Agreed, but I would wish to politely suggest that what's important is not whether they are actually true commandos, as judged, for example, by the training standards of the Army Rangers, the Navy Seals or the British SAS, but what's important is that they THINK they are.
And that gives them the motivation and the impetus to do some damage.
I have no doubt that any true commando or any other highly trained warfighter will say that a huge part of being a professional in that field is having a proper frame of mind.
I would wager that such a true professional would look at those idiots crawling around in the snow and on the one hand snicker at their amateurish antics, but their frame of mind would make anyone pause.
As many military officers have said in regards to the war on terror, what makes it really hard for us to fight is that we are fighting people who are not afraid to die. That changes the entire equation.

OPINION:
That’s correct.
The jihadi embraces darkness and death.
We embrace The Light and life.
