Retired Army Sergeant Major. One wife, two adult kids, two cats. Live in MFN [middle of fucking nowhere], VA. Totally Red around here and I love reminding them that I am a Blue veteran. They go apoplectic and I feel great.

I read (well, was voluntold to read) McRaven's book, and...I still think there's some(?) utility of the various stripes of SOF...but it's pretty limited and there's a lot of money burned to prop up action hero stuff that has questionable (to put it euphamistically) strategic impact.
part of my pitch for future democratic military policy is "we should crush the special forces and double crush the seals specifically"
they contribute little-to-nothing valuable to american defense and are riddled with war crimes and also just regular crimes
