Repeat
Since the show was a repeat what makes you think you were the first to find it?
Search before starting a new thread.

If he used the search button at all and "Spetz" I'll bet he didn't turn up much.
But if he would have used "Spetsnaz" he would have found
http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...light=Spetsnaz
and much, much more.

Must be a reunion of the Fightin' 40711 Wheel-Reinventors (CBT) (HVY) (PROV) in town - anybody got an e-tire iron we can use on them?

Do's anyone have the Motivational Poster picture. It shows a Spetsnaz jumping thru a Hoop of Fire with an Axe. The caption.
"Spetsnaz, when you absolutly have to jump thru a Hoop of Fire in order to kill a Terrorist with an Axe"

An interesting observation, isn't the 5th SFG flash from the Vietnam era retired and today the 5th SFG flash is just plain black with white edges ?
The 5th SFG has a rich history, just like all the SF groups have a rich history.
History will continue to be written by the Quiet Professionals around the globe.
Realistically, It may look cool to have the berets on during a fire fight but the army helmets would be worn in combat.
The beret would be worn at a ceremony, the office or the barracks.
At least Spike TV keeps things interesting with beautiful ladies shown on t.v. once in a while.

Hardwork, a QP has asked you to slow down and consider whether your posts are adding anything to the conversation.
You are a guest in our house, and are stepping on some toes.
Frankly, you are starting to get on my nerves as well.
I do not know if you are missing the operational environment here, are trying to build up your post count, or just don't get it.
Stop posting. Stop starting threads.
Think about why you want to post. If it isn't really adding anything to the conversation, don't say it. You will never regret something you didn't actually say. For example, I do not need your comments on all things military, since you have zero experience in the matter. Your comments on the 5th Group and the flash are addressed elsewhere.
Look around at other long-term non-QPs, as well as those who did not last here, and consider why.
This will be your final warning.

It is easy to ask a question but you learn little. You will learn more by doing a little homework - no cut and paste.
Your next post on this site will be your homework assignment.
Give a report on the history of the 5th Group Flash. In this thread.
I'm sending this in a PM to be sure you got it.

Yeah, but at the rate he's going his "Snowflake" is about to experience a blast furnace.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Have you watched this? This is hilarious! Especially the break-dancing at 1:16 with negligent discharge (again at at 1:40!)
Pretty nice climbing wall. Watch how they climb the stairs, I was hoping for a freefall demo too 
and then again. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr9X-...1&feature=fvwp . . . except for the equipment, they have a very familiar look about them.
