Is anyone else obsessed with this shit? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MACV-SOG From the "Confessional Booth" thread:
I am. Their service is forgotten by a lot of people. So many of them are still buried in Laos and Cambodia. Her's another thread from that board http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=788
Tales from SOG http://www.specialoperations.com/MACVSOG/Tales_from_SOG/Default.html Note: Link opens toward the bottom of the page for some reason. This website is hard to navigate (think Foundry only a little less shitty). Don't bother using the search bar for anything.

Not obsessed, but I have a healthy interest. I have a Cousin that did 3 tours as an SF Officer '67-'71. He had assignments in both A & B detachments, but his specialty was PsyOps.
I've always been interested in the Vietnam war in general. No specific attachment, just driven by a general curiousity since it wasn't really talked about much in school. Most of our textbooks and lessons stopped right after Truman dropped the bomb. All of the Cold War crap, Israeli conflicts, Vietnam & Afghanistan, were like forgotten times for me growing up.
