Got a question. I was asked a question by a guy over at the SWJ. I'll post it directly to avoid any issues with paraphrasing. The guy who asked it is a Major, who is currently at Leavenworth.

Simple question,
When the Army did wise up, why didn't the SF provide the expertise to the Ft. Riley mission, FM 3-24 team, etc? Why did they voluntarily opt out of these? Your argument about us 'Johnnie come lately's' to COIN would hold more water if SWC had offered to help the GPF get better, from most all sources I have talked to the response was "Talk to the hand, we're busy". Even today, there is little interest from JFK SWC in getting involved with big army COIN efforts. SOCOM, on the other hand, is making an excellent effort to reach out to the GPF.

He's a smart guy and I don't have an answer to this one. I was wondering if anyone here has visibility on this. I seriously doubt the SF community just blew off Big Army but I don't know what did happen. I do know from experience down range that quite a few Big Army commanders still want nothing to do with us but this is the only time I have ever heard of our community blowing off Big Army.
