Don't forget the 122nd SOS... " One of only three CAP units authorized by SOCOM to use live ammunition"

If SOPA passes can we get that thing turned off?

Air Force does not have Special Forces (Army).  Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard have Special Operations

Actually, special operations performed by special forces.  The Army picked up the definition of the type of force and use it as a designator, while the rest use the type of activity and use that for a designator.  To be completely accurate, the USAF Special Operations Command is divided into Special Operations Squadrons, who perform special operations.

Another example is that civil air patrol is what we DO (as opposed to, say COMBAT air patrol), and that's how we got our name (the same as the law enforcement agencies who perform highway patrol are generally CALLED Highway Patrol).

If you're going to provide guidance to someone for being imprecise in their words, you must expect the same "courtesy" from others.
