If he were clowning around, I might agree with the prior "unnecessary risks" comment. But he knows what the risks are. Our special forces take risks like that, perhaps for a better purpose but not as much fun. |

Wrong, As dangerous as a Specops mission is, they are well thought out and executed and normally are highly successful. SF is rarely a bunch of hotdogs. They know their job and do it probably beyond human capability but chance takers they aren't. When it appears that it's impossible means they failed somewhere along the way and their people die in the process. When it looks almost supernatural in the success, it's from superior planning and execution of the mission.

Exactly what are your Military Credentials? Most of us in here have them or have been connected to the Military in some way in the past who generally comment on the procedures. What are your creds? Mine is 20 years in USAF and I have worked along with SFs in my time and can tell you that they are not risk takers. They just know their jobs so well that it may appear that way to someone less informed. -- http://tvmoviesforfree.com for free movies and Nostalgic TV. Tons of Military shows and programs. |

Sorry Daryl I didn't mean you I meant the original poster. He came onto a usernet hiding behind a false name and a keyboard asked a controversial question with the intent of starting **** and and succeeded well. Lookit he sucked in at least 70 responses. He's smiling thinking what a bunch of looser gliderpilots. |
