“Elite” has become so overused that it has become meaningless. There is far too much talk about military units, methods and tactics today, and too much talk is dangerous. Some of our “elite” units suffer from diarrhea of the mouth, so it was refreshing to hear how little was said about the recent raid in Syria. Bravo Zulu to “the unit I think it was” for a job well done and also for keeping your mouths shut about it.
Apparently, Joe Biden wasn’t briefed on the operation, otherwise, we’d know the names of every single operator on the mission by now.
That ‘Unit’ has a long tradition of doing superb work while keeping their mouths shut, even though it means another ‘Team’ tends to get a lot of credit since they tend to talk more. Both the Unit and the Team are extremely well trained and are beyond amazing, it’s just that the Unit tends to keep their mouths shut.
All Soldiers have a uniform supplied by us. Shirt, trousers, trick unit badges ... the works.
All soldiers have those way cool sand-colored combat boots supplied by us
All Soldiers have sox supplied by us.
Most élite troops will be wearing underwear supplied by us. Except those going commando. (Which is ultrs elite)
All Iraqi soldiers carry AK 74s, supplied by us. (Made in Yugoslavia or Rumania) Ditto RPGs.
The elite units have Abrams Tanks with instructions to leave them full of fuel and running when they bug out.
But what truly makes these troops ELITE, the Muslim Military Crème de la Crème, is that we supply every man jack of this fine body of men with a jaunty beret!
The fighting motto of the Elite Units of the Iraqi 'Army' says it all.
