operator as fuck
Haha they definitely were. I just sat in an office providing intel updates that they occasionally swiped for operations.
Even their fucking dog was more OAF then I was.

guys in center is CIA and the other 2 are SAS
Yes, it's called Special Activities Division. Obviously not as glamorous as James Bond, but they do send their guys into hot zones. I think they recruit quite a few former special forces troops.So the CIA actually does have guys that get their hands dirty? Is it possible that people like Michael Westen and James Bond actually do exist?
JTF2 serves the same function as British SAS, Australian SASR or New Zealand NZSAS. We also have a similar unit to 75th Rangers in the form of Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR). I know one guy retired from CSOR working as a paramedic in Alberta.GHOST
Is Canada the only Commonwealth Nation without SAS, does our JTF2 work in the same parameters as SAS, and are they as elite as non British SAS?
I dont know much about the military, but I think this situation calls for brute, massive force (as in massive bombing) instead of special forces operations. What are the special forces supposed to do here?
I have to ask as well .. what the heck are special forces(I'm assuming they are not that big of a group ?) going to accomplish against hundreds or thousands of heavily armed maniacs .. the only thing I can think of is providing intelligence to aid the aerial bombings ?
that can be arranged
Nope, there are plenty of books written by ex-Delta members. Quite a few of them went to movie consulting or tactical training field after their stints were over.

So is this Special Activities Division essentially doing the same thing as the other Special forces branches?
Why do they even have that though? Why not just have army or navy special forces just do it for them? Would that not be cheaper?
and why does the Navy have a special operations that operate on land anyways? The navy is suppose to fight at sea.

The special forces teams are trained, and designed, for different things. Green Berets do different things than SEALs who do different things than Delta.
I'm sure it is the same with the CIA. They probably have different legal hurdles as well.

Thanks.
Because it requires tens of thousands of men with proper armor and air support to recapture those cities in Iraq. Manpower the West isn't willing to commit and Iraqi government can't properly support/train. Special forces are not rambos, and they're not much better than regulars in conventional battles. In fact, a mechanized infantry company would hand a special forces team of equal size their asses on a plate in a direct battle.So we American, Uk and Australian special forces in our embassies... why don't we just clean up the problem?

Very active unit and very good. Got to do a trip to Kabul with one of their guys. Really laid back dude, cool as hell.
