If it makes you feel any better, there is no basic Google answer to my question. The IOH site and contact didn’t answer it, and neither does Airbornelawyer’s noted post.
Way to much thinking youngster. What you may know about Special Forces can only be something you read. There are "many" translations in many different search areas. But I'm sure yours is the only right one, so thanks for straightening us out. Find somewhere else to impress, some who may be impressionable enough to feel appreciative and blessed by your knowledge.
