U.S. ARMY SPECIAL FORCES: “The Creation (Airborne Version)” And the Lord spake forth unto the heavens and said: “Let there be Airborne!” The earth did tremble and quake and the waters did rise up and the clouds did part and there came forth a multitude of parachutes that filled the sky. God looked down and saw this was good. And they were good - THEY WERE AIRBORNE! God then spake forth unto the land and said: “Let there be Rangers!” And all at once the day turned into darkness, and the winds did howl, and the mountains crumbled into the sea, and the great rocks did part, and there forth a horde of Mephistopheles’ disciples wearing Ranger Tabs and carrying all sorts of deadly weapons. God looked down and saw that this was bad. And they were bad - THEY WERE RANGERS! Then God spake forth thrice unto the sky, the earth, and the sea and said: “Let there be Special Forces!” Lightening did flash and echo across the sky; Mountains spewed molten rock and rained fire upon the land. Tidal waves surged against the shore. Despair, disorder and turmoil did prevail. Forthwith, there did appear a band of twelve extraordinary men. A few came from beneath the waves; others jumped from the sky; and more stalked silently from the dense forests. Each one was in camouflage battle dress, wearing a Green Beret. Working together, they brought peace unto the land. God looked down and saw that this was amazing. And they were amazing - THEY WERE SPECIAL FORCES! Beside himself, God now spake forth again and commanded: “Let all ye that be weak in mind and body, arise and go forth.” And lo, from the Abyss they crawled forward with indecision and limped weakly upon the earth. God looked down and shook his head, for this was pathetic. And they were pathetic - THEY WERE LEGS! (LEGS: (n), Pathetic ground-dwelling creatures that must walk to get to where they wish to go! I.e. NON-AIRBORNE TROOPS.)
