The challenge is huge. Our military is quite small. Something has to be changed.

We are going to have to expand special ops soldiers. If that means a "second tier" of training, so be it. We are wasting money keeping rows and rows of artillery troops at Fort Sill.

Everybody does not need to be of the quality and have the same training as Green Berets to operate abroad. There are just not enough people of that quality available no matter what we do.

We can take some SF trainees who don't make it through and use them instead of transfering them all back to regular army. I know this idea grates on you, but you should give serious thought as to how to implement it.
