| Abstract
|
:
|
"The soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines of the U.S. Special Operations Command are the cutting edge of America's war against radical Islamic terror. They--and their 'civilian' counterparts in the CIA and DEA-- are uniquely equipped to bring extraordinary force to bear against our nation's enemies in the most difficult and dangerous places on earth."
