I'm not too sure about that one...especially as the budget shifts and if USSOCOM remains fiscally in better shape than many other MACOMs. And never forget how the ego of one person looking for ( *?* ) can gain support and drive an organization's growth in ways never intended or foreseen. The SO and Intelligence communities have both experienced this, as well as the bureaucracies overseeing them, and now there are those within and without who are openly noodling the idea of a resurgent OSS. And who knows where all this will lead.

JMHO - Never say never...and I don't think this seahorse is quite dead yet.
