Lol at mister i'm a veteran pay attention and due respect to me!

Yeah, he wasn't demanding anyone pay attention or respect to him.

no one gives a **** about you,you didnt fight for me,

Not really sure what prompted this little outburst.

the game is NOT made by AN american COMPANY TOWARDS american CONSUMERS.,but a FRENCH COMPANY towards WORLDWIDE players.

Are you implying America isn't part of the world?

There are plenty enough games where the protaganist is american,

And this is one of them.

I for one would welcome the next ghost recon be more like Rainbow Six classic, with a multitude of nationalities to pick. This is a WORK OF FICTION, after all.

You could always, you know, play Rainbow Six, if that's the kind of game you want?

It was essentially just a cover story (a nonsensical one, but I digress), they were never Green Berets for the simple fact that they don't do what actual Special Forces Groups do---train and lead indigenous forces.

That's just one of their tasks thou, but I guess what they are mostly known for.

Primary missions:

Unconventional warfare
Foreign internal defense
Special reconnaissance
Direct action
Counter-terrorism

Other roles:

Counter-proliferation
Counter-insurgency
Hostage rescue
Information operations
Humanitarian missions
Counter-narcotics
Security forces assistance

My friend I'm 52 years old I played this game when it first arrived in the stores, I know the Ghosts were from 5th SFG, unless you have other intel about who is in 5th SFG they are green berets.

Go to YouTube and type in original ghost recon and you'll see the opening for that game where they explain it. While you are at it take a close look at the unit patch on the characters left arm - arrow head with dagger in center and 3 lightning bolts on the dagger with airborne tab above.

Now Red Storm made them D Co., however SF units only have A,B and C Co's so that gave them some wiggle room with the story line. Non-the-less, they came from 5th SFG. Its a lack of knowledge to suggest that SF units can not conduct direct action missions using only unit personnel if so tasked. It may be unorthodox to do so, but there is no D Co. either, so that gives (gave) them leeway.

I wouldn't fight for you motherf@cker, a cu@t like you doesn't deserve it. Your reading comprehension is lacking. I know that because I was writing about visiting a country and not stating that my experience dictates that I'm an expert in something.

A lot of hostilities going around. As a vet myself, I think this issue is hardly worth putting forth so much energy. Anyhow, I haven't played GR since awhile and I am perfectly fine having my guy pulled from his regular Delta unit on this CIA black site mission.....that's my train of thought anyhow.

I wasn't saying they can't do other stuff, but their specialization is force multiplying. Generally, the other stuff is taken on by other units like SEALs, Rangers, and MARSOC. It just strikes me as odd that Red Storm, in their apparent wisdom, made the Ghosts (initially, at least) part of a unit that would probably be the last choice for the type of missions they're shown undertaking.

But, like I said, at some point prior to Future Soldier, D Company was dissolved and they were reformed as the Group for Specialized Tactics, so canon-wise it's all a moot point.

Hey, only one person here is being hostile, the reason for which I still have no clue.

So now the question becomes, why did they detach the original unit to make this new story? What was the point? D Co., 1st Bn., 5th SFG was not good enough or was Ubi looking to separate the original so they can fill their pockets by making it more international, selling it to a wider audience?

...

Do you really think Ubisoft or previous developers have intentionally changed story background to be more international because of monetary reasons? Do you really think games buy these types of games based on their nationality and whom a story depicts? You mind need to check in with your physician for PTSD...

I can not imagine anyone would give two flying f**** whether GRW characters are members of US or other country's armed forces. Such thinking might be relevant when playing sport games where you can choose national teams but not in a game with a story narrative.

i wasnt hostile to anyone, the censor word is eufemism for d."ung", the only one hostile here is this false veteran spilling xenophoby,

Sure, call it the French Foreign Legion game I don't care. This game, is game about American soldiers, US special forces, green berets.

I don't give a flying f@ck about any other countries armed forces. You don't like that, tough. You don't like my attitude, oh well, I don't like how a French company f@cked up a great game about US soldiers.

I served my country and fought for my country and take pride in its armed forces and those things that are suppose to represent those forces.

I'll say again, I care about my country, this game represents US forces, don't like that, or you want your country represented, play the Legion game and go fight the Viet Min or Algerians, and we can all feel good because we belong to an organization where our nationalities are subordinate to the whole.

This games characters are from the 1st Bn., D Co., 5th SFG, USA.

Basically saying, america F yeah sc.rew you!, getting offended by the way a work of fiction portray american units. Much lols to you.

W1nEmAll you in other hand, have my respect sir.
