Hello all,
The website (
www.professionalsoldiers.com) is useful and nicely arranged. I appreciate all those who contribute to creating and maintaining it as well as the privilege of being permitted as a guest.
I'm a 32 year old, information technology auditor for a large corporation and have no military experience. Until recently, I did not understand what "Special Forces" actually does.
I've recently read many books concerning various military units doing different things and find the tasks performed by US Army Special Forces especially interesting (Tom Clancy's "Shadow Warriors", John Plaster's "SOG", etc. [too many to name]). Aside from the tasks Special Forces are given, from what I've read, it seems these soldiers are a highly motivated and highly capable bunch of professionals who, as a group, are committed to doing the best job possible for the task at hand. That level of motivation and professionalism along with the camaraderie and feelings of altruism for my teammates is so difficult to achieve with an unwilling group in corporate America.
In any case, I'm very curious.
Thanks,
Matt
