Wasting no time taking a page from the Ukrainian playbook before the ink even dries.

This must have been planned well before the strike on Russian airbases (which itself was in the works for over a year).

No disrespect to Ron Pearlman, but, because of drones, war has changed.

Can we stop calling them "commandos" I never see the media use that language for other countries special forces? It makes it sound like kids playing with action figures.

Maybe because commandos specifically refer to special forces operating from behind enemy lines?

Does that mean all Israeli special forces are commandos when they are operating around humanitarian aid organizations?

I mean fair, but why not use the term "special forces"?
I guess my unconscious bias stems from the fact I can't remember the last time US media referred to US special forces as commandos.
