I agree, but who is listening and where is the chain of command's indorsement for this? This shouldn't be a BFO from Sean Naylor but a position paper by USSOCOM indorsed by all the component commanders.
And I love this quote:
But many SF officers feel that U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) has left them in the dark about how it plans to deliver on the QDR's promise to expand the number of SF battalions by a third over the next several years. They are deeply concerned that, despite the generals' protestations to the contrary, a rushed expansion of Army special operations forces will result in an SF contingent that, while bigger on paper, will contain half-filled units manned by troops who are less mature, less experienced and less skilled in languages and foreign cultures than SF soldiers traditionally have been.
If they are so damned concerned who are they, where are they, and why aren't they standing on top of their bosses desks. It's time to stand up and be counted and stop placing your career ahead of your men. This crap about some "group commander having to take a brick and make it fly" shows the cut off point between the managers and the leaders. This is command negligence.
