[Team Sergeant]

I’m not going to debate the merits of the golden knights as a "recruiting tool" I've no idea how effective tool they are, I can tell you I never heard of them until I was already in Special Forces. (Then again I didn’t know the US Army had a golf team, basketball team, volleyball team, sailing team, soccer team, cycling team, wrestling team, rugby team, etc etc etc etc along with a parachute team. I’m sure they are all great recruiting tools, even though I've never heard of them or knew they existed until I was already in the Army.)

I am sure there have been favors done over the years between SF and the GK’s and I’ll leave it at that.

I take offense when they are connected to US Army Special Forces as "trainers". They do not train Special Forces soldiers, they don’t jump from 35,000 and they don’t make combat equipment jumps.

The Golden Knights work for US Army Recruiting Command, period.
