The Independent recently learned that General Stanley McChrystal, leading Western troops in the war against the Taliban, received a complaint from the UK’s Director of Special Forces (DSF) after he broke the SAS’s code of silence and spoke about the missions mounted by the SAS and their Royal Marines equivalent, the SBS, in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The argument is, should the cat be let out of the bag in the public interest or should we wait longer to reveal such things?

Apart from the fact that we're not sort of forced to show our hand via loony EU public disclosure and privacy laws.

An interesting one this.

I think the present way things are handled is probably about right.

There is enough put into the public domain to give a hint of what goes on but a lack of detail that maintains an air of mystery leading to myth and legend.

Only those who are truly in the know have accurate and detailed knowledge of certain acts and events what we get to hear about i doubt scratches the surface in many many cases.

There should be a degree of information release in order to spread that little bit of trepidation and reputation amongst those who are likely to be unfortunate enough to have to do battle with our elite.

It not a bad thing to remind our foes; we have the best in the business and they are likely to come looking, find and deal with you.

only a bloody idiot would ask someone in the force's how meny kills you got and if they tell you 9/10 there chatting shit !!!! but to ask some in the special force's side of the milatry is like defeating the object of what they are doing.... foolish question!!!

Everyone agrees, this is a stupid question so lets stop posting in here then

 You making it? 

Yes, we do and it's about the only thanks we often get. There's northing wrong with Pillow talk. :p
