That is what is so great about America, Whether your Conservative or Liberal, GOP or Dem, Capitalist or Socialist when you push Americans then tend to push back. Well can do all the infighting and bickering we want becasue at the end of the day we all are on the same team and want what is right for our country.

:hatsoff: to the Men and Women who served this country past and present.

Here, here....partisanship ends at our borders and shores.....:thumbsup:

US Navy SEALS (but I'm biased) DEVGRU. "Special Forces" is actually the formal for US Army "Green Berets"....the collective of special warfare operators are generally referred to as SO.

Fabled SEAL Team 6 ends hunt for bin Laden

WASHINGTON – The raid that killed Osama bin Laden will go down in history as the most important covert operation since 9/11, earning the elite Navy SEAL team that carried it out permanent bragging rights for finishing off the most-wanted terrorist on Earth.

It was a near-textbook operation, despite the near-failure of one of the helicopters carrying the raiders. They all made it into Osama bin Laden's high-walled compound in Pakistan, sliding down ropes in darkness, as they've done on so many raids hunting militants since al-Qaida declared war on the United States.

The Navy SEALs won't confirm they carried out the attack, but their current chief, Rear Adm. --, at Naval Special Warfare Command in California, sent an email congratulating his forces and cautioning them to keep their mouths shut.

"Be extremely careful about operational security," he added. "The fight is not over."

It was a warning few needed in the secretive group, where operators are uncomfortable with media coverage, fearing revealing details could let the enemy know what to expect the next time.

Made up of only a few hundred personnel based in Dam Neck, Va., the elite SEAL unit officially known as Naval Special Warfare Development Group, or "DEVGRU," is part of a special operations brotherhood that calls itself "the quiet professionals."

....
DEVGRU is the same unit that rescued an American ship captain, Richard Phillips, held hostage on a lifeboat by Somali pirates after his capture from the USS Maersk Alabama in 2009. A DEVGRU unit fired precision shots from the rocking stern of a Naval ship, killing three of four pirates.

I believe the extreme level of dedication, precision and support technology of our US special forces has been nullified by the current political administration.

I'm ex-Air Force and this is how I feel...Merry Christmas to all those who are working to protect my country and can't be home with their families for the holidays...thank you :bowdown:

I've heard the Collaboration of Task Force 88, 121 and 145 and Task Force Black are severe bad asses.

GSG9 and the SAS are kick ass, hardcore professionals, and Seal Teams all come to mind as tops of the list.

Salvation Army Holiday Volunteers.......they are the baddest of the bad

In all seriousness it's all opinion based; unless you want a death match or at least a hardcore paintball tourny between all the forces mentioned.

The closest to that would be Deadliest Warrior and even that is based around interpretation.

Though I'm fond of the story of how they took out Bin Laden; also a while back when those smugglers got sniped while out at sea with a hostage.

Recon get's respect too for having guys parachute in and carry grown men on their back out of a shithole. Of course all the teams deserve respect; they work damn hard for it.

Though I felt bad for the SEAL that was on Deadliest Catch when he had been retired for 10 years or some such. He couldn't hack it; proving if you don't use it you lose it.

To me they are all fucking mental and I wouldn't want to come across any of them. Dead before you hit the ground I believe the term is.
