How in the hell did they pick Army Snipers over Marine Corps Scout Snipers? And where is Force Recon, widely considered the best deep recon units on the planet!

I hate having to go through the click deal, and hoping that I haven't open some of the BS advertising. I guess that's how they work though.
I guess I made it through most of it. Who knew Pakistan would make the list?!

The most dangerous special operations unit in the world will be highly trained, VERY highly motivated, and posess a tangible esprit de corps. Of these three the second is of the greatest importance and is usually typified by support from the central government and high command. I seriously doubt that a 3rd world nation such as Pakistan could field such a unit. The US, UK, Israel, France, Germany, the Russian Republic, and the PRC could. The US fails to a certain extent not due to any shortcomings on the soldiers part, but because the political establishment encourages criticism when not warranted thereby stifling creativity. Additionally, the current crop of "risk averse" higher-ranking officers only makes the problem worse. There are no such things as completely safe, high-risk operations.
