Bo and Beau were not interchangeable with the "Bo" Gritz I knew.  Who am I?  I served in Special Forces from 1963 to 1968.  Bo and I were captains in the 5th SFG when it deployed from Ft Bragg to Vietnam in 1964.  I was in II Corps and Bo was in III Corps.  Bo had a reputation of being a bad azz SF operator and was well known as a braggadocio.  He was more than happy to tell you about his heroic deeds without you having to ask. I am surprised he was never awarded the Medal of Honor for some of the things he claims to have done.  My guess is that there were no witnesses to his heroic feats other than himself.   I would still like to know when and where you served on his team and what was Operation Freedom?
