isn't this more of a US special forces article than special forces in general? --James
- The name "Special Operations Forces" (notice the capitals) refers to a particular division of the US armed forces. Yes, there should be a general article on "commandos" or "special forces". --Robert Merkel
That's a common mispercetion, especially lately, what with the media referring to SOF as "Specail Forces." What many people seem to mean by "special forces" is actually any unit of the US Military with an "exotic" mission.
