Why do some women want to join the marines and special forces in combat roles? I have come to accept males are much stronger and faster than women and I don't think women should be in combat roles in the marines or special forces.

Looking at it realistically, since the special forces only take the best, I dont think there is any female that would make it. The strongest men will easily beat out the strongest women.

Looking for a job like special forces but not connected to the military? I have always been interested in special forces and all the cool missions they do. My dilemma is that I dont have this strong 100% feeling yet to commit to the military. I am wondering if there are jobs out there that include cool missions like covert operations and such that are not tied to the military. For example Counter terrorism teams maybe in the government, etc. If you know of any please post the job title and the agency, employer, etc. Thanks and hope you all can understand this question. I already know all about SWAT teams so please dont post them as one. I'm trying to stay more into the government area but if you know of any state/local jobs like I described thats good too. Thanks again. For all of you focused entirely on the word "cool" as I used to describe covert missions rather than the question itself you must first understand the meaning of cool and where im coming from. First of all "cool" is a slang word. Secondly it means excellent, superlative, great. And lastly when I use "cool" to describe missions I am speaking in terms of jumping out of planes, the specific equipment selected and used during the mission, and the covertness used in the mission. Sorry for your misunderstanding of the word "cool". It has different meanings to different people because it is a slang word. Remember that folks.

Why do people think Special Forces are the best fighters? Usually people who don't know much about fighting try to argue with me that special forces are top of the line hand-to-hand fighters! But the reality is that special forces practice the basic hand-to-hand fighting techniques. Instead they focus more on weapons, inflitration, scouting, and surviving off the land/water etc. My point is when it comes to hand-to-hand a experienced MMA guy for example can easily beat a special force guy in a one-on-one fight with no weapons involved. And don't talk shit about Special Force guys know eye gauging, hitting the groin etc. Because EVERYONE has it in them to use those techniques WHETHER they train those moves or not! A martial artist of anyone style could resort to using the same "street" techniques! Agree or disagree? Shooter, Are you a retard! I said a MMA guy vs. a Special Force guy IN A FIGHT WITH NO WEAPONS! How is that unfair for the Special force guy? That fact is DUMB people like you are the reason why people think Special Force guys are the best hand-to-hand fighters! Petro, Your another stupid idiot! What makes you losers think that a MMA fighter can't kill someone in a street fight! You people are useless morons! You answer shows a lack of understanding what real fightiers are! Petro, You are another dumb idiot! Your answer shows your lack of understanding what a real fighter is! A MMA fighter could kill someone on the street you fairy!

Is it possible to get into Army Special Forces if you wear glasses? [Note: I am using my dad's account.] A friend told me that you are immediately ineligible for Army Special Forces if you have any means of vision correction. Is this true?

Looking for a job like special forces but not tied to military? I have always been interested in special forces and all the cool missions they do. My dilemma is that I dont have this strong 100% feeling yet to commit to the military. I am wondering if there are jobs out there that include cool missions like covert operations and such that are not tied to the military. For example Counter terrorism teams maybe in the government, etc. If you know of any please post the job title and the agency, employer, etc. Thanks and hope you all can understand this question. I already know all about SWAT teams so please dont post them as one. I'm trying to stay more into the government area but if you know of any state/local jobs like I described thats good too. Thanks again. For all of you focused entirely on the word "cool" as I used to describe covert missions rather than the question itself you must first understand the meaning of cool and where im coming from. First of all "cool" is a slang word. Secondly it means excellent, superlative, great. And lastly when I use "cool" to describe missions I am speaking in terms of jumping out of planes, the specific equipment selected and used during the mission, and the covertness used in the mission. Sorry for your misunderstanding of the word "cool". It has different meanings to different people because it is a slang word. Remember that folks.

What special forces training is the toughest? OK, I know that the special forces have lots of criteria: be smart, speak a bunch of languages, be mentally tough, etc. From a pure physical sense, however, what training is the toughest, and why? Thanks.

Who honestly thinks American Special Forces are better than the SAS/SBS ? I have seen American "special" Forces fall over branches or stand on twigs and bring down the wrath of the enemy. Their worst side is refusing to talk in local lingo and attracting the suspicions of the locals. American special forces couldn't beat my Granny in a fight. My niece and her friends make less noise than a bunch of yankee special forces soldiers. It is all toooo easy to defend against them. They have NO clue how to recce and fight. Give me the German (ironic, I know I know ) special forces any day. Now they are tough but cool and intelligent cookies. Unlike the Yank "Let's blow everything up and kill everything in sight regardless of whom they are" special forces. I thought my point was obvious. The Yanks are creating more trouble than fixing with their "special" forces and don't start me on the regular army. The stories I could tell you about the stupid antics of American Rangers or Delta Morons from personal experience. The biggest issue is they have NO interest in the locals...that is their first and usually the last mistake. Did I give any details of ops you total MORON. I am not stupid. Drunk, yes, from a bad op that included you bunch of total idiots but i am NOT stupid. NO details and yes they are monitored from my base. It is called Intranet Security. Maybe you guys never heard of it like "Hearts and Minds" and "Not killing everything in site".

What are my chances of getting into Rangers/Special Forces? I got a 93 on the ASVAB and look at the PT test that the Army issues, the one based on the perfect score of 300, and I could get 280. Also I'm going into ROTC and finishing college at the University of Kentucky getting a BS in Biology. There's one hitch I'm low degree red/green colorblind, meaning I can't see certain shades of red and green. I recenlty found out that if you can see vivid reds and greens then you can do the whole airborne, Rangers, Special Forces, thing. I've wanted to be a Ranger my whole life and would also like to be Special Forces if anyone knows anybody that's been in either and can help.
