JTF2 is much much smaller and can't risk having anything be mentioned in the media for it runs a risk to operators and their families. The SAS were veiled in similar secrecy. Only a few have written books (mainly andy mcnabb...not his real name) and it is still questioned the accuracy of most of these accounts. Hence it is always funny when on everybody that posts a JTF2 video on youtube, everybody has a cousin or uncle or friend of a friend on JTF2. That would make them larger than all of the CF.
Well said.
