His
name is Nir Maman (pronounced "Near"). He's a former
Israeli special forces commando and top hand-to-hand combat instructor.
From 1995 to 1998 his long-range reconnaissance unit (the feared
"Sayeret Golani") roamed deep into enemy territory,
fighting, capturing and "eliminating" terrorists and
insurgents. Usually, there were only 4 men in his unit. Alone,
without back-up, miles from safety and with less than one-fourth
the training our own Spec Op soldiers receive, these men faced
constant, unrelenting and vicious counter-guerilla combat.
Our own super-nasty Spec
Op guys (SEALS, Delta) -- as well as other world-class soldiers
like the French Foreign Legion -- are in awe of these Israeli
hard-asses. Their training is so short and so CONDENSED that at
age 20, the Israeli Spec Op soldier is as skilled as the average
30-year-old SEAL.
