Hello everyone. I see several things Ally will be interested in reading today. Thank you for your work and contributions. Have a great day everyone. I need to head out and make some money. :)

Valin, thanks for the history. I'll have to finish reading it later.

"By far the most renowned unit of WWII to be highly skilled in the system during that early period, was the 1st Special Service Force, better known as “The Devil’s Brigade”. The first of its kind, this unique unit was made up of Canadian and US troops, and carried a reputation for being able to take impenetrable objectives when no one else could. With "Pat" O'Neil (another of Fairbairn's senior students) as it Unarmed Combat Instructor these legendary men became known as some of the most highly trained soldiers during WWII with their unit being the predecessor to the US Special Forces."
