One had to be very academically dedicated and it was impossible if you did'nt understand the instructors but apparently he was allowed to pass because I geuss if he had failed he would have been executed upon his return to his home country. At least thats what was going round the scuttlebutt. I damn near killed myself getting that SF tab and it was pretty much given to this guy. I did see him do some hard phyical labor though. He was tough enough for the physical parts.


You are not far from the truth when it comes to foreign students going though our Special Operations Schools.
There was a time when a soldier from Africa (cannot remember which country) failed Ranger School. He was sent back home where he was beheaded and the people who executed him wrote back to the US and said how much he embarrassed their country.
After that, any foreigner, regardless of performance will pass these courses.
I really want someone to prove me wrong on this as the standard that is set should be applied to everyone.
