One of the main issue with Para selection is that the applicant don’t have any option to choose between SF and Airborne. If some super talented guy in reality wants to join SF but is send to airborne selection and he gets selected there then his talents are not optimally utilised.And if some average skilled guy just wants airborne but is send for SF then enither ne never gets selected even if he posesses skills to get selected for airborne or even if he gets selected the unit might not get optimal results.
In west there are seperate selection for Rangers Green berets airborne and Deltas.Here it is clusterfuck.
But now as all the ones with para wings are proclaimed as SF that issue has been addressed
