...Londoners will bounce back, as they have so many times before. It is high time the British and U.S. governments go after the root cause of the Jihadist problem, namely the fundamentalist mullahs and Islamist preachers who hide behind a façade of being religious men as they sow seeds of hatred and violence among young Muslims.

But the most highly visible, politically popular mission of the Special Forces is counterterrorism. The Delta Force is trained to rescue hostages by land, the SEALs...
...major problem is that instead of fusing into a cohesive elite force, this hodgepodge of different units has increased interservice rivalries, in part because of such rapid growth in recent years. The Air Force's 1st SOW is equipped to transport Special Forces; so is the Army's Task Force 160 of the 101st Air Assault Division.
