Interesting. Back in the 70s, I think, Michael Echanis was a Special Forces guy who was also a high-ranking Hwa Rang Do practitioner. He also trained a lot of those guys in Hwa Rang Do, which was making inroads into the Army community until Mr Echanis was killed in South America. Chief Master Taejoon "Henry" Lee has since given a few seminars and "sulsa camps" to various Army guys and special forces types, but I don't know if anything has really stuck.
