Ben I think a book that gives some good insight into the soul of SF is from the OSS days. It is called; Behind Japanese Lines; The OSS in Burma.

No it’s about an ODA trying to assault an Objective on top of a mountain top. They get direct fire and try to survive. It’s a intense book.

Gerald they are different, but very similar. I guess it is kind of like saying pick up trucks and chevy trucks are different. I spent many years in and worked most of the time in SF however, during my time in I worked with Special Operators many different services with many different jobs. I guess maybe we should all just realize everybody got a little different twist.
