Should have been a movie about him.

Vietnam, late 1960s. Hostile North Vietnamese troops pin down a Hatchet Force of elite American MACV-SOG operators. They have the numbers and the high ground.

Nevertheless, the Americans and their loyal indigenous Montagnards do not back down. Staff Sergeant Jerry M. Shriver, also known as Mad Dog, dashes from cover to cover, pummeling the enemy with his unconventional arsenal of several pistols, revolvers, and a lethal sawed-off shotgun.

Some men are wounded and are slowly hoisted up through the thick jungle canopy to a chopper. The enemy presses on, but Mad Dog does not flinch. He retaliates with all the ammunition at his disposal.

The friendlies are lifted one by one until Mad Dog is left alone. He calls in for Close Air Support several times. The enemy fire intensified to the point the radio offered Mad Dog Shriver assistance with a fresh unit of ground troops.

He rejects the offers and replies: [QUOTE] “No, no…I’ve got them right where I want them: surrounded from the inside.”
