B.O.P.E. in action.

I can't explain why but I'm fascinated by this organization.  I hope a Brazilian reader can suggest a good book on the history of this unit.

    Those are some bad dudes; and far as I know they aren't handicapped by having to be politically correct.

      Solomon,

      The two movies were released in the U.S. as "Elite Squad" and "Elite Squad - The Enemy Whithin".

      The first is much better than the second though...
