Wonder if Major Mike would mind giving a bit more details about the
French Commando School?  How are US soldiers selected to attend there?
What does the school teach that the US doesn't?

My son mentioned something about attending said school, but he neglected
to provide details.  It could be that the training is classified, in
which case I would like general, non-classified info.  I'm interested in
what happens to number one son. 8-)
