Are special forces the worst thing to happen to western militaries?

In the scope of out comes of wars, special forces impact is almost nothing, yet politicians see their use as a way of saying they are contributing to fighting some cause without political fallout while they achieve nothing in a pragmatic sense

large infantry and indiscriminate bombing are the only methods that can win wars, proliferation of special forces contributes to the constant quagmires of modern warfare conducted by the west

Well /k/, with all the controversy around it, did Lee Harvey Oswald kill JFK, or did another shooter have to be involved?

Lee Harvey Oswald pulled the trigger on the Carcano that killed JFK.
No, his Secret Service agent did not trip on a banana peel and blow JFK's brains out by accident.
No, LBJ didn't order him bumped off.
No, the MiC didn't put a hit on him.

>>30079578
The world's a chaotic and random place.

I don't think a lot of people want to believe that one pissed off guy can off the most powerful man on earth.

Oswald did it.

Due to the seating arrangement inside the vehicle and the positioning of the victims' bodies prior to the shots being fired, as well as the angle from which those shots were fired, Oswald was able to hit both targets simultaneously from his position.

Anybody who talks about the necessity of a second shooter or goes back to that 'magic bullet' horseshit is somebody whose opinion should be discounted on the spot.

It's funny to see people on 4chan attempting to prove that the whole thing was a conspiracy. They find it hard to believe that a lone whackjob would just go out and assassinate the president, even though they share a site with just such people.

So I spoked to a recruiter today and it looks like OCS is looking good for me. With my PT scores and and the content of my academic pedigree they are pretty confident I will do well enough to branch however I want (I want infantry). However, I am still considering the Marine Corps and going OCC with them instead. From what I understand if someone is deemed "uniquely qualified" for a certain MOS that they can get preference and branch that way. I would want to go ground intelligence if I were to go the Marine route because I am pretty sure I could make a great case for being uniquely qualified. Plus, ground intel guys have the chance to go to selection for cool guy stuff from what I understand (MARSOC, Force Recon).
So my choice is either go Army OCS and shoot for Infantry and try to get into cool guy stuff once I make captain, or go Marine Corps OCC and try to go Ground Intel and try for Force Recon in a couple years. Which idea do you guys think is better? Bumping with cool /k/ related pics.

>Photos emerged Thursday showing U.S. Special Forces operating in Syria's Raqqa province alongside Kurdish YPG militants and fighters under the command of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), deemed to be moderate and an ally in the offensive against Islamic State militants in Syria.

>The photos, captured by an AFP photographer, show some of the American soldiers wearing patches of the YPG and YPJ, the YPG's all-women combat unit, either in a show of support or in an effort to hide their affiliation on the battlefield.
