*The Special Forces crest is made up of crossed arrows from the First Special Service Force, a somewhat unconventional light infantry unit of combined American and Canadian units in WWII, made popular in the film The Devils Brigade. The dagger represents unconventional warfare skills and the motto while disputed due to various Latin grammar interpretations, to old time SF troopers simply means– The oppressed we liberate.
Also as first written about in Gung-Ho Magazine in the 1980s the true history of the Green Berets was exposed by its acknowledged founder Aaron Bank as not coming from the more politically correct First Special Service Force (According to the Army at the time) but rather from the Jedburgh teams operating though the OSS in Europe in WWII. In other words the Army Special Forces evolved from what is now known as the CIA. In the early years and thorough the 1980s and 1990s it was not politically correct to acknowledge that a U.S. military unit evolved from the underground, spies, guerrilla fighters and saboteurs.
