What I find most annoying is that you have to spend an huge amount of time and effort to find out what makes your special forces special. It's something very few people are willing to do and that just leaves special forces as an expensive curiosity.
The game code clearly knows how the unit is special so it's beyond me why the game can't just say to the units owner what the forces can do. Finding out how you make the unit do their special thing would probably be challenge enough.
But alas, the games obsessive love for secrecy will probably win over this sentiment.
