I'm not trying to impress anyone, sir. It's very clear that the Latin doesn't read as the official translation says, but my motive in posting is only to discover why this is the case.
Another thread in my overabundant thinking was a perception that in Special Forces, much more than in the broader military, the warrior and the scholar were united. On that account, I was reluctant to believe that the Latin was simply incorrect, and have been searching for more info before I do.
