I am glad you explained your arrogant know-it-all attitude. If I had any doubt as to your ignorance, it is surely confirmed after reading the above.
If "conventional logic" dictates, then you would recognize the official unit titles. It really isn't that difficult, I am quite positive that even you can understand if you put your mind to it.

Oh yeah, and I got the 13,300 number for ACTIVE personel from globalsecurity.org but the even though they seem to think you're off by about 5,000 total it really doesn't much matter.

Perhaps if you had done better research, you would know the current number of personnel assigned to USASOC at this time, it has recently been released for public consumption. Your dated and incorrect information is of little consequence.
While I know it helps to boost your ego to pretend you know more than everyone else, it does little to help keep factual information on this board. More times than not you are a detractor from discussions that have to do with the military.
You can save your "blowhard" reply, I am not interested.
