Yes, it has .. quite a bit of that responsibility falls on the media for always portraying every unit no matter the title or mission statement as being "SF." After 25 years, you would think I would be willing to let it go - but it is a pet peeve and I most often always correct the misconception. Just as I try to inform people that members of the SOF community cannot fly, bullets do not bounce off of them - and there are no one man Rambo teams.
