"Better Monkeys than the NVA" - Dealing With Wildlife in Vietnam

"Former member of the special operations clandestine unit known as MACV-SOG. John ran missions as the 1-0 and 1-2 of Spike Team Idaho from May 1968 – April 1969. Following his time serving as a Green Beret in Vietnam, "Tilt" worked as a reporter and editor before devoting his efforts to the veterans community and working as a special operations history keeper. Thanks to the 20-year secrecy agreement expiring, he is now able to tell his story about the secret ops that occurred across the fence in Laos, Cambodia and North Vietnam." - https://www.jstrykermeyer.com/

John Stryker Meyer, aka "Tilt", has been a monumental figure in the veteran community. His first interviews on Jocko Willink's podcast reached a massive audience, many who had no idea what the secret war in Vietnam was. We are honored to have had the opportunity to sit down with John to record his story in a new setting, and we are excited to return to film Part 2. A huge thank you to Tilt and his wife for being so kind to us, welcoming us into their home, and being such genuinely good people. We will never forget the way they treated us, and will do our best to emulate the same treatment toward others.

If you would like to see more of John's content, you can find his podcast SOGCast on all major audio platforms.
