I think the erroneous "super infantry/Rambo" perception of SF is also due to the distressingly large number of frauds claiming to be ex-SF or ex-Delta or whatever, many of them with their own books, websites, and social media following.
I've lost track of the number of guys I've met on the plane to and from Southeast Asia claiming to be incognito SF, SEALs, or SAS (they probably assume that just because I'm a relatively small and inconspicuous male of obvious Asian descent that I don't know anything about the American or British military), when really, everything about them reeks of "pervy First World sex tourist looking for cheap drugs and under-aged prostitutes."
