There was at least one other "Green Beret" tiger in Viet Nam.
In 1968 the 5th Special Forces Group, Airborne had a jump school (Detachment B-51) in Dong Ba Thin.
B-51 acquired three tiger cubs.
One stayed with B-51, one went to the commander of LLDB (RSVN Special Forces
that we supposedly worked for) and I do not remember where the 3rd kitten went.
Last I knew Clyde was pushing a couple hundred pounds. He liked the Americans, but was pretty rough on the indigenous camp members.
There was a screened in area where movies were watched in the evening. A lot of the indigs filled any empty space inside. Once in a while
someone would slip out and get Clyde. When he entered there was total chaos. Kinda like a [bleep] event with a lot of scrambling and yelling.
Sorry I do not have much more to tell of the story, but I have ever since had a place in my heart for tigers.
Somewhere I have a pic of Clyde but......
Also there seemed to be quite a few reports of tigers attacking marines spending the night in listening posts.
Ahhhh the good times.
