Special Forces Sound Off On “Deadliest Prey”

I swear you guys never tell the older guys about current changes......



Special Forces Sound Off On “Deadliest Prey”

Never before or since has an action movie covered the sheer tenacity of a war fighter willing to do whatever it takes. This movie has served as great inspiration and enjoyment for American armed forces to take into the field of battle.

WEBWIRE – Tuesday, November 19, 2013

Hollywood, CA - For years, a certain Special Forces platoon, has watched the 1987 action film [i]Deadly Prey to get pumped up prior to deploying on missions throughout the Middle East and Afghanistan.

This Deadly Prey viewing tradition has been handed down from platoon member to platoon member over the years, or as they put it: “Never before or since has an action movie covered the sheer tenacity of a war fighter willing to do whatever it takes to right the wrong that has been done to him. This movie has served as great inspiration and enjoyment for American armed forces to take into the field of battle.”

Must be one of those "Top 10 SOF" ANGLICO units stuck in the desert without any ships to call for fire and no WiFi...
