Brian:
Please introduce yourself in the proper place here before you start asking for info. You might peruse the stickies and intros as well.
Despite what Hollywood may think, you will find that SF soldiers are generally not as portrayed on screen, with one exception. That is that very few SF soldiers like to talk about what they have done, especially with the media. I would venture to say that you should check the background of any source you encounter willing to share stories with you, chances are, he either wasn't there or isn't SF.
I would also concur that the proper point of entry to talk to any soldiers still on AD who served in OEF is the USASOC PAO. The command takes a very dim view of soldiers providing impromptu interviews with media personnel, and will probably take action against them.
The first day to day task in a combat zone is survival.
Have a very SF Day.
