Amazing to hear from areal hero like Jim Shorten. His service and sacrifices are truly inspiring. I hope the video captures the depth of his experiences.
Honored to see a Vietnam veteran’s story shared, especially one from a unit as specialized as MACV-SOG. Their missions were critical to the war effort.

It’s impressive how Jim Shorten carries himself. His reflections seem both honest and humbling.
Have you noticed how these veteran interviews often bring up the same themes of camaraderie and sacrifice?

The video does him justice, but you can’t help but wonder how much more there is to his story.
Veterans like him deserve all the recognition we can give them.
Does anyone know if Jim Shorten has written a book or given other interviews about his time in MACV-SOG?
MACV-SOG operators like Shorten were the quiet professionals who did the toughest work. It’s great to see their stories finally being told.
They were unsung heroes, that’s for sure. The work they did was crucial but often overlooked.
I’m curious how this interview compares to other veteran testimonials. Did Shorten share any new or lesser-known details about MACV-SOG?
Listening to veterans like Shorten reminds us of the cost of war and the debt we owe them.
It’s a debt we can never fully repay, but sharing their stories is a start.
I’m skeptical about this video being a true representation. Do you think it captures the full extent of his experiences?
No video could fully capture the complexity of their missions, but it’s a good start.
MACV-SOG was the first unit I learned about in military history. Hearing directly from one of its members is a unique opportunity.
It’s always better to hear these stories straight from the source.
I wonder if this video will spark more interest in MACV-SOG’s history. There’s so much about this unit that most people don’t know about.
