They are Burning up SEALS!

The Ranter
The Ranter

The site has a slightly different look to it. I was tired of having that limited space in the center right to post in, so I opened up the code a bit. It gives a bit more breathing room to it.

Now on to our regularly scheduled rantings and ravings of the resident madman.

The military is misusing special operations forces and according to one source, Burning up SEALS! The military tried something different this time when hitting Iraq in their blitzkrieg fashion; they superimposed special operations units into standing frontline combat units, augmenting their area of responsibility.

No longer were small man teams going off into the unknown with a headset attached to God via a satellite hook-up. The problem with taking special operations warriors which the government has invested multi-million dollars into insuring they can perform to the standards and tasks they are assigned is they tend to become targets along with the rest of the advancing soldiers.

W. Thomas Smith Jr. wrote in the NRO(National Review Online) an article discussing the death of one warrior, a Navy SEAL, Petty Officer 2nd Class Marc Alan Lee, after the article Smith stated, “some members of the Naval Special Warfare community are telling me he did not have to die, with one officer contending, “they’re burning up SEALs.

Smith went on to quote a says Reserve SEAL Commander Mark Divine, Special Operations warriors are not dispensable assets,” says Reserve SEAL Commander Mark Divine, who has been to Iraq several times and was tasked with evaluating the performance of a new Marine Corps special operations force during its developmental stages in 2004. “It will take two years to replace Lee with another combat-ready SEAL. The SEAL community is undermanned as it is, and it is the Navy’s number-one recruiting priority.”

A new concept the military is attempting is not the proper manner in which to deploy special operations personnel and if continued will only tear apart the most important factor of the units, the individuals assigned to them.

In the 1960 era the special operation warrior were the red-headed step-Child of the military and hated by most officers of a command rank. The new military and the new Special Operations Command Center, SOCOM has changed all that and if current operations are continued it will destroy everything that has been built.
