#3 Ya they're FAST, but are they GOOD? It seems like most of the really critical missions go to SpecOps teams. If I was an ambassador of some backwater hellhole, being overrun by goons, I'd rather have some SEALS protecting me. I like the idea behind FAST, but having one captain, one NCO, and a bunch of rookies to fill out the platoon isn't very reassuring. I guess it's a little different now that there's a lot of Marine privates who have experienced war in Iraq.
