It seems to me that you really don't know very much about an organization that you profess to want to be a part of that could put you in a life or death situation. This isn't Call of Duty.
You do realize that we have missions other than DA, and we are likely to be doing more FID as we shrink ops in AFG, right? Much of what we teach to foreign troops is infantry tactics.
If you were to be fortunate enough to make it to SF Assessment and Selection, your desire to use SF as stepping stone is not going to be adequate to sustain you psychologically through the process. Than you are going to find out what being an infantry soldier is all about. It sounds like you want a Beret and Tab, but are not truly dedicated to the cause. Our process is designed to weed people like you out early on.
Finally, until you see a recruiter and formally ask for the waivers, this entire discussion is moot.
