Camaraderie/Brotherhood/Band of Brothers are all personality driven. I was on teams for 16 of my 22 years in SF and for the most part it’s true your team bonds and you make a Brother for life. On the other hand I’ve had team mates that I wouldn’t give the time of day to. An old Team Sergeant, Corky Shelton had a rule to fix that, “if you want to fight among the team let me know and we’ll get the gloves, if you do it while we are deployed, I’ll buy your ticket home and have your shit out of my team room before we get back.” That worked. I’ve also had the honor to work with other SOF elements both US and foreign who I consider a Brother and I am still in contact with. For the most part, not always, conventional forces, again both US and foreign felt a little intimidated and I’m sure for good reason of SF. We are all type A and cock sure of ourselves, we have to be. Bottom line, it’s in my humble opinion that it is personality driven, you either are or you’re not. Think about it.
