One of the unexpected places they hung around in the 70s and possibly into the 80s was with Delta Force. In his book, Eric Haney writes about how they were liked for their low rate of fire and controllability.

The guy with the glasses and hipster mustache in the bottom left is Mike Vining. I’m not in the habit of learning modern special operations names, but this guy was an early internet meme. I mean look at him and look at his uniform. He did all the things.
