You need to learn to understand and take other people opinion too....nobody will deny what you above have said but what i had said earlier was completely different off this........
I have said and say this again, going by the history Centra Spike was a highly specialized intelligence unit sent out to gather intelligence, please share one case here where this team was used to reck havoc in the host country, i would love to read on them...... If you need a vetern here then let me call out @jhungary to shed some light on the subject......
There are many other units that could have done the job, jsoc operators are assigned to cia to conduct such covert ops, a case which you have mentioned above ......
But do we really need such units??? Becuase i think you may have forgotten, but such unit raised Mujahideen.....look where that got
What i love about this forum is we don't have to explain who we are or what we do, what matters more is what we write......you are more than welc8me to disagree with me, but dont forget you yourself are among that 98% fanboys on this forum too
Thought I had replied to this but.....anyway.
While most country have their own secret team that carry direct action toward another country, and wet work did exist, but there are never any team that specialise with wet work that permanently station in a foreign country.
Most wet work we are talking about is one off. because that would be a lot easier to support and would increase the success chance of such mission. However, a dedicated unit just for wet work would not be easily maintain.
To conduct a black ops in foreign country, one need to get 3 things into a foreign country.
Personnel
Money
Resource
For a one-off wet work, all 3 will become one as the person (Assassin) would simply bring whatever he/she needs with it and then carry out the mission, and then leave and left no trace.
For continuous work, it would be better off for your government to operate thru your target's organised crime network and do the job for you, better that than actually establish a team. First, it would be untraceable, untouchable and total deniability.
It's like the US suspected that the Russian Mafia and Triad have some connection to Russian Government and Chinese Government respectively.
