No no i am saying that they would never give away any secrets and would go at great lengths , far more than any SF man would go, to keep the secret.

Modern day special forces train hard, and they train long. They shoot A LOT to keep up their shooting abilities. That's a lot a Ninja has to do, especially since they would have to do more (train up their Ninja skills). The Ninja mentioned in the show was probably older than the SEAL team members. Military units don't tend to have too many old people. A Ninja master would have to train for many many years (*note* old) to get to a skill level equal to that of the ninja master from the discover channel. After training up on his ninja skills he would then need to go through jump school (imagine old guys doing HALO jumps), sniper school, and all the various things that special forces have to go through (possibly h**l week?). I don't see this happening.

The ninja doesnt need to be a master he just needs to be good.

Camouflage = dissappear. As for blending in with the crowd, I believe that is what American snipers are doing all the time. Either Iraq or Afghanistan, Snipers don't present themselves as snipers outside on the streets.

Yeah camoflauge they invented it, they managed to travel at great lengths under water with out a diver suit or air tanks.
As for camoflaugeing in a crowd , a large crowd is the easiest place to lose a tail in.

Remember, there is a reason for a larger team. Some missions require it, you can't bring of synchronized attacks with one person. You can't get cover fire if you are alone.
|
Ninja's used more than one person , they actually teamed up and remember they where strictly black ops and samorai where fighting.
Ninja's dont need to have covery fire if they invisible and are not seen.

I'm Asian. I know all about losing face, but the family thing? Doesn't really apply to a modern day fighting situation. Soldiers fight for their country, defend their homeland? Are you saying that modern day ninjas will be trained to fight for and die for their families in order to not lose face?

Whats more important the land or your family?

Please note that i'm talking about Ninjas in a modern day situation and not ninjas from medieval japan.

I know, i was just pointing out what a modern day normal soldier would do. Special Forces are different, and that is what we are comparing Ninjas to.

We are actually tlking about thier tactics not brining a ninja here.
