You may be over thinking this LJ.

I know on other sites the discussion quickly turns to the "superiority" of one group or the other.
This is a Special Forces sight. Discussions on the superiority of other units would be pointless.
And inaccurate.
Duh.

Why would inquiring whether a certain personality or mindset is more appropriate for one group, rather than the other, be overthinking ?

You're actually thinking of basing a decision on the mindset or personality of an MOS rather than your desire to be part of that unit?
Look a at the mission of SF. If you think that's what you want to dedicate your life to, then go for it. There are all types of personalities in SF.

An odd way to put it. Either you want SF or you don't. Do some research on what SF is and does. The decision should be simple.

Here's a method LJ19

Go out side on a very cold and rainy day and stand there until the rain stops.....Close your eyes and follow the force..
