It used to be said that the night belonged to Charlie. But that wasn't true where SEALs patrolled. For six months in 1970, fourteen men in Juliett Platoon of the Navy's SEAL Team One--incuding the author--carried out over a hundred missions in the Mekong Delta without a single platoon fatality. Their primary mission- kidnap enemy soldiers--alive--for interrogation.
Darryl Young is a former Navy SEAL and the author of The Element of Surprise- Navy SEALs in Vietnam and SEALs, UDT, Frogmen- Men Under Pressure.
