How about the former commander of the 101st Airborne who commanded it during the initial invasion of Iraq? He's just been named Commander of the Coalition forces in Iraq. Earlier he commanded a battalion in the 101st, and a brigade in the 82nd. Not special ops, but definitely a down and dirty bunch. Or is a paratrooper just too "wimpy" for you? Additionally he's most recently been the commander of the Combined Arms Center at Ft. Leavenworth.
As for "Top Special Forces generals, the Chief of Staff of the Army, http://www.army.mil/leaders/leaders/csa/biography.html> General Peter Schoomaker, was pulled out of retirement in 2003 to become the CoS. He was Commanding General of the Joint Special Operations Command from July 1994 to August 1996, followed by command of the United States Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, North Carolina through October 1997. His most recent assignment prior to assuming duties as the Army Chief of Staff was as Commander in Chief, United States Special Operations Command at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, from November 1997 to November 2000. He's also served with and commanded more conventional units as well.
"Top" and "Special" enough for you?
Nope. Tougher than me, for sure. Does that suit you?
"Top" and "Special" enough for you?
Yup.
Now, let's see if they are allowed to fight. Let's see how it goes.
