O.k. Time to update this old riverboat engineman again.
Watching satellite t.v. programs on the Afghanistan war, or any of the other conflicts we are in now, they constantly are showing inside vehicles', helicopters, inside fire bases, showing how robots work defusing land mines, how snipers hide in buildings , ect.
Isn't this too much information for us to know? If we in the States are watching all of this, guess who else is watching also? The same enemy we are fighting!
I was in a Riverine unit, special warfare unit in the early 70's.
Nothing was put out for anyone if you were not in our unit.
The public thought SEALS were animal and they wanted it that way!
Our river craft were top secret, our ops., our training, personnel in the units were classified. No photos, no interviews, nothing.
Now just turn on the t.v. and it is all there!
I would be afraid to operate in those areas with so much known about how we operate and our equipment.
How do the guys who have to fight feel?
The world has changed I guess.
