Research Paper-United States Special Forces
"Almighty God, who art the author of liberty and the champion of the oppressed, hear our prayer. We, the men of Special Forces, acknowledge our dependence upon thee in the preservation of human freedom. Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless and to free the enslaved. May we ever remember that our nations, who's motto is "In God We Trust," expects that we shall acquit ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our faith, our families, or our fellow men. Grant us the wisdom from thy mind, courage from thine heart, strength from thine arm, and protection by thine hand. It is for thee that we do battle, and to thee belongs the victors crown. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever. AMEN." This is the prayer of the United States Special Forces, they recite this prayer every single time before they leave for a mission to go and help the oppressed. These men that make up the four branches of special forces are the toughest of the tough and the best of the best. They endure rigorous training exercises such as Ranger School, Halo School and the most challenging and physically demanding Scuba School; they push themselves to the limits of the human body. These brave men willingly go and travel into the worlds worst shit holes like the deserts of Afghanistan, or the jungles of Vietnam all because they love the country they live in and they want to preserve the freedoms that they and their families cherish so much. These organizations are working together to change the world by taking the title of United States Special Forces and preserving this countries rights and freedoms that we all cherish and value so much as well as helping America maintain the status and reputation of the super power of this world as we know it. The majority of the special operations and or special forces units go through the same training as each other do
