And anybody attempting a non-prior service special operations contract. The military is bigger than you, you are not now nor ever will be THE GUY.
Go to youtube or liveleak, and spend some time watching actual videos of firefights and intense combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ask yourself if this is truly something you can do. Look at the mens faces, put yourself there. There's one video of this soldier talking to the cameraman following him as a live combat scenario is taking place, it really puts you in the mind of what it means and what it takes to be in a combat zone. You are no better than they are, and it is an insult to these guys to feel as if you can somehow surpass what they have done and go directly into special operations. Appreciate the regular Army (and Marines). Do it first, and if you come out alright, then go further if you still want to.
