my Son tried Selection twice. Made it untill Team week the second time but pulled out. I consider him physically a stud. PT Tests he passed easily. 97 on the ASVAB. But the mental site during the selection process is really something special. As a german with my Son being born during my Expat time I am still very proud that he even tried. He was a shy introvert boy when he left. Today serving in the 82nd he is a great guy.

My childhood dream was of being in the Canadian Infantry. I made it all the way through the application stage and was waiting for my basic training troop/ being sworn in and start date. Then I received a letter in the mail saying I am banned for life from joining because I have Chron’s disease and can appeal in court. I was devastated. That was a different season of my life, I have moved on. But I will always respect those who serve and what they do for us. Who knows what my life would have been like had I gone down this path.

Especially living out of fighting holes in Afghanistan during the winter and rain season. No proper cold weather gear either. That’s not something you can prepare for but it makes you mentally tougher. I’m not saying I’m a badass by any means but you need to always build on top of tough situations you’ve been through.

Everyone should have to do 2 years of military service after high school. Rich, poor, elite, etc. Everyone. No exceptions. Even if you can’t fight you can do something somewhere. Drive a truck. Fix a truck. Administrative work. Something. I guarantee we would be better and more unified as a society and would be in a hell of a lot fewer dumb wars. We would also pay a hell of a lot more attention to who we voted for.

[@LRRPFco52]

Most other nations have compulsory service and still send their troops off to war and UN missions. I'm not sure it would change much, other than deprive people from their freedom to choose military life or not.

Because there are a ton of Support people who wear a green beret -- but they are absolutely NOT green beret OPERATORS, The number of actual Special Forces Operators on A-Teams and B-Teams is much lower. SEAL units have more men than SF. Ranger units have less than SF - but more in reserve spread throughout the Infantry,

Bro look at delta selection if you wanna cry about attrition rate. It’s on another level

[@Midnitedreary88]

@@gman21266 Anybody who is wearing the Green Beret has passed SFAF and the Q course. Now, the ones that go into support groups or ODAs is a different conversation but anyone wearing a GB has passed selection. And, to my knowledge the 75th Rangers don’t have reserves. The point I’m making is I think Tim grossly exaggerated the attrition rate for SF… I think out of 400 men 160 are selected and maybe they lose another 20 guys during Q course. There are over 10k active duty green berets so his numbers are impossible

[@alphalimacharlie3489]

@@gman21266 Literally everything in your comment is wrong. Support MOS in Group wear a maroon beret not the Green Beret. There are no Ranger reserve units and there is only one Ranger unit and it’s the 75th Ranger Regiment.

[@alphalimacharlie3489]

He’s way over exaggerating the attrition. The actual attrition is around 50-60% percent. People over exaggerate SOF attrition. For example if you take the whole Ranger (pre rasp and RASP) pipeline it’s a 16% success rate but in reality it’s around a 55% to 60% attrition for most classes.
