No one living today really knows what life was like in the Depression because most didn't survive it. Those that did either fought in WWII or scraped by with nearly nothing out West. Either way, times were tough for everyone, especially children. Those children eventually grew up and struggled in their own way throughout America in parts that would never recover from the hardships of the first half of the twentieth century. Many of these young men ended up in the Korean War with little choice but to join the military as a means of survival, i.e., food, shelter, and clothing. Eventually, all...

One month after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, when President John F. Kennedy pressed Congress about America’s “urgent national needs”, he named expanding US special operations forces along with putting a man on the moon. Captain William Hamilton was the officer tasked with creating the finest unconventional warriors ever seen.
