Perhaps in the "olden days" when SF was an ASI and officers of many branches wore the green beret, the idea of "SF vs. JAG ... why not both?" was possible.

But today SF is a branch. And JAG is another branch.
One is combat, one is combat service support.

Each has roles and missions; each has physical, medical, and educational requirements.

It's like saying "I want to be a lawyer ... and a helicopter pilot." Well, you can't be both to any good effect. There are no dockets in the landing pattern, and no cyclic and collective in the courtroom. Your training, physical and mental requirements, missions, equipment, and career path are all different.

Pick one, and excell.
