Re: Stop issuance of the Green Beret to the U.S. Army 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade.

The Navy seal seem to be seeing a lot of action in the Mountains of Afghanistan and and not so much about the Special Forces these days. Seems to me that there is some political castration going on. Maybe it's just some old Army loyalty and Navy rivalry in me ... But it just seems like the SEALs are getting jobs the Special Forces used to do. Things just aren't the same as they used to be 40 years ago.
I don't know why certain branches get certain assignments, but the SEALs are special forces. IIRC, each branch is represented. Even the Marine Corps had their Force Recon unit added to SOCOM a few years back. However, I don't think the Coasties are in there yet.
