I first took that Oath in 1954, I know what it means. I also know we have better equipped and better trained Special Forces than could have been imagined in WW II days, but they are the few not the many. The Marines and other Special Forces are daily being chipped away with the LGBT feminist agenda and raise people tend to be not so patriotic. We have Generals and Admirals that are nothing less than dishonorable, many of them have openly rebuked the President and his policies. Tell me that isn't true.
raise = those, danged auto correct changed it twice.
WE have standards of training, Ranger training, deep recon marine training, and some others that have not changed.
there are now many more special ops afield than at any time in history. Obama actually started that and it is the only good thing he did with the military.
Special operations now has its own military command which means it has much better coordination between the military branches and military units than ever before.
A lot has changed over the years. Because of the professionalism of our men and women in the military they are tougher, stronger and smarter than every before and can easily outlast the Obama type president who thinks more like a girl scout than CIC.
