Seals have no business in Afghanistan except to protect the ships that support the mission. Marine Recon and Army Special Forces and Rangers are quite able to handle the mission without elitist Seals getting in the way.
I'll go tell my local VA guy (ex-Navy Seal) what you think. I am sure he can respond in return .
You have NO BUSINESS telling people what they should and should NOT be doing. You know what? Don't even attempt to do something in the military if you think what YOU think is going to work out great.
You know what's funny? It doesn't matter what I think in the next 6 years. You know why? I signed a contract, and I am stuck in it. Guess what? That's fine by me, I didn't sign up with the intent to change the military, I went in and will always have, the intent to do more for myself and my community (the US of A). Yea, sure, I could tell my recruiter what I think Security Force, should be doing, but guess what? That will get me either: A) Told to shut up. or B) Told to shut up, and run a few more miles after everyone is done.
And for your information, some of these 'wishful' thinkers have served before, and you know what? I think that earns them a little respect and maybe just a little bit of credibility, so want to know what I have to say to you?

Um, you're going into the Air Force. Maybe you'll be asked to make some more coffee or run off some more copies instead.
