<p>Pretty cool, my cousin just made me aware of this. Here’s a link to one photo; My caption: “How many Pollocks does it take to change a light bulb is the wrong question” (these are Polish Army Special Forces tasked with our own Navy SEALs in Iraq) <a href=“Militaryphotos.net”>Militaryphotos.net;
<p>I like this one too, particularly with Karzai in the states right now. You just gotta love the 5th SFG…I know I do. You can see why it ticks me off when people refer to U.S. troops as “our kids.” That’s a serious bunch of men. The whole site is worth a serious cruise if you have any interest at all in who is doing our heavy lifting in the GWoT.

You’re the only one here to have posted those words that you find offensive, genius. I hear that some members of the Codfish family are offended by Pollock [sic], but who knows?<br>
The original point stands–but you apparently will have to dig deeper to get it.</p>
<p>Glad you liked it! Here’s another great shot of our “kids,” one of my favorites. I’m not 100% sure, but I think the older man at the lower left of this pic is Billy Waugh–a Special Forces legend–who went into A-stan with the first SF units as a liason with the CIA paramilitary groups (his employer at the time of this photo). He was a SOG recon team leader in Vietnam, stalked UBL during the 90s, and instigated the capture of Carlos the Jackal in Sudan. A one-man Mossad. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting him face to face, but I’ve exchanged emails with him—he seems like such a sweet old guy, you’d never guess the things he’s been involved in. His recent book “Hunting the Jackal” is a fascinating look into the shadow wars.</p>
<p>Re the photo linked in # 11–I’ve just been told that the man with his hand over the stars on the flag–fourth from the left–is none other than John Mulholland, at that time, Colonel and commanding officer of the 5th SFG(A), currently Brigadier General in command of all US Army Special Forces.</p>
