JMA---seems as if the "no boots on the ground" rule by Obama does not apply to SOF these days as somehow "advisors" are not combat troops.
More likely it is a case of never, NEVER, being able to trust the word of a politician.

In my SF advising days ---yes you were an advisor until the first bullet was fired and then you commanded and led by example.
As part of the training and advice given to call in a few airstrikes to show them how its done?
