him a General who started as a company commander in combat, who joined up while others were getting drafted, and worked with Hackworth.

Jocko thank you for your podcast on General Mukoyama. He is an amazing inspiration. I am a Japanese American, OEF veteran and have had the humbling experience of sitting in the company of 442 RCT during our local veterans day parade and although honored had no business sharing the float with those veterans of the greatest generation. You should put a book/podcast on the 442 RCT on the to do list. GO FOR BROKE!

There are a lot of good stories and units. I think Jocko knows the Story. Could you link him up with any of the remaining guys of the 422?

Jocko,

18 minutes into the above video, a man tells the story about the start of USA involvement in Vietnam in 1963.

Just wanted to share war stories on tape mostly.
