I forgot Horton was tonight's guest. I wonder how this is going to go? Libby seems to be hitching her cart to Israel and that is likely going to set Horton off. Horton is notoriously very lenient towards Palestine. When
Horton was on Viva Frei's show, it was a total clusterfuck. Scott got immensely pissed off and started yelling at Viva, personally insulting him as a moron and talking down to him just because Viva gave very gentle pushback and played devil's advocate on divisive assertions Horton made. Even if you do agree with Horton's premises, some of which I do, it's hard to take his side when he's so obnoxious, smug and a massive piece of shit.
Just now tuning in while writing this, Phil said that Delta Force only has a few hundred guys, like maybe 500. This is sort of correct, but way overestimated. I had to look it up because it's been a long time since I last even thought about those world eating motherfuckers, but there are 11 (officially known) groups of Delta and those groups
can contain up to 12 dudes each. Most often, there is a certain degree of personnel overlap between units, operational and supporting, and many units grow and shrink as needed for whatever capacity they are being geared for. My recollection, and this is antiquated and via my faulty memory and being told by some dudes that would know, was that Delta is about 100-strong. Not that this really matters because Delta often acts in support of JSOC, branch-specific SOF groups, which can swell to over a thousand, or alongside other regular units. May not seem like much, but 1,000 of the most badass, dedicated and hardcore soldiers imaginable is pretty significant. And you can safely bet that other nations have likely deployed covert SOF units alongside and in support of JSOC in the region.
Funniest aspect of JSOC is that most people get this mental picture of super jacked and chiseled dudes that are the most serious motherfuckers imaginable. There are members like that, Jocko Willink being a good example (yeah, he's SEALS and not JSOC, but this is splitting hairs), but most look like a normal guy. Average height, in shape but not a muscled stud. They tend to be shockingly unassuming.
