Why does Department of the Navy get 6 slots, and SF doesn't get any?
Gotta love that disclaimer, though:

P.S. This list, as i mentioned above, isn’t representing official list, and it’s only list in my point of view. I don’t care if you agree or not agree, just avoid to send me spam mails.

Is this a serious publication, and if so, who's the editor?

Four out of the top ten are Marine units.
I thought they weren't even SOF till six or eight years ago. 
ANGLICO, but no SF. Hmm.

ANGLICO and Fleet AT Security team? Really? But no SF? Who the efe wrote this? Talk about bias (or ignorance).
I also like how pretty much every comment is that the guy who wrote that is a douche.

No Cav-Scout?
That reads like a DoN press release.

Consider the source - it's E5 at best.

Just more reading fodder for X-Box crowd.
The author is from "Special - Ops. org". and uses the tag line "Elite Magazine For Elite Warriors". Uh, really? I can see it now, the Elite Warriors sitting around, doing shots of jack, high fiving and smoking Cuban cigars after taking down another bad guy, one Elite Warrior calls out across the room, "Hey Hacksaw! Have you read the latest blog on Special Ops. org?" "F**k ya bro, that shit's elite!" Damn, where do I subscribe?
IMHO any type of list like that would have to be broken down even further in order to warrant any serious discussion. For example maybe broken down into sub lists like SOF - DA/CT, SOF - Intell, SOF - Force Pro, SOF - UW, SOF - CSAR. Then maybe some of the USMC SOF would rate showing up on a "list". 
I find it interesting that the ISA is #5. Hell, before that dousche-nozzle (can't think of his name off the top of my head) did that graphic novel comic book about them most people had no idea they were even around - much less what they actually do (which is still, fortunately, very much misunderstood).

How many of those units rode by horseback into an AO, organized and trained a guerrilla force, fought the established regime, over-threw the regime and established a new government/country?
