Green Beret Tribute

Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets

Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request

Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.

Hey I thought the green beret only purpose was to train other country's force how to shoot and fight. Do they do any H.A.L.O jumps?

[sonninja]

@Chewcoo51 We do a little bit of everything brother. The Green Berets are one of the most highly trained fighting forces in the world. And yes most Berets are airborn, so the do do H.A.L.O. jumps, but most of us low jump from helicoptors.

@tyroneuva1 Thanks for the all caps. All Green Berets have their silver wings. All Green Berets must attend jump school. So therefore, technically, all Green Berets are airborne. As for jumpmaster qualified, halo or haho qualified, that is a speciality course available to the Army's special operations units, Green Berets, Rangers, etc.

GREEN BERRETS ARE NOT AIR BOURN BUT MOST OF THEM HAVE THERE WINGS AND ARE AIR BOURN THEY ARE TWO SEPPERATE COURSES AND LOW JUMPING FROM HELICOPTERS IS NOT ALLOWED ANYMORE COZ OF STATIC ELECTRICETY THE ROPE MUST HIT GROUND FIRST

@joebrainard Oh, thankyou

[joebrainard]

@Scorpian472 In the US, Army Special Forces are the only troops authorized to wear a Green Beret, so Special Forces Soldiers are often simply referred to as "Green Berets."

[Scorpian472]

The green berets arn't even an airborne force..their amphibious. Royal Marines are the one's who wear the green beret. Other forces have a green beret but when saying "green beret", you're usually revering to the royal marines.

and LARRY THORNE was the best, `cause he was the FINNISH.
