Briggsy Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I notice there seem to be a lot of members who have served or are serving with a variety of "Special Forces". These can include The CIA, Delta Force, Seal Team 6, the SAS, the SBS, the SASR, the DEA etc. Activities and specialist skills seem to cover 'undercover work', 'covert ops', 'black ops', 'wetwork', 'martial arts', 'specialist weapon training', 'training the Thai police and military' (surprisingly), 'vigilante work', etc. There seem to be sufficient numbers of these people to create a critical mass large enough to have their own sub-forum. What does anyone think of this idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonobo Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 For years, in the US, all these wanna be's would claim to be SEALS. I think I have personally met more of them than the actual total of all men who have served in the SEALS since they formed in 1963! Now, the newest wanna be tactic is reportedly being a Marine sniper. But just like the so-called SEALS who never even bothered to learn what the school is named (BUD/S, not "SEAL School") or any aspect about being a SEAL, these "Marine snipers" don't even bother to learn what weapon a real sniper uses.

Jim's_a_Thai_Fox Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I remember a few years back in Angel Witch in Nana Plaza, I was sat to a guy who told me he used to work for DARPA (a secret R&D section of the US Defense Dept)... he was the only one left of his group... the others having been 'silenced' as they knew too much. He was thoroughly believable and I enjoyed his stories no end. I hope people like him can get their own sub forum - would make for excellent reading me thinks.

tb86 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Ha you would of thought they would have already captured taksin, what with all the years of experience in covert operations, or at the very least figured out a way not to get ripped off everywhere they go. But i guess some of these thai street vendors are really thai secret agents bent on making them bankrupt 5 baht t a time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patklang Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The last time i found out a guy was ex SAS,i asked him if he knew my cousin who is well known in the SAS,thinking he would make excuses,and he bloody knew him well lol.I have now got a great body guard when required,a frigging monster.
