Rangers put to test in plane hijack exercise

[Rudolf Neff]

Would someone please tell me why the countrys special forces are being so much coverage for this ? By their nature special forces and knowledge of their work should be limited. The article mentions the numbers of the unit. It also gives the duration for this typeof special forces exercise. Is there any guidance for press releases from the department of defence ? If they are happy to let everyone know this then they should take a leaf out of the mods book on this site

Let them learn of your skill when it is to late for them to do anything about it.
