Special forces

Special forces and special operations forces are military units trained to perform unconventional missions. Special forces, as they would now be recognised, emerged in the early 20th century, with a significant growth in the field during the Second World War.

Depending on the country, special forces may perform some of the following functions: airborne operations, counter-insurgency, "counter-terrorism", covert ops, direct action, hostage rescue, high-value targets/manhunting, intelligence operations, mobility operations, and unconventional warfare. The term “special forces” in the US refers to the US Army's forces while the term “special operation forces” refers to all units. In Russian-speaking countries special forces are typically called spetsnaz, an acronym for "special purpose". Likewise Russian speakers refer to special forces of other nations as spetsnaz, for example US Special Forces would be referred to as Amerikanski spetsnaz in Russian.

    Special Forces

    by: Electrosy

    You were born with special forces
    Looks to kill and a mouth that curses
    When it hurts I want to take you down
    You were born so I could kiss you
    Snort cocaine and lick it off you
    All the same I want to take you down
    But I dream of someone else, sometimes I hate myself
    But I can't change myself, so now you've got me got me got me
    I'm not your slave but you treat me like an animal
    You keep me tied down and tortured on a chain of love
    I'm not your slave but you treat me like an animal
    You keep me tied down and tortured on a chain of love
    You may be pain but I don't regret you
    Often still I can't respect you
    All of me just wants to take you down
    The devil comes, the force is with you
    Consideration has never been you
    All the same I want to take you down
    But I dream of someone else, sometimes I hate myself
    But I can't change myself, so now you've got me got me got me
    I'm not your slave but you treat me like an animal
    You keep me tied down and tortured on a chain of love
    I'm not your slave but you treat me like an animal
    You keep me tied down and tortured on a chain of love
    Do what you want you've got special forces [6X]
    I'm not your slave but you treat me like an animal
    You keep me tied down and tortured on a chain of love
    I'm not your slave but you treat me like an animal
