Why Green Berets Carried Tomahawks in Vietnam?
In 1966, a retired WW2 Marine started mailing tomahawks to American soldiers in Vietnam — and roughly 4,000 of them bought one with their own pay. This is the real story of Peter LaGana's Vietnam Tomahawk: the gap in the Army's kit it filled, the engineering behind an eighteenth-century weapon in a jet-age war, and how the idea came back 35 years later with an official stock number. Sources: John L. Plaster — "SOG: The Secret Wars of America's Commandos in Vietnam" American Tomahawk Company records and Peter LaGana's original promotional films (1966) U.S. Army Ranger Handbook — Standing Orders, Rogers' Rangers Veterans' accounts and period photographs of the LaGana Vietnam Tomahawk in theater Subscribe for more of what they didn't put in the textbooks.
