This has to do with Task Force 121. If you've not seen it you might be interested.

Anyone know what Marcinko ordered McRaven to do? Perhaps it was to eat some cobra venom sacs:
Cobras are all venomous, yet most are not poisonous, so long as the venom glands are not eaten.
Don't know how reliable that is. Got it here, a cobra info site for kids. Still, wouldn't advise eating venom sacs since spitting cobras can do a lot of damage to you just spitting the crap on you, like blinding you, for example.

That aside, how good is this McRaven anyway? I'm a bit suspicious of anyone Newsweek slobbers all over, especially when they start pronouncing that he's the smartest SEAL ever. Sounds like the crap we heard about Hitlery. Maybe it'd be better to have someone like Marcinko chasing bin Laden, rather than Newsweek's favorite Navy SEAL? Just asking the guys who really know!

McRaven certainly is one guy I wouldn't want hunting me! We are very fortunate to have such a wealth of talented people in our Special Ops.

Here is McRaven's book: Spec Ops : Case Studies in Special Operations Warfare: Theory and Practice
