Oops. I read the “special forces” part in the story, but it was talking about a raid in 2009.
It isn’t you it’s the media, they are determined to convert “Special Forces” from the name of Special Forces into a generic term for all special operations.
What they will then call the actual famous 61 year old Army unit whose name is “Special Forces” is a mystery.
It is a little like when Clinton took the famous black beret of the Army’s famous, Airborne Rangers, and made it the hat for all of the Army.
