The life of a tier 1 operator is hard. You do the cloak and dagger work of your country day in and day out. You never get to see your family, you are always on edge, you blow up a boat with a cigar in Panama only to find out later that you were in Nicaragua. Ever wonder what happens to the ones good enough to serve their time and get out? They retire and join the 56th! We may not want to take on Black Ops anymore...but we can handle a grey one every now and then.
