SOF: Most Elite

[CDAT]

I suggest doing a little research on the PJs instead of taking your cousin's word for it. He may be right, but that's quite a claim to take on "authority".

It was not from him, it was from them for him. So from the PJ's them self. He later decided to go to medical school instead of joining.

What about those Spetznaz guys that kung fu kick one another and break bottles and two-by-fours over their heads at demonstrations. I'm not sure that kind of stuff proves anyone's "elite" but it does seem to indicate a lack of good judgment and/or problem-solving skills.

Just the lack of good judgment/problem-solving skills does not make you crazy.

Then they had a vested interest in telling him that, right They were recruiting him, were they not

Another "other" unit is the CIA SAD teams who draw from the operator community. BTW, the third top tear medal- The Intelligence Cross is pretty much a posthumous award. But SAD(can't remember their previous moniker) would be available to fight the KGB and GRU teams in Krakow and elsewhere. As spies it would be best not to get caught though.

As for the Rangers, who I hold in very high esteem, I'm going to stick with the guidance given me by my first NCO mentor, who had been a Ranger back in the day: "A Ranger is nothing more and nothing less than what every infantryman ought to be.Webstral

To jump genres, Webstrall, Your NCO sounds like a Dorsai.

i have to go with the blanket heads for this. they have to be able to kick in doors, shoot people and break things like everyone else. and on top of that they have to be able to teach people who have probably never even seen a modern weapon before how to fight a war behind enemy lines. imagine combining rambo, a college professor, and james bond into one person. chuck noris isn't even that good.

An excellent list. I'd have to say MACV-SOG. Not to diminish any other organization. And the Gurkhas.
