I've known a few Rangers and a Green Beret throughout the years and have to say that I fully trust them with a our lives. The special ops guys I have had the pleasure of befriending are the most solid people I have ever met.
If you met them, you'd see their overwhelming intelligence, kindness, gentleness, and generosity. Based on this, you would never guess that they are one of the most elite warriors in the world.
It is really hard to explain how strong they are mentally and how truly good-natured they are. You'll never understand until you have the pleasure of meeting one and I hope everyone gets that pleasure.
To all branches of our military: Thank you for your loyalty. The world is in your hands.
EDIT: Read the comments. Many have witnessed the same from Spec Ops. It really says a lot about our country that our elite forces are looked upon so highly by people who know them.
DoD publicly announced 2 days ago ALL DoD members are to be reminded of their oath: https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/2499033/pentagon-press-secretary-updates-reporters-on-dod-operations/source/GovDelivery/
Quotes from that announcement: "leaders have the discretion to tailor their discussions with their personnel as appropriate to their command, their location, to their operations, but that such discussions should include the importance of the oath of office that service members take, a description of impermissible behaviors and procedures for reporting suspected or actual extremist behaviors in accordance with the DOD instruction."
"some commands might want to have their members actually recite the oath again, and take it again."
Encouraging, but that could go either way.
If they told me to retake it ill tell them to fuck off. Ive done it to re enlist and when I became a lawman. Those were ceremonial. Only one oath matters. The first one you give.
No 21 Gun salute either.
I keep hearing this and was able to find obama's on youtube, it was identical. What part of ceremony are you referring to as disrespect?
