"The typical OG Team was described as "a small self-sufficient band of men who might be required to live and fight in the manner of guerrillas."
The OSS commandos were bilingual or multilingual, speaking the language and understanding the customs of the country they fought in...
The men, many of whom were drawn from the ranks of US Army paratroopers, numbered among the best trained and best equipped troops in the American military. In short, OSS's commandos were America's first Special Forces."
Operatives, Spies, and Saboteurs-Patrick K. O'Donnell
I am only on pager 59 of this book and already it is worth the money. If you are interested in the subject, I recommend it highly.

Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.
Still want to quit?
