Why don't garuds use high cut helmets

They do.

You seem to have a lot of complaints but not much info to back them.

It's not like that
Even I have seen this photo
But this is during training with israeli special forces and it's a tradition that a force going to other country for exercise then they use to wear the equipments of hosting nation and these helmets are used by israeli special forces

As this thread is for discussion
I basically want to improve my knowledge I might be wrong and my info might be less but I make sure what I know I know it better.

It’s not uncommon for even tier-1 US SOF units to provide VIP close protection.

Examples-

Delta Force bodyguards in civilian clothing providing close protection to General Norman Schwarzkopf, 1991.

DEVGRU (aka SEAL Team Six) operators guarding Afghan President Hamid Karzai

Protection of a civilian asset in a foreign country or warzone is one thing, but protection in your own country is pure BS. Show me one photo of the same Tier 1 operators doing the same job in their own country. Not to mention, their VIP security clearance is limited to Congressmen and above hierarchy.

When your own country is a war-zone, it’s not BS.

India fights its wars within its own borders, like Kashmir, North-east, Naxalites, etc; so there is a constant threat to the VIPs in our military. Therefore, special forces bodyguards are justified, even within India.

On the other hand, USA fights all its wars outside its homeland.

And the Afghan president or a General are NOT ‘civilian assets’. They are VIP!

Hence the reason why CISF VSG, CRPF, NSG(Removing Slowly for the designation) and even BSF has VIP/VVIP security wings. On top of that various state police forces do that job too.
When Trump visited Indian, it was these agents who protected him not Military SFs!
Plus I never said Afgan Prez is not a VIP, read my previous message carefully, I said Congressmen and "Above hierarchy", which includes foriegn assets as well.
Plus my points remains clear, not one Tier 1 operators provide this service in their own country.

1) Some parts of India are war-zones, agree or not?

2) I proved that even US tier-1 SOF units can be bodyguards in war-zones, agree or not?

If you agree with the above points, then you also agree that it is totally OK to have Para-SF/Garuds/MARCOS guard VVIP military officers like chiefs by pure inductive logic.

AFAIK, even the military has dedicated close-protection wings, just like the ones you mentioned (correct me if I am wrong). For example, there is a dedicated COAS close-protection force for the Army Chief composed of Para-SF operators.

Mate, in your First point, Are you seriously suggesting that certain parts of our country is a warzone? When infact major insurgency happens in heavily forested area where no VIP goes, with exception of J&K where insurgency happens in civilian urban areas, even there when a VIP goes its the local police and crpf who protects him not Military SFs. For eg, when NSA chief Ajit Doval after abrogation of article 370, he visited J&K, but I didn't see Military SFs protecting him, only local police.
In your 2nd point, "when you have already come to the conclusion that India is a warzone, hence Military SFs can be used" , then I have no words to argue that.
The final point is COAS, CDS are protected by Ghatak commandos not Para SFs, plus if I am not wrong I have never seen Para SF doing VIP security jobs!
Ah, yes completely forgot, the only VIP who goes to the insurgency hit areas in jungles are police IPS officers / District SPs, who are protected by District Armed Police

I have a genuine question.
Why is this the only half sane thread on this forum? Every other thread seems ridiculous and propaganda.

Lol 100% . On some threads I feel like I am on PDF.

Maybe this thread requires a bit more nuance than just chest thumping and fear mongering.
