SF, terrorism, & politics

I fully 100% support President Bush's vision regarding the war on
terror - stay on the offensive and defeat the enemy. I understand that
a Special Forces enlistment is 5 years long and President Bush will
only be in office for 2 more years. I believe that selection and
training in the Special Forces takes at least 2 years. My point is
this, if the next US president is weak on national security and does
not support a strong military, esp. special operations, or if he lacks
an aggressive solution to terrorism, how does that affect the missions
and recruitment of Special Forces?

How does your role as elite warriors change depending on politics and
White House administration? What are your thoughts on the future of
special ops and terrorism? Does it really hinge on presidential
policy? What would happen if an anti-military president and congress
were elected? What do you guys think?
