The title of the website is a generic one and can encompass many different worldwide units. It has obviously grown vastly over the years from when John first started and is worldwide now. That doesn't take anything away from your unit and it certainly is not a site, like some do, where people argue about whose unit is better than someone else's. Just look down the list on the right and you will see there is a vast array of different units. It's also not just about the present but also the past, and it primarily honours the fallen and the courageous, from those units. The individuals. There is no other site that I know of that has so much information free for all to view and learn from. I for one would like to thank John for all his efforts. After all if it was limited to just units with the name Special Force in their title we wouldn't have many in there, including the Special Air Service. It would have been better to personally message John with your view rather than put it on an open forum. The way you worded your message suggests you did not even read the section "about this site" on the home page written by John. I'll post it here :"This site is dedicated to the memory of Special Forces from World War 2 to the present who served and died in places and under circumstances most of us can only imagine in our worst nightmares.My research has taken nearly 40 years and is sadly still ongoing as wars and conflicts show no sign of abating worldwide.I sincerely hope that no information,errors or omissions cause any offence to families or Associations.I hope this site serves as an everlasting memorial to past,present and future Special Forces.Please feel free to contact me re errors or additional material.I would like to profoundly thank my son Craig who has created this site for me.In memory of my late father-in-law Adam Anderson,PPA 1944-45.John RobertsonRegardsPete Rogers</blockquote>
