kopassus, why?

What do you think of the Kopassus?
I read a book about their formation and their achievements and also some things they would rather people forget.
Pretty impressive battle record. Ruthless fcukers.
the overall impression i got was that they're a solid bunch. and very experienced - just about all of them have completed at least one, often more, six month (iirc) tours of duty fighting the separatists in aceh, timor and so on. pity communication was bit hard - shortage of translators!
they obviously know how to use their weapons well, solid infantry skills but rather poorly equipped based on what they brought as well as their reactions to even our frankly very dated laser rangefinders and other optical equipment.
