WOW there sure is a lot of you guys!
(I'm thinking those numbers include the clerks, cooks, riggers, mechanics, weather guys, intell, CA, PSYOP and the Special Operations Suppy Battalion.  )
The article is "very" poorly written by a "reporter" that knows nothing about U.S. Special Operations.
If we had 13,000 Green Berets in any two countries the war would be over toot sweet.
