Best special forces unit we have. Parachutists, divers, emergency field trauma surgeons, small arms specialists, satellite communications and rescue coordination, all in one. They are amazing men and women, knew some in an earlier life. We were in awe of them.

That dirtbags like Trump and Hegseth and Netanyahu can so wastefully put these tremendous people, not to mention the air crews they risk their lives to save, in the ultimate peril in this fiasco is, literally, a crime
