In today's world of SOF surplus, what precisely defines the role of SOF vs that of simply elite light infantry forces? With the wars in Afghanistan/Iraq, it seems the roles for SOF has become so blurred. How different are Marine Raiders compared to Green Berets compared to the 75th Ranger Regiment?
Same with say what prevents 2 or 3 Para (in the UK) from doing similar roles as Royal Marine Commandos did in Afghanistan or what SAS/SBS got up to? Weren't all units doing non-conventional stuff as well as training local forces?
With the end of these wars, will there be a more distinctive and well defined line between SOF-centric and simply elite forces?
