Spec Ops forces are tremendously productive, and while expensive cost less and work better than RMA firepower techniques that kill the wrong people and make fresh enemies. They are suited for the WoT and we need more of them.

Indeed. I frequent an army ranger board that gets a lot of feedback from our young people in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's amazing their depth of knowledge of the Islamic mindset they're battling. More than a few, now on their second and third tours, are even speaking passable Arabic. "Know thy enemy."

BTW Our special ops people in Afghanistan, working in conjunction with air support, have taken out more than 17,000 terrorists. That figure is probably conservative.
