This is a very thorough description of a misunderstood function of the U.S. military. Clancy shares the history, the typical functions, and, especially, the people who have made it happen. He includes a "mini-novel" at the end to describe their role at its best and to convey why we need it. It changed my opinion, somewhat, that our deployment to so many nations isn't as bad as I thought, but it didn't convince me we need to be the world's policeman. At least the role of Special Forces in other nations appears to both promote an appropriate image of America and to keep this thinly spread force sharp at a very low incremental cost. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

I left it with a sense of disappointmet, because I would have liked to learn some more about this part of the armed forces.
