Marine Corps Vietnam veteran Johnnie Clark joins the show to deliver a raw, unforgettable account of combat, survival, faith, and the cost of coming home from war. After joining the Marines at 17 and arriving in Vietnam at 18, Clark served as an M60 machine gunner with the 5th Marine Regiment, where he was wounded three times and later awarded the Silver Star, three Purple Hearts, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm. From the Battle of Huế and brutal patrols near the Ho Chi Minh Trail to graveyard firefights, mercy killings, lost Marines, and the trauma that followed him home, Clark shares the truth behind one of the deadliest jobs in Vietnam. A powerful episode packed with brotherhood, sacrifice, faith, and living history.

Guns Up, Guns Up, Guns Up!
Thank you Shawn, these are the greatest interviews. These Vietnam Veterans dont get the respect they deserve..we need to hear from more of them before they ate gone.
বিদায়।
C’est tout pour aujourd’hui. Au revoir ! —
I felt this 😢Semper Fi salt Dogg 🫡
Dude,Sir, your Editor needs a show/interview on his talent/skills.
🔝🔝💯💯
Cant wait for you to start interviewing American azov fighters. Modern day warfare stories.
True heroism I say!
The most dangerous weapon of war is a pen….
All this carnage happened because of 13 bloodlines
God bless his precious heart
The hair falling out in one night reminds me of another Vietnam vet telling his story of another soldiers hair turning grey over night after a snake bite.
Shame on NC. Thank you for your service.
I recon by fire 😂😂😂
This one hits home for me. I watched my dad deal with demons for his whole life until he passed in 2019. He was in the 5th SF Vietnam 68-70. Was in MacV, Mike Force etc. So hard to watch him suffer and not a damn thing I could do about it. God Bless these Vets. 🇺🇸 🫡
God bless you sir .. I appreciate your sacrifices..thank you
I got tears when Johnny tore up. Thank God I stayed in the states and didn’t have to go to Vietnam. USAF 1970 to 73. I hated seeing people come back from Vietnam all strung out. Now I really see why.
Is the video up on patron now ?
When is this interview coming out
Peace & grace to all my brothers & sisters in Christ.
LBJ made sure we didn’t win in Vietnam
Stop with the music and trying to make things dramatic. 👎🖕
Semper Fi to all my fellow Devil Dogs.
And at the end of the day we find nearly 60,000 dead young American soldiers who died for a lie?!
The Gulf of Tonkin incident.
Because War is profitable.
If you care about our veterans , service men and women, take an hour or two to read War Is A Racket, by Smedly D. Butler. United States Marine Corps major general and two time Medal of Honor recipient.
The wounds of war last a lifetime
Respect and Thanks
Dear God … these are the stories worth hearing and sharing … will be a hard watch though.
Thank You Shawn Ryan and team for producing content like this.
㊙🐰㊙

They have not left a single generation without the scars of war…
Not a one.
I can’t imagine sending an 18 year old child into that, no choice or you go to jail. Absolutely terrible 😞
Faaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrkkkkk
Thank you for your service!!
He reminded me of my dad. He was a Marine in the Pacific in WWII. Every time he tried to tell a story, he would cry. So all he ever talked about how good the fishing there was. It was hard to watch.
