That is really a disturbing editorial, unclewest. Can you share your thoughts on this?

Thanks for asking.

I agree with every word General Jim Guest wrote. He has put our Special Forces on notice that they need to watch their back. His article is rippling at full speed throughout the SF community. There will be more said on this subject. Just keep in mind that these are true Patriots who are and have dedicated their lives to our nation's defense using unique and very inexpensive (relatively) tactics and techniques.

Tossing that military capability out the window is idiotic...Jim's letter does not say that exactly in those words...but importantly he does point out that the planning to do that is underway.

Here is the headline and link again.

The Long Farewell

"The Capstone Concept for Special Operations being developed for USSOCOM includes the concept “Global Expeditionary Forces,” and all indications point to an intent to replace the Special Forces Groups with this new concept. "
By Major General (R) James A. Guest
