Any information about U.S. special operations forces is highly sensitive.
I joined the Marines, passed Special Forces selection, and became a young leader in the military.
The SAS is the most elite of the special forces in the world. They are not people who go out and advertise; they keep it inside. They don't want anybody to know about them.
The settlers do not have a problem with the leftists but, rather, with Israelis who like settlers: Israelis who are unconcerned by the fact that national-religious youngsters are overtaking our elite units. Such Israelis actually appreciate the settlers for that.
The Special Ops community has always been about mental toughness.
The Navy Seals don't travel with 200 people, they wouldn't be able to execute the kind of tip-of-the-spear missions they do.
In the public's mind, Special Forces are often confused with the 'door kickers' of Special Operations Forces - such as SEAL Team 6 and Delta Force - who are the United States' elite counterterrorism operators.
When I joined the SEALs, no one knew what a SEAL was. What intrigued me was the level of commitment, the love of country and desire to be the best in the world at your vocation. Watching American exceptionalism in action.
All SEALS in my mind are equally elite. It doesn't matter if you're SEAL Team Two, One, Six, 10, it doesn't matter. All SEALS are equally elite.
Special ops isn't the answer to everything. Special ops is not the main guard.
For Black Label Special Opps, adversity is what you thrive on. General Patton is a huge fan favorite in Black Label.
Part of the attraction of the SEAL teams was the incredible tests that it offered.
The SAS Reserve tends to be made up of former paratroopers and commandos who still want a challenge, but it is open to civilians.
I've always been fascinated with Navy SEALs in general and their role in Afghanistan in particular.
