I am in no way calling CF useless or ...Trashhauler,<br />I am in no way calling CF useless or unable to adapt. My hyperbole was meant to convey that, until CF does adapt, I do not advocate placing SOF under CF control. I also am not convinced that our current C2 configuration needs to be changed; it's ugly but it works.<br />Two other quick points:<br />I poke fun at CF (via the Infantry) for its leadership style, but I'll be the first to admit that exercising command and control over an infantry company is totally different than exercising the same over a SOF unit. Let the Infantry figure out the best way to accomplish its mission--but allow SOF the same latitude.<br />Second, watch how many CF guys who would calmly proclaim "mission first" at getting SOF put under their control would turn apoplectic at being told they were losing "their" guys to go under SOF control.<br />Wasn't trying to disparage anybody (well, except for that fuckstick SGM), just kicking back a little at a concept I oppose.Boss Mongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489288472299210881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769635128890326564.post-82713797952562344262009-06-23T09:38:12.618-07:002009-06-23T09:38:12.618-07:00"Conventional Forces, represented here by the..."Conventional Forces, represented here by the Infantry, are regimented, hierarchical, and inflexible."<br />____________<br /><br />First of all, we're talking degrees here. The CF might be less flexible than SF, but there is no reason to paint them as being useless or unable to adapt.<br /><br />We'll never have enough SF to cover the entire war, so using SF is the paradigm is always going to be an awkward fit.Trashhaulernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769635128890326564.post-25657058701720706542009-06-19T21:39:10.368-07:002009-06-19T21:39:10.368-07:00For once someone has hit nail on the head.
