RIP. Robin Moore was a remarkable man living the life of a Special Forces Soldier and then writing about it.

Listening to the "Ballad of the Green Berets" takes me back to 1966. The first time that I heard SSG Barry Sadler sing the song, I was in Viet Nam. Over the years, the more I heard it, the more I liked it. Today, it's one of my favorites.

Thanks for posting, agonyea.

He helped inspire generations and helped in the creation of a legend and legacy that will stand after most here are forgotten. I still have the original Sadler LP from '65.

This was a good and gallant soul who did his bit to help in Nam. His words will outlive him by far. RIP. Lost causs are the only ones worth fighting for.
