Do SOF feel more of a brotherhood with each other than the conventional units......

taskforceiron · 09-12-2010, 08:14

within their perspective branches? I have this book entitled U.S. Special Forces by Alan M. & Frieda W. Landau, Terry Griswold, D.M. Giangreco, and Hans Halberstadt. On page 270 it reads There is a tremendous overlap of missions, training, aptitude, and command of all the organizations within US Special Operations Command. It then has a picture of a Green Beret holding a German GPMG MG and it states that the Green Beret trains SEALS in the art and science of small arms such as that German GPMG. It goes on to state SEALS and Green Berets are essentially members of the same fraternity. They are likely to be on better terms with each other than with members of conventional units within their own branch of service. I'm asking if this statement is indeed accurate?

I searched and never found anything. Then I went through all ten pages and did not find what I was looking for.

Since your general location is none of my business, any information about my career field is none of yours.

Your question was a general SOF question. You asked "Do SOF feel........". You did not ask "Do SEALS and Green Berets". What? Don't you like Rangers?

You asked a SOF question and a SOF person answered - don't stick your nose up in the air at them on this board.

You are beginning to be high maintenance. Be warned.

He's also my friend, and has earned his right to share his thoughts here. Watch your step, this is not a place to be rude. Ranger or not, I seriously doubt you would speak to him like that if you were face to face. I know I wouldn't,,,

Why would that matter when we're discussing civility. If you look around this site you'll notice that even our most heated discussions are still done with civility and respect.
