For anyone with direct knowledge, what's up with current military culture regarding secrecy? I knew SF guys from the Vietnam era and they didn't talk with outsiders. In fact, I can't think of any prominent "tell all" books from SOF operators from before the 21st century. Now we have ex-SEALs doing book deals.

- varjag 1y agoMany of these stories are likely massively exaggerated or are plainly made up/lore. Which is especially easy if you can convince yourself that by bullshitting you help maintain secrecy.
- afroboy 1y agoThere is no proof of these stories. They exist only to glorify the US army, this is why they allow them to spread these imaginary heroic stories.
