COIN...........
I probably shouldn't be commenting on this since it's been almost 50 years since my training in COIN,however I don't understand why the soldiers(SF) who are trained in this particular mission aren't the ones given the responsibility to do it!... 
I heard on the news that Special Forces soldiers have been given missions to hunt down taliban leaders,but I can't believe we(SF) don't have enough of teams to conduct COIN........... Just an old trooper wondering why SF isn't being deployed for that mission.........

SF is a calling and it requires commitment and dedication that the uninitiated will never understand......
