Lesser Known Operators

Lesser Known Operators is my attempt to sit down and interview as many of the military"s Special Operations Forces also known as "Operators" as I possibly can. There are a lot of really great "Operators" out there that no one has ever heard about. I want to go in to their experiences and learn some more about the best there are in our military.
