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.

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.

Force Recon are the shooters right now, doing all the door kicking. I can't see the Ranger comparison just based on what will make up MARSOC. They don't need a new title just more money.

LOL

You'd be wrong on many different levels.

No, there is zero comparison between the Rangers and Marine Corps SpecOps.

I do not feel to waste time going over it all but you should research your stuff before you post a brainfart like that.
