If everybodys special no one really is......

Spec Op's titles are out of control.....just a move for a slice of that DOD money pie IMO.

God Bless the Mk 1 Mod O door kickers getting trigger time !

I agree with you here on the whole -

From what I'm hearing MARSOC are going to take on a role equal to say that of Rangers. MARSOC are going to be shooters....but not shooters in the since of SEALs/DELTA but more in the mold of the Rangers.

Which isn't altogether that bad of an idea. MARSOC will provide SOCOM with another asset they can put directly into the fight on short to no notice. I have a feeling they will run perimeter security for a lot of SEAL Ops.

Hey I was in the Corps before they hung the "SOC" moniker on MEUs.

We were the elite, and by God we knew it. Now where these guys get off calling Force Recon Marines 'mature' I'll never know.
