Tim Lynch responds to my post on the overuse of special operations and special forces.  His post is entitled Special Forces are not the answer.  Here’s a taste.

    What you are looking at is an SF A team commander who is wearing his body armor over a cut off tee shit. He is going into a village he doesn’t know searching for an alleged high value target (HVT) who is known to these soldiers as ‘Red Beard’. He is operating in Khost province where every village elder dies his beard with henna; which is red….are you getting the picture?
