It's the heat that steels the iron.
Any combat unit will form strong bonds...the heavier the combat the stronger the bonds. In combat you can't help but be who you really are, no facade can withstand that cruciable. You get to know people down deep, happy,sad,glad,scared etc....
SF is that and more because of the time spent with the same guys. I was on the same ODA for 7 years from a junior guy to finally being the Team Sgt. So you get both. Had one guy in B/2/5 that was in the same Company for 16 years.
Another SOF/SF factor is everyone goes thru some selection process so you get guys with many similar attributes.
Conv Army assigns and moves folks regularly, or t least they did.
Having said that I can see the Infantry guys I served with in RVN like it was yesterday and a strong bond exists there too.
