I like how USSOF looks like a bunch of lee valley models with manicured beards and fancy gear, meanwhile CANSOF is over here looking like straight up hobos.

[blitzkriegfritz]

It’s called “blending in” something Americans never really did in the middle East. The Canadians just read the street a little better and start looking like the local population.

[alternative-munster]

It’s true. Locals took to some contingents better then others since they appeared more respectable from their perspective.

[canadian-carbine]

Sorry, what was that about Americans never blending in? Here’s a pic of Delta Force in Tora Bora in 2001. They knew how to blend in from day 1. I just posted the pic because I thought it was funny how unkept our SOF guys are. It wasn’t intended to drag USSOF through the mud. Those dudes are the best of the best.

The following is a list of United States Navy UDT/SEALs who have laid down their lives since the outbreak of WWII:

“My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect…Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.” The Brotherhood
