Army special forces? - Military Activism & Advocacy

Jenn026 · 11-03-2009, 11:55 AM

What do they do? What's the difference between special forces and infantry? I'd really appreciate any information anyone has.

Anyone? Please help!

That's what a friend of mine is doing. He hasn't been able to talk to me much lately, since he is on a mission, so i have no idea what that entails.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but no one is going to openly post about being SF or Spec Ops and what they do on a public board.

Oh ok thanks for the heads up. Like I said, i have no idea what they do so I wouldn't have known if this is an OPSEC issue, kwim? Of course that makes me even more curious

If anyone has any info, and if it wouldn't be against OPSEC, that you don't mind sharing, please feel free to PM me.

That should give you some kind of hint on what they do.
