    There is so much hate towards these SFAB Soldiers from other soldiers that I can’t comprehend. Most of the negativity seems to be coming from grunts who have never done anything besides passing basic training. Even guys who are tabbed up and have schools that are in line units, what exactly do you contribute besides being a middle manager to RA grunts? The guys and girls in SFAB are taking all their knowledge and helping train foreign and domestic units. Why are you all so mad? Is it because nobody cares you’re an 11B with airborne school? Go out and do something like these people are.

      Because they're not SF and this is a money waster and elimates opportunity to deploy and can be dangerous at times. When we were Iraq and Afghanistan we had infantry units with supports like transpo coms and quartermaster and more. This is basically reducing force numbers in a hostile area. You do know its not an mos but a position you try for. SFAB consist people from all mos in efforts to elimate need for larger forces. Think of it this way SFAB in place of what Delta and 75th rangers did im Mogadishu so you have even cooks and supply personnel doing combat arms shit with the help of a few infantrymen that made it pass 3 days of sfab tryouts. Theres a disdain because it potentially even more dangerous then having a small oda train local population to fight oppressors. For you to also devalue for what infantryman do is hating as well. Infantrymen do more than SFAB any day of the week my friend. Shit decontamination units do more.

Don’t tell me it’s a waste of money, if anything it saves money why wtf would you send tier 1 units to non hostile zones to do what SFAB can do? Obviously people in charge don’t agree with your sentiment, but that’s ok.

      @@JG-yc2fr Bruv, the training role of the SFAB and the SFG are entirely different. The SFAB trains conventional allied forces with a 12 man team, with an advisor for most of warfighting functions. An ODA is also 12 people that train nonconventional forces... Rebels, Insurgencies, and the like... They both are 12 person teams training different kinds of people. Not sure how it's any more dangerous than just an ODA out there with the local populace when the SFAB is with the host nation's standing military... Two different mission sets, mate... be mad, I guess. I used to clown the SFABs too until I learned what they actually are supposed to do. Sure takes a potential mission away from an ODA but the ODA is already a work horse that has multiple mission sets already.

      @@zaab-yaoh9302 if you do your homework and look up the historical importance or special forces and what they do. You do know they army already had advisor before rhe creation of SFAB. You do know what Green Berets do right, infiltrate, train, and advise and provide aid to oppressed communities within hostile nations to uprise agaisnt oppressive governments. You do know that during the Afghanistan and Iraq war big Army had CIA advisors and military advisors nothing special. All they did with SFAB is reduce the size of forces needed to sustain propping up a newly formed government or advise on other things like running decon tests or medical aid stations. The same shit SF does but with lesser qualified individuals. Truth hurts buts its reality. Rank is there for reason and if im part of an oppressed group the last thing I want to see is a young specialist telling my village how to train or fight when they barely have the concept of war, oppression, genocide and politics. They are using SFAB in the way SF is used without proper training or providing additional forces incase shit its the fan. Research before you open you fat cow mouth and don't assume people hate..I did 12 year 11 bravo and 74 delta I know a thing or two how military runs and since you assume I'm doing nothing you can join me in training for my Green Beret. See one thing you fail yo realize is just cause someone isn't in the service doesn't make them less of important than me or anyone. There is alot of people out there feel the same way or may have certain ideologies but doesn't mean they're wasting life just cause they called out something. You want more hurt feelings here ones for you. Did you know that females who have passed SOF training like SWCC, rangers, marsoc, recon, pj and sfas have had alternative events given in order to pass. Did you know that during 2021 and now the military has changed focus from a fighting forces to an inclusive focus with DEI components that offer equal outcome instead of equal opportunity and focus on pronouns and white rage. And by the way you're welcome for my service haha
