I appreciate your honesty on this.

Is it orders of magnitude more likely to confront a terrorist cell composed of foreign national combatants on U.S. soil right now? Yes, I think so. I think the need for a unit prepared for that fight is paramount.
I think that depends entirely on the civilian leaders directing the mission, and I also think that confronting terrorist cells on US soil is better left to law enforcement. The FBI, ATF, and local SWAT teams can handle that job.
