Actually there are certainly no GB as well trained as the AF SoF

Not true.

Could a GB or SEAL team do a hot extract and rescue folks?

Yes.

Do any other SF have the ability to walk into an ER and take the lead on traumatic injuries?

Yes

Are they as medically trained and do they understand traumatic injuries to the same degree as a PJ?

Yes.

I was with you up until you went cray cray with this. One of my good friends was a GB medic and he told me the training he had to go through. His medic training was similar to that of PJs, working in a trauma unit at a hospital, ambulance ride alongs, etc. In addition, he HAD to learn a second language to graduate and be on a team, and he also had to learn a second job i.e. weapons, demo, comm, etc. that way if one goes down somebody else knows his job.

Don't get me wrong, I think the AF spec ops guys are a bit underrated, BUT CCT (and TACP but they aren't technically AFSOF) is the ones out there doing missions, while PJs have taken more of a badass ambulance role. Not knocking them, they are some of the best trained medics in the world, but their role has shifted from CSAR to more of a MEDIVAC/CASEVAC.

I have direct knowledge of the AF SoF. Don't worry they are unknown to most. Hell even GBs kick down doors and yell SEALs! No SF other than SEALs advertise. We have the most top secret facilities, we have the most sensitive Intel, we have the most well trained pilots and we have a SoF to boot. Our SoF train for 2 years just to enter. I know badasses who could not even handle the underwater portion, which is in the first 3 months. They have very loud percussion sounds and total darkness. They teach you knots. You have solve problems like that under water. The trick is to figure out if the knot is impossible or a legit knot from your training. If you come up and it was legit you fail. If it is impossible and you keep at it you drown. Our AF SoF kick down doors and double tap bad guys with the best of them. I will put our snipers against any. They are experts from the helicopter but we mostly drop them and allow them to get in place. We protect facilities that are not known to many and rescue targets that were never there.

Are you dumb?

I would actually project the Air Force to be obsolete within 15-20 years with unmanned air craft.

Couldn't you say that about the army/infantry men too? I think in a few decades putting human lives at risk on a battle field will no longer be acceptable. I think soldiers on the front line will be replaced by robots and Big Dog like creatures like the one created by Boston Dynamics.
