I served in the Army and was stationed at Fort Drum, 10th Mountain Division, in the mid 90s. Delta was there a lot. They were distinct looking and their eyes were different, cold and sharp. Often they would fly over with six of them hanging on to a ladder under a helicopter doing at least 100 mph, among other things. Insane, and their conditioning was elite level. My belief is that the difference is honor. You would never have had a Delta member profit off of the killing of Osama. NO WAY any of them would have talked about it. Man they would run by our units during PT in full ruck holding huge sniper rifles running at twice our pace, in combat boots. In perfect unison, eyes forward. HARD ASSES.

They are more psychologically selective about their recruits than other branches. You're always in a state of selection, they can kick you out at any time of service. To be Delta, you have to be insane to some degree. You have a much better chance of trying out for tier 2 units where grueling physical training is the bigger focus.

Completely self sufficient? LOL You made that up? They are part of JSOC. They can't move a finger or get a penny without JSOC. Delta takes mostly from SF and Rangers. After 9/11 they were fighting 2 wars and needed to fill the slots so they take from out of the Army but very small % but it's still ARMY special force so they take 90% from within the Army. Just because you put operators from different communities doesn't mean they will be tight on their 1st deployment.

To say the Navy and Marines (belongs to the Department of the Navy) doesn't have Humvees is so false that I question your military knowledge. The Army gets the most Humvees than any other branch because they are the biggest branch and are primary land but all branches get Humvees. SEALS not only uses land transportation but Naval and Air.

I'll never tire of Delta stories... Keep 'em comin'! When I think of Delta guys, I think of operators who are perhaps a tiny bit older than their ST6 counterparts.. and arguably a tiny bit more nerdy, whereas the Navy guys are gonna be more physically imposing. Different tools for different jobs. a Philips head isnt any better than a socket wrench... They're best utilized for differing tasks. Sure, there's lots of overlap and crossover, but I'm just trying to make a point here. Both orgs exist for a reason, and that reason isn't merely because our military bureaucracy loves redundancy and inflated budgets... Uhh, I mean, they do love that stuff too, but they also realize they can have both orgs and finely tune them for subtly differing missions. And I get a good kick out of the CAG/Devgru rivalry stuff.. you just gotta realize they're both amazing organizations and a little bit of friendly rivalry is healthy and totally normal for a job of it's kind.

Maybe SEALS look bigger and more athletic because ALL SEALS including ST6 must be Combat Divers Qualified, ALL. While in the Army only a very small community in Special Forces are Combat Divers. You can be in DELTA, SF or RANGERS and not be a combat diver. You have to be a combat diver in the SEALS including their Tier 1 ST6. Ask any Army personnel that Army Combat Diving School is the hardest qualification in the Army. So you know how harder is it in the Navy.

Graduated from 1st parachutist school. 3 Purple Hearts. 1 for a bayonet in the thigh at Guadalcanal in a battalion made up of 2 decimated parachutist and Raider battalions.

Lost 6 or 7 stripes, and busted was busted down to Corporal in 1944. Hit Okinawa via a submarine several hours before the attack. That was probably his 8th or 9th beach.

[@finksburg7380]

Delta can be activated via different modes. However, over the last 20 years, Delta has been operating through JSOC. I've seen the clip from McPhee you're referencing. You're right, but most of the missions you know about Delta during the GWOT were with JSOC. They're a huge part of JSOC though.

[@deathfire096]

One of the reason Devgru only recruits from the Naval Special Forces (SEALS/EOD) is all of them are qualified Combat Divers and years in the Naval Special Warfare community doing deployments. Making the teams tight. Only a small % in the Army are Combat Divers and is not mandatory to be a SF or Delta. Combat Diving is the hardest qualification in the Army but only a small % in the Army are. Different philosophies. DEVGRU in my opinion are a tighter team because they have been in the same community together for years. DELTA recruits from different communities, that doesn't mean they will be tight together on their 1 first deployment since all communities are different with their own history and heritage. Hats to both but water is a deal breaker for many. I can be Navy for years in 1 community and they put me with the Army which is a totally different community and in the first or 2 deployments it won't be tight for a while.

[@riehle.j8561]

There are former DevGru operators flying for the Night Stalkers. SEALs, nor Raiders/Recon have dedicated aviation assetts. Navy primarily looks at war from a carrier-based Battle Group/Force & Strike Force or USMC ARG/MAG paradigm. Although they did use the USS Kitty Hawk as a JSOC/SF platform, after 9/11. All JSOC/Tier 1 uses the Army's 160th, by default. Army's own GB doesn't get them, by default. All that inbreeding nonsense you're spewing; nah, it's about operating in cold water. It takes someone special to keep their body functioning at the brink of hypothermia, for hrs-long transits to/from tics. SDV operators fuctioning for 10hrs unprotected from the cold is a feat that those whom have passed selection would be hard-pressed to accomplish. If you've ever been in a cold ocean, you'd know that swimming 6 miles, with all of your pack, as an SOP is not something a human being can do by 'winging-it.' Few warriors can do that.

@@deathfire096ALL SOCOM units that do direct action are trained to operate on sea, air and land. That is not exclusive to SEALs. Different branches focus more on different things. Infantry doesn’t just mean ground combat. You show your own ignorance when you say that. There are specialized skills that go into being a real infantryman. SEALs don’t get anywhere near as good infantry training as real infantry units do especially since the majority of of SEAL training is focused on maritime warfare. There are no infantry schools or infantry units in the navy. The reality of the matter is SEAL teams don’t put much emphasis on land warfare outside the shoothouse. When SEALs are taught “infantry” skills they are most of the time taught by other SEALs who have little to no infantry background. Compare that with the us army who has over a dozen infantry brigades. A brigade is about 3000 to 5000 soldiers. The us army has multiple infantry and infantry related schools. There’s infantry basic training, infantry AIT, infantry ALC and infantry SLC for infantry NCO’s. Ranger school is an infantry school since it focuses on small unit tactics leadership and patrolling under food and sleep deprivation. Other army infantry related patrol courses include SFQC, RSLC (formerly LRSLC), etc. SEALs don’t start learning small unit tactics until 3rd phase of BUDs. All army and marine infantry privates start learning SUT in their entry level training (called OSUT in the army) before arriving at their first duty station. The Hollywood description of SEAL capabilities (that they are as good or better than the army or marines on land) only works for people who never actually served or done their due diligence. You are not going to have the same level of proficiency on land when you spend the majority of your training in and around water. You literally go on every KZbin page where a retired CAG soldier is interviewed, and as soon as something is stated about your infallible ST6 guys that you don’t like, you lash out. And most of your comments about the army when you comment are falsehoods. For you to say ST6 can do land warfare CT and HR as good as Delta while being superior on water, what you’re basically saying is Delta brings no specialized capabilities to the fight on land. And that’s obviously false. Army and marine units dominate land warfare. Navy units dominate littoral warfare. Air Force units dominate the air although army CAG is best trained for HR on a plane. Next thing your gonna say is SEALs do FID and UW as good or better than green berets since NSW occasionally dabbles in those things.

SEALs are also all freefall, diver, demolitions, SERE, cold-weather etc, etc, trained. Regular army infantry are not. The most basic SEAL entry course, BUD/s is 6 months long and has an extremely high attrition rate because of how hard it is. Army infantry AIT is not nearly that long. Army grunts will get their job done and make the enemy eat some lead, but SEALs are just fewer, have a harder training and deployment program, and are more advanced and specialized. The skinny little 18 year old bald guys, the Army of None's and the SF Dudes are much better at digging fox holes with grenade sumps and interlocking fields of fire than any SEAL Team guy would ever want to be. Good on them. SF’s (love them) were definitely better at doing Army Infranty tactics stuff than SEALs or any private snuffy fresh out of AIT. They can set up a FOB like nobody else and they bring all the Gucci gear since they do it every other week. None of those weenies (not SF) will ever be involved in taking over a ship from the water line or removing shitbirds that have taken over an gas/oil platform in the Persian gulf.

Delta usually wins when they participate although they performed much much lower than expected this year. They still outshot the SEAL team that participated this year though.

I think Delta has shown to be better suited to operate alone. Delta functions better independent, locked off from support or higher command for long periods of time. They are better at decision making, problem solving and often are more experienced. They are better at hostage rescue and scouting terrain. They are better at infiltration as civilians and to train other people. From what I heard also better at working with other forces. Just like the sas, select from all different forces including seal team 6 and have a very diverse skill set and they all learn from each other which I see as a massive advantage. They are a lot more secretive and from what i have heard have more funding. They also work closer to ISA and CIA than ST6 and are basically just SAS but with USA size funding.

Yes, that's because most delta guys were rangers or SF guys and in their training they are use to rucking miles alone in a isolated group. Whereas Seals are not use to rucking as much as those guys. They are more direct action where they are helicoptered into a target and do their work.

Doing a Delta Force video in a Snuggie 😂

[@shainshartershwate7421]

I'd rather have delta save my ass than devgru but they'd both get it done. And delta come from many different backgrounds as opposed to seals. Seals have been seals since they completed buds. Delta come from rangers, SF, rangers then SF, regular infantry, EOD, ECT ect. And you can kinda tell from most public pictures of them that seals probably usually hit the gym more but that really doesn't matter up to a point and can hinder you in the long run

[@mikesanchez-rf5rd]

Seals are more fit because all are Combat Divers and swim a lot. Doesn't matter which branch trains them as long that they are trained to do the mission. You are not even a SEAL after BUDS, that's how long of a pipeline and training they get.

I coud write a book.

Love reading the comments 😂.... 🐉🐸

[@brentfriedland]

SF are not yellers and have a "Dad Look" that tells you not to do that. Squeals [Life Guards] will yell at you for running around the pool and have cool hair and sun glasses. [I might be biased] The difference is in OpSec. One you know is there the other you miss unless you're looking for them.

[@HH-el8vp]

I wanna get him drunk a hear the real laser story.

Water is the biggest separation from the 2 🌊 Delta land Navy 💦

[@NateDawg3211]

I feel like they use different size guys for different situations tho.. You aren’t having a massive 250lb dude climbing on the side of ships ya know. Basically what I feel like he was saying prob on the teams and Delta is that way. 165lb guys are quick obviously they’re not gonna take a big dude 1’on1’but they play there role

[@SaundersE5]

I wouldn’t mess with either, but Delta are pretty tough hombres who keep their mouths shut.

[@deathfire096]

if they did you wouldn't be here talking about Delta.

[@DrJapan]

anyone from the small unit exchanges sees this? we need backup. make it happen. ITS NOT TRAINING

[@DerekEvan]

I thought Delta Force recruits from all branches?

[@cops312]

Doesn’t Delta have Seals in the mix as well?

[@shooter7a]

Kevin Holland is the only publicly known operative to have served in both units

[@aboveaveragecollective]

HR is Devs bread and butter too so……

[@Here4theComments9]

Remember when Delta was this mysterious group that inspired our imagination but now they wear hoodies and wear baseball caps promoting tactical attire and Black Rifle Coffee Company? I mean, still heroes. But ya know?

[@Bch2025]

Just like everything in life it comes down to the individual man. Doing a organization to organization comparison is useless and unproductive, but an individual man to man comparison is how you discern. Remember that big muscles require more oxygen to operate so lean and mean is the name of the game. Imagine hoofing it 20 miles over elevated terrain just to reach the fight; so if you are built like a bodybuilder you will crap out (and jeopardize the rest of the guys cause of your bs) not be of much use. Plus, thin wirey guys fight till they are hamburger

[@Last_Chance.]

He must not know about the smurfs. If ya know ya know

[@hudsondonnell444]

The Unit doesn't write books.

[@deathfire096]

yes they do. The founder of DELTA started writing books before SEALs. I know grunts doesn't like to read but this book hating thing is funny.

[@fabiotorlasco6902]

SAS are both units rolled into one fact!!!
