Corps set to join Special Operations community
This should have been done long ago. I assume that the delay in forming an elite unit was due, in part, to the long standing Marine tradition that all Marines are equal. But, whatever the reason, the Marine Corp now has a special operations unit. I expect that they will carry on with another long standing Marine tradition -severely kicking the enemy's ass.
