That’s funny. Because I recall reading about this “super-secret” stuff in the Wall Street Journal, and online on many outlets. The tasking of a cooperative effort between the Marines, SAS, Delta Force, the Air Force, and others was no secret.

It was in fact much publicized, no doubt as a show of force.

In fact, various Mil Blogs and military press outlets have been talking about this for YEARS. As the ultimate in “jointness” i.e. using Spec Ops in combination with guys on the ground patrolling.

Their point — the Spec Ops guys would not survive without the grunts in big numbers on the ground.
