re: #787 LGoPs

No. SOF didn’t storm Omaha Beach. They didn’t win the Battle of the Bulge or finally defeat the Nazis.
SOF has it’s specially defined purposes but is more a surgical tool used for work requiring finesse rather than blunt force.
My analogy applies to winning the big battle, not specialized small unit missions.

Exactly…and in each of those cases…without SOF…there might not have been the opportunity to win those big battles.

Regardless, while I understand your view (and my wife agrees with you) I still think we have to get out of the knife fight mentality…otherwise we’ll devolve from knife fighting to gunfighting, to TANK fighting to all out TNW…and nobody wins.
