Interesting atricle.

If the Army sends all infantry officers to Ranger school why can't they put together a school that exposes them to what and why you guys do what you do? It seems to me that I have read this type of article over and over through the years and nothing seems to change. From the outside it appears if most of the officers in the Army are unaware of your mission and how you accomplish it.
Which in my uninformed opinion is a real shame. Seeing all the good will earned by an ODA get wasted by one thoughtless action by another unit is frustrating. I can't imagine how annoying it is for the guys that have to try and repair burned bridges.

The public has been told over and over again how modern wars are increasingly being waged by the Special Operations community. If that is the case why isn't more of an effort being made to integrating mother Army into what you guys do. Am I missing the mark here? I apologize if I am mistaken.
