what exactly makes special forces “special” compared to normal military?
In: 32
A lot of other people have answered, but I think there is a more general answer. They are special because they are chosen, trained, and equipped for niche and focused tasks. What’s often forgotten is that this often makes them perform poorly if they are used outside their focus areas. For example, the US sent SEALs to capture an airfield in Panama in the 1980s. It didn’t go well, because SEALs aren’t trained, equipped, or organized to work with that many people at once.
