ICYMI, the business cards you see below – jungle fighters and commie killers all – hailed from various Special Forces veterans of Vietnam, in particular the “Far Eastern Indochina Special Forces and Jungle Fighters Association, Ltd.” Whether that was a real organization or not, I dunno…but I sure as fuck hope it was. Most have the Special Forces insignia and the Green Beret, but the true awesomeness comes from the various skill sets they advertise.

Many thanks to Lesser Known Operators for the post that turned us on to these.
Jungle Fighters and Commie Killers
There’s no way I can write a description better than the one on the original Instagram post, so I’m just going to quote it here.
Gather around, my friends.
If you’re old enough, you won’t have to use your imagination like I do.
It’s hard to imagine life without something once you’ve had it long enough. We take for granted this little rectangle in our pockets that holds nearly all the world’s information. If you know how to ask the question.
Not that long ago, many of those who are reading this caption, lived without it. Phones were attached to walls. News came on actual paper. Television was still finding its footing.
Times change. People adapt.
It must have been something to be handed a business card like this by a very serious person from a very serious organization.
Special Forces, green beret, maybe a wicked mustache. Definitely, a wicked mustache.
The profile biography of a Green Beret. Serious comedy. That contrast must have been something.
Today, we can find anything. Funny, serious, or otherwise, instantly. No waiting, no surprise, no friction. Things change, and here we are.
What a wonderful time to be alive.
Be good, my friends.
Police Actions Too!

So what jobs do we know they could do? Let’s see.
- Wars fought
- Revolutions started
- Assassinations plotted
- Governments run
- Governments overthrown
- Arc Lights directed
- Uprisings started
- Uprisings quelled
- Tigers tamed
- Alligators castrated
- Bars emptied
- Virgins converted
- Virgins deflowered
- Nymphomania cured
- Orgies organized
- Perversion taught
And the list goes on.
It looks like at least some of these were left at the Vietnam Memorial Wall. I’m not sure where the others come from, but it doesn’t really matter. I just appreciate Lesser Known Operators putting them out there.
And if anybody cares, this is one of my granddaddy’s cards from when his Headhunters were running Opn Kentucky Cougar.
