Most U.S. Army Special Forces even before becoming U.S. Army Special Forces had their U.S. Army Airborne and U.S. Army Ranger Tattoos painfully removed.
So most actual U.S. Army Special Forces do not even think about getting any "Identifying Marks", especially U.S. Army Special Forces Tattoos, that must be painfully removed, leaving an ugly scar. I explained these facts on my overall TV Series The Brave Review.
The same is true for the other Branches of Service Special Operations Forces of the U.S. Air Force Special Operation Wings Special Tactics Teams, U.S.M.C. MARSOC including painful removal of U.S.M.C. tattoos, U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s.
Having tattoos or "identifying markings" is a justification to not be assessed to higher level U.S. Military Special Operations Teams. Even those permanent "burn marks" as scars from laser removals of tattoos can make you not usable.
There are also those Enemies that "collect" these Tattoos, and maybe also a hand with fingers as proof of death of U.S. Military Special Operations Personnel. Example after being "Outed" (verified we were at Yemen) by Democrat President Obama Al Quada Yemen offered One Kilo of Gold for proof of death of any U.S. Special Operations Forces Personnel at Yemen (whole body, both hands, head), General Petraeus had to Emergency Exflitrate U.S. Special Operations Forces from Yemen.
These are the same reasons why, we started using velcro a longtime ago, as to be able to easily remove grade/rank, unit patches, qualifications (that only U.S. Military Special Operations Forces wear, or have so many qualifications that everybody else does not have, U.S. Army Air Assault (Wings), U.S. Army Airborne (Wings and Tab), U.S. Army Pathfinder (half wing badge), U.S. Army Ranger (Shoulder Tab), U.S. Army Special Forces (Shoulder Tab), the other Schools like Mountain Warfare (shoulder patch), Jungle Warfare "Expert" (pocket patch), E.O.D. (badge), Sniper (Shoulder Tab), Sapper (Shoulder Tab), Belgium Parachute Wings, French Commando, HALO/HAHO/LALO Wings, SAS Wings, Rotary Wing and Fixed Wing Aviator, as well as the other U.S. Military Special Operations School badges (as Joint Special Operations, as being higher than just one Branch of Service). All on one Combat Uniform. these are all removed before a mission, including Name Tag and Branch of Service, personal items (photographs, wrist watches. jewelry of any kind, wallets) are also left in a clothes locker or put into a safe all you have is your identification tags, and identification card, some missions even these are not taken.
Giving out real names during Operations never happens that only has the potential for those that are given the actual names to be captured and tortured for the actual names and descriptions of everybody and everything they saw. You give out your real name, they find out where your from, they will hunt down you, your family, your relatives or put a dead not alive bounty with proof of death (body parts as head or both hands) on you on the Dark Web.
