I'm happy to see this.
On the other hand, we can already kill any ISIS commander (or any other person) whom we can locate in the open, in a vehicle, or in a house or normal building, via drone-fired missile. And we can already destroy any facility, building, or target, via airstrike or cruise missile.
So I don't think that greater use of Special Forces is going to be game changing, at least not in the ways described in the quotes from the article. And I worry that if the world sees a video of a Navy SEAL beheaded by ISIS, and if we have a weak President at the time, we'll see another 100,000 US soldiers headed to the Middle East.
