  1. Not only SF did that. British SAS have done that in Malaya Borneo and up to date, passing on lessons to the USSF via the jungle school with British, Australian, New Zealand and even Rhodesian Instructors with jungle combat experience. My uncle was a Regular soldier in the UK and before i joined he taught me a lot of the tricks and techniques. It was fascinating learning all the small details, and he always said meticulous attention to detail will keep you alive longer ,"slapdash means dead" Those MACV SOG guys get my salute any day, that so many paid the ultimate price saddens me

  2.  @Kremit_the_Forg  Son Tay raid, they spent millions looking for a night sight for quick reaction then found that Singlepoint in UK did one that had been available to civilians for years for about $15 It is a collimator red dot sight. I have my uncles version that he used in Northern Ireland and other conflicts. Look at any pic of the Son Tay raiders and they are usually easily spotted, Australian and other SAS used them in Vietnam too

  3.  @bob_the_bomb4508  We drive on the left so that the coachman or guard can use a sword or long firearm ie shotgun or blunderbuss, from the right seat, as highwaymen would usually in theory come from the bushes to the left There is also the explanation that when coaches travelled through the narrow lanes and roads of the period the driver would not be hit in the face by foliage, bushes, trees, at the left side, particularly Mail Coaches and the Post Horn to warn ahead was quite long too. Many explanations. I noticed most American western Stagecoaches drivers are also on the right with the brake bar outboard of where he sits to use with the right foot.

  5.  @cgi2002  I am lucky in that i am totally ambidextrous, and don't seem to have a dominant eye either, due to various factors in my childhood and upbringing. I have met a few people with the same ability, a good few of them are piano players strangely enough
