With the same visionary perseverance employed in his commitment to replace mutual assured nuclear destruction with missile defense, President Reagan executed a long-term strategy to build an array of elite, high-tech special force units that could carry out operations like the one that killed bin Laden. As documented in the 1987 study, “Terrorism, U.S. Strategy, and Reagan Policies,” a 1990 target was set by the Reagan administration to increase special operations forces by 50% from 1981 levels. By 1987, a U.S. Special Operations Command was established to oversee the special-ops forces of the various branches of the military.And so, again, steadfastness paid off. Reagan saw the need, in a changing world, for elite units comprised of the best soldiers on the planet, to combat terrorism. Thus, bin Laden is DEAD.... You and I are safer. Thanks, Ronnie…. Godspeed and OO-RAH!!
