Operation Barras and operation winter hunt

I'm so tempted to just make up some codenames....

Gideon's raid on the Midianites. Robert Roger's raid on St. Francis. Getting back to friendly territory turned into a bit of a nightmare on that one though. John S. Mosby snatching Union General Edwin H. Stoughton out of bed. Legend says that Mosby raised the general's nightshirt and smacked his ass to announce himself. The German glider assault on Ft. Eben Emael. The German raid to free Mussolini. The Raid on Cabanatuan to free POWs. Not a "special op" in the usual sense of the word, but Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hath's mission to kill an NVA General is as good an example of fortitude, skill, and daring as you're apt to find.

My last example should read "Hath's" not "Hath's." We need an edit feature on this board!

What's going on? I'm sure I typed it right the second time. Are the computer gremlins eating syllables? Anyway, you know his name.

One of the original unconventional warfare units, the Green Mountain Boys capture of Fort Ticondaroga.

Add in their parent unit, Roger's Rangers of the French and Indian War.
