Why Did SOF Tether Itself to Vikings?
I don’t know why special operations tethered itself to this Viking culture.
We as Americans have more than enough to be proud of — on the battlefield and off it.
I’m not Norwegian. I’m an American. The American military fighting man culture is enough for me.
We’ve got a pretty damn good record. Incredible things. That’s the legacy I was trying to uphold.
Not reaching back to some European myth like we didn’t already leave.
We left. We broke away.
