Special Operations Forces have become the magic swiss army knife of two consecutive administrations. They are taking on the imprint of each. If Rumsfeld could have had a SPECOPS only military, he would have.

It sounds like they want to remake all of SPECOPS in the image of the Green Berets, with Samantha Power as the Eminence Grise.
