3 US Marines (MARSOC) killed.



Some points...

1.  MARSOC and the Marine Corps are hesitant to identify these "soldiers" as Marines.  Why?
2.  Green on Blue attacks are becoming accepted.  No outrage.  No headlines.  Just another uncomfortable fact of life.
3.  SOCOM is going to have an interesting time once the Conventional forces leave.  They will be tested like never before.
4.  SOCOM has to somehow get back onboard the training mission.  Every unit involved is Raider first, trainer somewhere down the line.  This is going to be a hard slug culturally...especially with the SOCOM Commander being from the Raiding not Training camp.
