[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Speaking of best of the best, I've heard many a vet say that Green Baret never see action. I kept telling them, they are trained for a reason. It often takes more than new foreign recruits, [even Afghan recruits], to run into that smoke filled hole where the enemy is alert and waiting with grenades.

Try telling that to Roger Donlon.

Tell it also, BTW, to the Green Beret captain who dealt with (and saw action with) one Mr. Karzai, who is currently President of Afghanistan. The outcome of the war in Afghanistan turned on the ability of young Green Beret officers like that to work with the Northern Alliance.
