Deny Assassination Part of Green Berets Mission
Col. Fred Ladd, a former Green Beret commander in Vietnam, says assassination is not part of Special Forces duties. He notes Green Berets train to organize mountain tribesmen and fight the Viet Cong, not to murder. Ladd declines to discuss the eight men charged in a murder case linked to the group. He stresses Green Berets’ intelligence work centers on monitoring infiltrations and troop movements rather than clandestine operations.
