America’s Elite Forces Deploy to a Record-Shattering 147 Countries in 2015
They’re some of the best soldiers in the world: highly trained, well equipped, and experts in weapons, intelligence gathering, and battlefield medicine. They study foreign cultures and learn local languages. They’re smart, skillful, wear some very iconic headgear, and their 12-member teams are “capable of conducting the full spectrum of special operations, from building indigenous security forces to identifying and targeting threats to U.S. national interests.”
They’re also quite successful. At least they think so.
WNU Editor: This is a long review of U.S. special operations and it is an update from a previous post .... U.S. Special Forces Are Currently Deployed In 135 Nations. If you have the time, it is an eye-opening read.

WNU Editor,
Tom Dispatch has been a regular read,
And being an old school blog, you can get every new Tom Dispatch sent to you e-mail as soon as it's out.
The Vietminh were originally trained by the OSS, and it came back to bit them on the ass, many of the insurgents in the Mideast were trained by the US and NATO as well, maybe the US and NATO should stop training and arming these guys. If they want to play Empire they need to keep the people they are subjugating uneducated in military arts, and unarmed. Just common sense, but what do you expect from the so called Think Tanks, rather than letting real soldiers run the show.
