| #2 Not just SF Moose, I was in Paris for the air show and went to a big Embassy shindig. I was introduced to a Soviet Colonel, the military attache to their embassy, and he asked me how my wife was and used her name.."Ah Captain, how is your wife _______ and how is your Bassett Hound with the weird name." Soviet intell was very very good and I have no doubt it is still among the best in the world...better than ours and maybe better than the Brits and the French. |

| #1 I would be a bad luck indirect fire weapon, like a mortar round. Killing SF is not easy, because they "fight smart" and don't make a lot of the typical infantry mistakes. It was alleged that SPETZNAZ was so concerned about the effectiveness of SF, that once it had identified a SF soldier, they would compile a dossier, and on top of their other duties, two SPETZNAZ soldiers would be given the assignment to become experts on him, as his personal assassins if the need arose. |
