NOTE: 1) The first Special Forces operation was in WWII, when, on the first operation, a team destroyed Hitler’s heavy water project. Thus ended Germany’s nuclear program. This operation set the standard for the SF “suicide mission.” Some things are worth dying for. And 2) There were NO Special Forces units activated during the

Korean War. Duration: 54 min. 16 sec.
