The man who John Rambo was based on, the face of Vietnam Marines, Medal of Honor Nominee, silver star recipient, trained killer Major James Capers Jr

I listened to this entire interview. This dude was a demon on the battlefield. Never heard of him but he is revered amongst Marines. They credit him with starting their special ops program.

I hope he gets the Medal of Honor while he’s still alive.

FBA did so much work for this country. Especially in the military that we don’t get credited for.

This dude is a legend, a lot of melanated folks who put WORK in during Nam who dont have the public acclaim

if you ever get in the position where you need to kill, operate with reckless abandon. Lesson is taught here.


Also why you dont send Marine for peace keeping missions lmao

I had no idea about this. I was in the USMC..I don’t remember hearing anything about him in boot camp or in the fleet. They teach us about Chesty Puller, John Basilone (tha goat ) & Jason Dunham for the most part. Gotta look through my book & see if it was a station named after him in The Crucible

Capers Biography | Major James Capers

www.capersthedoc.com

He says he killed 2 dudes in Hong Kong while on R&R and that hurt his career.

Also worked for the CIA.

Dealt with a ton of racism but was so good at his craft it was undeniable.
