The Yanks Called the SASR Reckless in Afghanistan. Then Watched Them Do What Nobody Else Could

The Yanks Called the SASR Reckless in Afghanistan. Then Watched Them Do What Nobody Else Could. The word used in early coalition assessments was reckless. US commanders watching SASR units operate in Afghanistan flagged their aggression, their willingness to push into contact that conventional doctrine said to avoid, their apparent disregard for force ratios that American planning considered non-negotiable. Then the results came in. The objectives completed, the ground taken, the engagements won at odds that shouldn't have produced winners. The word reckless quietly disappeared from the assessments. What replaced it was a formal request to study how the Australians selected, trained, and deployed the men producing those results. They called it reckless. Then they asked to take notes.
