Fourth paragraph.

Richard was assigned to a SCUBA SFODA (Special Forces Operational Detachment ALPHA or A Team), and a SADM Green Light Team (Special Atomic Demolitions Munitions) a nuclear delivery team. During these years he conducted operations in 7 countries including reconnaissance in Iraq, and delivered instruction in advanced combat trauma, field surgical skills to members form 10 European and Mid Eastern Countries. He was selected to be the principal creator and Senior Instructor of the NATO International Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol Medic Course, in Weingarten, Federal Republic of Germany.
That's what I'm talking about... "and damn good at it". A "team" of this nature, operating out of an embassy, could create a ton of havoc.
My concern is oversight... power corrupts, ya know? Power with a skewed perspective is very dangerous when it's corrupted.
