MACV-SOG: THE SECRET WAR
JOHN “PLASTICMAN” PLASTER – Danger Close Podcast
John L. Plaster is a legendary MACV-SOG operator who served three tours of duty in Vietnam leading high-risk reconnaissance missions deep behind enemy lines in Laos and Cambodia, striking supply lines along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Wounded in action and decorated for valor four times, he later flew over 350 aerial combat missions as a Forward Air Controller.
After Vietnam, Plaster became a pioneer in modern sniper training, co-founding the National Guard Sniper School and instructing elite military and law enforcement units, including the FBI and Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A prolific author, he has chronicled the untold stories of SOG in books including SOG: THE SECRET WARS OF AMERICA’S COMMANDOS IN VIETNAM, SECRET COMMANDOS: BEHIND ENEMY LINES WITH THE ELITE WARRIORS OF SOG, and SOG: A PHOTO HISTORY OF THE SECRET WARS.
Plaster has also been inducted into both the Air Commando and Special Forces Halls of Fame.
