I am glad to see that it looks like the CIA operators and the SF guys are getting along better these days. The CIA had to adjust to SF tactics and techniques. 85+% of the actionable combat intelligence in Iraq and Afghan comes from deployed SF "A" Teams - now known as ODAs. The press botched the use of the term Special Forces again. This was not a Special Forces operation. All Special Forces qualified men earned US Army Green Berets and all US Army Green Berets are Special Forces. Anyone without a Green Beret who claims to be SF is a wannabe. I know a lot of SEALS. They want to be known as SEALS - not Special Forces, and rightfully so. They have their own record to stand on. SEAL operators have no interest in infringing on the history, record and legacy of Special Forces. That is not true for many Navy Admirals and USMC Generals.
