So, it's now official: 10th Special Forces is getting a 4th Battalion.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Please keep in mind that these are just my opinions and I they may be skewed from my own life experiences.

Here is what I see: EVERYONE moving towards the "include all" and "everyone is a winner".

In public schools: TAG programs now must include all folks including those mentally challenged.

In public sports: Athletics must take the fat boy who wouldn't normally be able to make the team due to fear of discrimination charges.

In work life: Companies must hire a certain quota of ethincities (regardless of who is "better" on paper) to maintain EEOC compliance, etc.

And I can go on and on. It seems to me that there isn't anymore elitism and I honestly believe that there should be. Someone SHOULD be the best at something, etc. If not, it loses value. If everyone had a near mint Hogus Wagner baseball card, it wouldn't be valued at 1.5 million card. Etc.

With this new battalion, yes they'll get more people and be able to serve in larger capcities etc... But the SF hold a special place.... Adding more people to that elite group seems like it's caving to the pressures of "everyone must be included".

Remember this: Nothing good comes from losing, except without it, winning means nothing.

First they take away the "special status" from the elite bands (AF academy, Pershings, etc.) in the military and now this... No wonder they're having a hard time recruiting. God I wish I could've served my country... Eh, I need some caffiene.
