As an artist and animator, if you asked me to list my creative heroes you'll get the usual names plus a lot more from animation you're not familiar with.
But, as a human being, I place the US Army's Special Forces, esp. its members who wear the "Green Beret", near the top of my list of organizations or people I look up to.
Army SF soldiers are not your stereotypical door-kicking knuckle-draggers, no thanks to Hollywood's lumping of them with the Navy SEALs and the more direct action-oriented units of the US Special Operation Forces community.
Instead, they are a different breed of noble warriors best defined by their motto, "De Oppresso Liber", or "To liberate the oppressed".
Their main role is to go to places where such oppression occurs, and teach and train people to turn them into an effective guerrilla force, to help themselves fight their oppressors.
This book tells the story of how its author made it through the grueling 2-year selection process to earn the right to wear the Green Beret. 1 reply
