I feel like they should just make Marine Raiders do the mission SEALs do so it doesn’t get messed up. All jokes aside, I think Marine Raiders should take over the VBSS job the SEALs currently have and just have the SEALs focus on scuba and underwater demolition missions. I’ve seen Force Recon Marines and Raiders do VBSS and they are just as good if not better than SEALs.

[@TheLAGopher]

Ironically,Force Recon was created in 1957,5 years ahead of the Navy SEALs in 1962. Force Recon looked down on the SEALs as not being well grounded in infantry skills such as patrolling and at first,refused to work with them. Had the Marine Corps let Force Recon become part of SOCOM in 1987 when it was formed, Force Recon,which had a long history of operating deep behind enemy lines, in North Vietnam, likely have been the go to guys to augment Army SF and Delta in Afghanistan. DEVGRU would also have likely become a more unique unit like Delta,because it would have brought in Force Recon Marines as highly skilled in maritime operations as the SEALs to create a mixed organization.

I think that is the biggest misnomer with seals. Even when I talk to other seals, the bravado gets in the way. Yes they spend more per man than the average Marine Infantry 03, but I have seen them stack a detachment with the baddest dudes in the battalion to go on a small deployment (east timor in the 90's) and they did just fine. The Army and the Marine Corps come from an infantry centric culture, and legs and Marine grunts go on to bigger and better things I.E. Recon, Marsoc, Rangers, ODA's and Delta. They already have the basic building blocks of being an infantryman and have that humility built into them. Seals do not, they either come from the fleet as a mechanic ect or a pipeline straight into seals. Most of them may have never lead at the small unit level at all. The Army and Marines, MOST of those guys have lead at some form or fashion before entering into the SOF community. I hate seeing veterans tear down other veterans, but we need to go back to a baseline. The hate is palpable in this community.

[@TheLAGopher]

The NSW community is very set aside from the typical Navy sailor. There is no larger Infantry community to give the average sailor a solid base of Infantry skills,experience,and professionalism. The SEALs are held in awe by the wider Navy which doesn't reign them in by reminding them that they are tools in a toolbox.And that ultimatley, they are enablers for the Infantry soldier or Marine who win the wars.

I could be misinformed but from what I understand both Delta and Seal Team 6 had the capabilities to take the mission but who got the mission boiled down to whoever could be ready to go on the mission the fastest. Intel said he was in that building right now. Which unit is ready, and can leave the soonest and be there the fastest. It just happened to be Seal Team 6.

[@IJN_Guy]

Don't listen to the guy above. SFOD-D should have been chosen for the mission-type. The only reason they weren't was because the operation's commander was a Navy guy and chose them for "cool guy"/"better branch" points.

[@cbeaudry4646]

@rickybobby8704 Ya I don't think that's accurate since my limited understanding is that they practiced it a lot, & that part of the reason for the helicopter crash was that they used chain-link fences in practice instead of solid ones. Unless you mean the SEALs were able to start practicing for it earlier, which I guess is possible

[@96armycrazy]

IJN_Guy is right. The commander of JSOC (Tier 1 elements) from 2008 to 2011 was a Navy Vice Admiral (3 star general) so he gave it to devgru. Up until that point JSOC was commanded by army generals from its creation in 1980 up until 2008. So ofcourse devgru got it during his tenure as CO of JSOC Both DevGru and Delta have squadrons always on standby (they rotate) to he on notice and can fly out to where ever in the world within 24 hours. Now the Osama raid was trained on for MONTHS before it was actually done. Purely political that Devgru got it.

Yessir, as a Marine I personally concur. MARSOC is dope but theyre new. You have to respect experience. Army Special Forces are literally...SPECIAL FORCES. Delta came out of them- not even the Rangers can say that. Being a force multiplier by training both conventional and special operations troops to either over throw regimes or support regimes just cements their effectiveness. With that being said, I think its a good thing MARSOC chose to model more of a Green Beret approach vice a Navy SEAL approach. I'm not sure if MARSOC would ever get the UW mission, but I' sure the Green Berets appreciate the extra help with FID. Nations don't have to be oveethrown in support of a larger goal all the time, but they do have to be defended. Let's not forget that the Marine Corps also has a solid track record of Security Force Assistance.

While Beckwith was an SF officer, Delta was modeled after the British SAS and had numerous Rangers as their first members. I think you're a little caught up on their official name.

@@ValhallaVFT thank you, the SOT-A and 18-E both sound cool I'm sure both have rudimentary skills on fox hunting "civilian version of radio direction finding" that stuff fascinates me a lot. Have a great day, bring kitty on your videos more lol. Take care

Navy Seals is my all-time favourite Charlie Sheen movie. Our boy Charlie is at his Charlie Sheen-iest in this one. "Trust me with your life, not your money or your wife."

[@amdguru34]

I've said for years, SF is the toolbox of special operations. I jumped out of my seat when you used the term "toolbox" to describe them! I felt vindicated! 😂 No SOF unit is more comprehensive than the mighty green berets!! Green Berets will always be my favorite SOF unit! Oh, and yes, Navy Seals & NSW are too toxic to be anywhere near the top!

[@TheLAGopher]

That's because for many years,counter-terrorism and direct action became the end all be all of US Special Operations. I sometimes wonder how US Special Ops would have evolved had Charlie Beckwith been turned down by the Army wanting to create Delta as an SAS style small unit raiding force.And had the CT mission simply been another core mission within Special Forces which had a unit called "Blue Light" which had the CT mission for 2 years while Delta was being stood up. In someways keeping Blue Light would have made it's home ,5th Group more akin to 22 SAS, which still carries out US Special Forces type missions,while rotating squadrons through the CT standby mission. In the 70s both the Special Forces with Blue Light and the SEAL community with MOB SIX addressed CT like the SAS did. It was just another mission set to prepare for. Delta and SEAL Team Six created units that focused on CT full time with infinate resources,but where real world missions were scarce.

Nate, you should consider doing a video with Nick Koumalatsos!

You know anything about Psyops?

RRC and 24’STS?

[@fdangleshadang-a-lang7149]

USASOC in 3rd place dive competition: were those RRC guys? Or Delta guys? Also Nate, you may have said this in a previous video, but did you ever consider Delta or ISA?

[@gabe_diaz]

He said in a previous video he considered delta but got injured and he didn’t pursue it after that.

Were there any former Marines on your team?

You seem like you've gotten a lot more confident/comfortable in front of the camera. I review knives over on my channel and it would be very interesting to hear your thoughts on combat/tactical knives.

Do SOF occasionally use stimulants, such as amphetamine derivatives, to enhance performance during missions?

No comment.

Did you forget about the 24th STS? Pretty sure they're a SOF unit. I would assume they'd be somewhere in the middle just due to their scale of operations but I'd be interested to hear or opinion.

[@azovandy14.88]

It’s extremely difficult to grade effectiveness without laying out what parameters you’re using to define that effectiveness.

[@ValhallaVFT]

Good thing I literally started the fucking video defining how I was determining effectiveness then huh.
