This is very true, and the main reason why I suplimented my military training with traditional arts. Most self defense senarios on the street aren't life and death situations. I felt that I needed a more well rounded backround to give me optoins in a street fight other than killing someone. I understood that my choices affect my family, not just myself, and that spending the rest of my life in prison would put undue strain and hardship on my wife and kids as well. Because of this, I sought out more traditional arts (japanese, okinawan, and chinese) and after 10+ years of training in a more traditional setting, have turned to JKD. It is my bridge between the SF style kill or be killed mentality and the less forceful (but just as good) more traditional world. Training in a traditional dojo senario isn't always realistic, but neither is thinking that every conflict will result in death. Mahalo, Jeremy |

I would say a lot of warriors in the military aren't in special operations forces, I mean you could be a basic infantry troop who fights hard and is brave; that is a warrior too I'd think.
Your national guard troops and reservists over there, who just got pulled in a conflict cuz they are in it for $$$, I wouldn't necessarily call warriors though. By the way, the Special Forces are of the Army (the "Green Berets"). The others are all Special Operations Forces (i.e. Delta Force, Rangers, Marine Force Recon, Air Force Pararescue, etc...). |

The army is special warfare, the marine force recon and navy seals fall under spec. warfare for the dept. of the Navy, either tacron 21 or tacron 22, depending on which coast the team is stationed on.
Sf for the army also refers to rangers and delta as well as a huge group of psyops guys.

Socom, or special operations command, is the most generic term used so far on this thread and isn't exclusive to the Navy, but is used when special forces from more that one branch are working teoghter in a joint operation. They used the name for the video games because the Dept. of the Navy wouldn't give them permission to use the name tacron.
