Nick Turse will open your eyes about the growth of our Special Ops. It is incredible. Not only are we involved in over 100 countries, but Special Ops has embedded people in 38 government agencies in Washington and as Admiral McRaven, the head of Special Ops, has said the Washington office, “conducts outreach to academia, non-governmental organizations, industry, and other private sector organizations to get their perspective on complex issues affecting SOF.”
Also, it appears as though U.S. AID is in bed with Special Ops. Here's a quote from U.S. AID, “In Yemen, for example, our mission director has SVTCs [secure video teleconferences] with SOCOM personnel on a regular basis now...My office at U.S. AID supports SOF pre-deployment training in preparation for missions throughout the globe... I’m proud that my office and U.S. AID have been providing training support to several hundred Army, Navy, and Marine Special Operations personnel who have been regularly deploying to Afghanistan, and we will continue to do that.”
Now I can sleep better knowing how protected we are.
