What's so special about Special Forces? I agree with Command Sergeant Major William Edge

that article, written by CSM William E. Edge (RIP) was published in Veritas September 1976...the month i graduated from SFQC...throughout my career, it was in my locker, under the glass on my desk, somewhere nearby where i could re-read it...
i had the distinct privilege of meeting Bill during the last years of his life...i (being a smarter-than-average young NCO) had avoided the good CSM during our time together at IMA (me being a student and Bill being the CSM), but i met him several years ago and was fortunate enough to be his guest on a couple of occassions...
he was one of the most profound men i have ever known....
