[SVTCobra03]

One of the long term liberal/socialist/Marxist goals for the liberal fascist police state in America is to destroy the Army Special Forces for the same reason that the Soviets annihilated the Polish officer corps in the Katyn Forest in WWII. They do not want a cadre of SF that would serve as trainers and leaders of the Resistance.

Think you nailed it - but other 'special' operations elements (not SF) are into the training and organizing thing these days as well.
However, as I understand it, their path to that role is different and the goals are more conventional than I was taught.

Another thought - are 'they' still pissed over old (?) ties with the agency that shall not be named?

(A few years back, my introduction to a new VP began with his asking me about military experience, followed with my telling him it included assignment with Special Forces, then his glowing description of dropping the tail ramp and taxiing while troopers burned out on their ATVs, dune buggies, scooters and such...
and then...
my very respectful and subdued...WHAT?

All of which was an improvement over the seventies, when I mentioned SF and someone asked what instrument I played.)
