I'm glad this is somewhat anonymous because this might be the dumbest question ever asked, but on the off chance there is an answer, I'm going to risk it.
Why are the no (officially) elite fighter aviation units in the military? In the same vein as special operations, like AFSOC or 160th SOAR......Or to take it even further, a modern-day equivalent of the Fighting Tigers, a group trained specially to command and fight in a guerrilla air war, where US involvement should be kept a secret? Maybe if any one knows how the pilots that flew the OV-10 recently in Iraq got selected, that would maybe come close to what I'm looking for.
PS I know this post will probably give some of you guys a headache at the sheer stupidity, but I needed to do this, sorry.
