Research Paper-United States Special Forces

"Almighty God, who art the author of liberty and the champion of the oppressed, hear our prayer. We, the men of Special Forces, acknowledge our dependence upon thee in the preservation of human freedom. Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless and to free the enslaved. May we ever remember that our nations, who's motto is "In God We Trust," expects that we shall acquit ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our faith, our families, or our fellow men. Grant us the wisdom from thy mind, courage from thine heart, strength from thine arm, and protection by thine hand. It is for thee that we do battle, and to thee belongs the victors crown. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever. AMEN." This is the prayer of the United States Special Forces, they recite this prayer every single time before they leave for a mission to go and help the oppressed. These men that make up the four branches of special forces are the toughest of the tough and the best of the best. They endure rigorous training exercises such as Ranger School, Halo School and the most challenging and physically demanding Scuba School; they push themselves to the limits of the human body. These brave men willingly go and travel into the worlds worst shit holes like the deserts of Afghanistan, or the jungles of Vietnam all because they love the country they live in and they want to preserve the freedoms that they and their families cherish so much. These organizations are working together to change the world by taking the title of United States Special Forces and preserving this countries rights and freedoms that we all cherish and value so much as well as helping America maintain the status and reputation of the super power of this world as we know it. The majority of the special operations and or special forces units go through the same training as each other do

    As a former president once said " And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country". Patriotism is found in every country, but it's the occupants of that country that have patriotism towards their own. This loyalty is seen in both "How to Tell a True War Story" and "Soldiers Home". Patriotism to me is one's natural right to show pride in being an American. Patriotism exists on different levels when taking into consideration people's perspective on war.…

    Mr. Lederer and Mr. Burdick wrote the Ugly American many decades ago and it is a story that holds many truths of how we act and operate in today’s society. This fictional work displayed characters that truly understood many of the Special Operation Forces (SOF) imperatives. Louis Krupitzyn, John Colvin and Major Wolchek represented the SOF imperatives of understanding the operational environment, anticipating and controlling psychological effects, operating with and through others, considering the long term effects, facilitating interagency activities, and engaging the threat discriminately. I will combine my own experiences and those of these three characters in The Ugly American. I will demonstrate how the SOF imperatives influenced their behavior and how I approached situations during my time in Special Forces.…

    I very much admire men and women who believe in a higher calling. I have a deep respect for those who are willing to put their lives in danger to protect those who may not be able to protect themselves. How awesomely honorable are those who serve and support their fellow humans? Most importantly, I am indebted to those who have given their lives for this cause. They have given us so many freedoms; our ability to walk down the street, go into a store, buy some milk, and then bring back home in peace is possible today because of the sacrifice. We move freely under the blanket of protection that uniformed members have provided for us. I can never thank you…
