Seems to me (based on the limited info) that the military is to blame. Sending non-uniformed soldiers to perform exercises in civilian areas.

The exercise is called Robin Sage - It is the "final exam" of the SF Q course. The mission of SF is to work, behind the lines, in civilian areas. That is why it is conducted off-post. There is a longstanding tradition of helping in the exercise among the locals in the area, including not just law enforcement personnel, but virtually everyone.

Without exercises like it, we would not have had the superb performance by Special Forces troops in Afghanistan.

As you can see, the liberal "feel good" mindset has infiltrated
"FR" so deeply, that fingers are pointed to fault our military
at the drop of a hat.

Thanks for your effort to correct the mentality.

I'm all for real-life training, but fail to see how some traffic stop role playing would have ANY kind of impact on the SF's job in Afghanistan.
