Ok, soak this one in slowly. (Keeping in mind Special Forces now has command report to Sec. of Def.)

Q: "Misspellings Matter" - As does other grammar. In this context, "States" should not be capitalized and neither should "Federal Government".

LawProse Lesson #217: When do you capitalize “federal” and state”?

Generally speaking, the word federal should be lowercase unless it’s part of a title or an organization’s name {federal assistance} {the federal government} {Federal Rules of Civil Procedure} {Federal Trade Commission}.

The letters (intentionally) wrongly capitalized are:

>>>SFG<<<

The 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) (7th SFG) (A) is an operational unit of the United States Army Special Forces activated on 20 May 1960. It was reorganized from the 77th Special Forces Group, which was also stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. 7th Group—as it is sometime called—is designed to deploy and execute nine doctrinal missions: unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, direct action, counter-insurgency, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, information operations, counterproliferation of weapon of mass destruction, and security force assistance.

The 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) – abbreviated 3rd SFG(A) and often simply called 3rd Group – is an active duty United States Army Special Forces (SF) group which was active in the Vietnam Era (1963–69), inactivated, and then reactivated in 1990. 3rd Group—as it is sometime called—is designed to deploy and execute nine doctrinal missions: unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, direct action, counter-insurgency, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, information operations, counterproliferation of weapon of mass destruction, and security force assistance.

See post 1081. That is why I asked if the tweet seemed odd to anyone. Those capital letters...
