[@MrJinglejanglejingle]

Help the average American, and they'll likely remember that shit forever. Just don't pay much attention to those vocal minorities that get huffy about being helped, or the like. I still recall people who have helped me decades later. There are people that remember me from nearly a decade ago purely by the sound of my voice and the rumble of my vehicle's engine. Context: Out-of-towners stranded in the middle of nowhere. Cougar country, bear country, venomous snake country. The whole shebang. Car's outta gas, its X-mas Eve. I come rumbling through, and note the vehicle sitting there with four people walking around it. Stop, ask what's up. "Outta gas". "If you got money, I'll take you to the nearby gas station" "N-no, that's alright, thanks, though!" Clearly, don't trust a stranger offering help. Good instinct, honestly. Better safe than sorry. So, I decide to mosey up the road... Feel bad that I couldn't help 'em... So, fuck it. Go to the station, fill the gas can with $40 of fuel, skitter on back. Turns out, they only needed about half of the fuel to fill the tank, but... Hey, they got to get going on to their X-Mas party, and I got to go home feelin' good. Never got my name, never got their's. I get back from a 5-year journey in Europe, and as I drive into a gas station, a group of four wander up and ask me if I'm that same guy that helped 'em. S'good, wholesome stuff.

Turns out it was the left-behind us troops. And he proceeded to take as many as he can with them on the humvee, with still left 10 men or so on foot. So what the f are you talking about?

This operation goes to show that sometimes as special as a special operators or special forces are, when the operation went sideways and men are getting killed, they will always need a Quick Reaction Force from normal troops outside their command jurisdiction, because sometimes they have heavier firepower and vehicles to get the SF or SOF guys out.

[@chinqlinq89]

@@danielschmidt7153 The largest part in their training & success is their mental toughness. Many 'normal' infantrymen and military men that tryout for special forces units are all well conditioned physically, or else they'd be denied just from a first glance. The low acceptance rates is because the one's that make it through went above and beyond the pain and physical and mental torture that the selection process is made to weed out. That is why they're given the high risk and covert missions that can't always depend on a large force to complete because it would attract a lot more attention, take a lot more time to plan and take action, etc. This is why they're viewed by the civilian public, and also by many others in the military as 'superheroes'. They also gain exponentially more combat experience than a 'regular' infantryman in the Marines or Army. They may take on 1 or more high risk missions in a single night, night after night. That gives them the luxury of also working alongside the best of the best, whether it be Air Force helicopter pilots, Army Rangers, Air Force Combat Controllers & Pararescue's, etc.

@@stupidminotaur9735 a peacekeeping force that requires tanks and gunships is quite a contradiction don’t you think? It’s also not as simple as you make it out to be. The Americans underestimated the militia and did not take the situation as anything but routine. The militia exploited this. Prior to this the Americans had performed a number of similar daylight raids, extremely quick airborne raids with little planning, with one that also almost involved the shoot down of a Blackhawk as well. This was a specific tactic to deal with American special forces and they failed to recognise and respond to this. There was a significant gap in planning and communication between the QRF and task force ranger, with the QRF only being informed of the goals of the mission 20 minutes prior. As pointed out in the video, Malaysian and Pakistan forces were not informed at all. Finally, the task force left the heavy weapons that they had access to back at base anyway such as m203s and mk23 grenade launchers for the humvees because they were concerned about their use in the city. Tanks might have enabled the QRF to arrive faster but that would only be compensating for these issues mentioned
