Special forces “have captured or killed more terrorists per capita than any unit in the global war on terror,” Herd told a ceremony to mark the end of his nine-month stint at Camp Vance, saying the figure was around 100 militants.
Per capita? Wow.

Still want to quit?

You have been corresponding with us for a while, Counsel.

Did you think that we were "Average Forces"?

My boys and I had the distinct pleasure of helping to establish one of these camps. It's pretty amazing to watch an ODA work in a setting like that, the team leader was one helluva politician and played the local elders like violins.
