Wiki, worthless....funny but worthless
Anyone see a problem with the current Wiki page? 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...ations_Command
Subordinate units
[edit] U.S. Army Special Forces Command (Airborne) (USASFC)
The United States Army Special Forces, also known as Green Berets, is a Special Operations Force (SOF) of the United States Army tasked with five primary missions: unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance, direct action, and counter-terrorism. These missions make Special Forces unique in the U.S. military, because they are employed throughout the three stages of the operational continuum: peacetime, conflict and war.
The current USASFC(A) CSM is MSG(Ret) Jeff Hinton.
Special Forces Command's Unconventional Warfare capabilities provide a viable military option for a variety of operational taskings that are inappropriate or infeasible for conventional forces, making it the U.S. military's premier unconventional warfare force.
Foreign Internal Defense operations, SF's main peacetime mission, are designed to help friendly developing nations by working with their military and police forces to improve their technical skills, understanding of human rights issues, and to help with humanitarian and civic action projects.
Often SF units are required to perform additional, or collateral, activities outside their primary missions. These collateral activities are coalition warfare/support, combat search and rescue, security assistance, peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, humanitarian de-mining and counter-drug operations.

Whoever updated that Wiki page works for US Army Special Operations Command according to the IP address last used to update the entry. Pretty funny none the less.

CSM AND MSG.....E9 + E8 = ........so does that make you an E-17 then....what does an E17 get paid these days. 
Mind you, I think Wiki works in a way that pretty much anyone can make changes and the guy who "owns" the page gets alerted. You should find it disapears in a day or two.
The change record shows this
(cur) (prev) 20:12, 9 November 2009 204.34.247.9 (talk) (12,434 bytes) (undo)
From IP Address 204.34.247.9
This IP Address is owned by USASFC.
Somebody a SWC has a little to much free time on their hands perhaps.
You can change it immediately if you like. Mind you if you leave it on there long enough you might get a raise in your pention.

It's a new directive from the Pentagon. It's a G-2 and a G-3 combined, making a G-5 op-tec-glitch.
CSM AND MSG make a MMG
Ladies and Gents,
I present to you the NEW MMG and the PS.com glee club......

Interestingly, there was another change from the same IP Address back in June:

Spot the difference...
