Navy SEALs, Delta Force, and SOCOM general - The most "Special" groups in the U.S. Military

I have a theory that the problems currently in the SF community is largely due to their celebrity status from GWOT, where they were used for everything under the sun.
GWOT messed with the military, made a ton of MOS' only useful for COIN and now they're reshuffling a lot of guys around.

We're getting to Rekieta territory. Danger Close. PULL-UP WOOP WOOP PULL-UP ANDY.


@MIC Shill They were fucking up long before that. Look at what they did in Vietnam, Iran, and Mogadishu.

“If you get a document that purports to be from the N.S.A., it should be a five-alarm fire,” a member of The Intercept’s high-powered security team, Erinn Clark, said in her interview for the internal inquiry. “Go to a secure room, with an editor, freeze where you are. You are not aware who you are exposing or putting at risk.”
Instead, Mr. Cole put the document in his bag and got on a train to New York.
One concern did cross his mind.
“I thought at the time there would be an audit if they printed on a government printer,” he said, according to the internal review notes. “I forgot about that thought.”
Later, he called a source in the intelligence community in an attempt to verify the document, and casually revealed its postmark.
”My source said something about, ‘How did it come to us?’ I said in the mail, from Georgia, and my source laughed about that,” he recalled during the internal investigation. Then, Mr. Cole mentioned that the postmark was Fort Gordon, Ga., which is home to the N.S.A.’s Cryptologic Center. “‘There’s a logic to that,’ the source said.”
The startling carelessness about protecting Ms. Winner was particularly mystifying at an organization that had been founded on security. The Intercept had hired leaders in digital security, Ms. Clark and Micah Lee, for just such situations. Mr. Cole did not involve them at all.
Mr. Cole and Mr. Esposito said they’d been pushed to rush the story to publication, but Mr. Cole also acknowledged that failing to consult with the security team was a “face plant.”

Matthew "Snitches get Stitches" Cole fragged his source. Oof. If journalism was like the Military, he'd be getting a Pulitzer for his efforts.

Also, funny PR fail by Thomas Payne and Delta. Choosing a cokehead who beat his wife to shoot guns with doesn't quite send the right message I think.

Not a crossover I would expect. As I've said before Payne is super shy and socially awkward. Tried listening to a few podcasts he did and they are too painful. It's clear the Army gave him a list of talking points to try and help him out but he gets stuck on a loop and repeats the same bullets points.


Looking for Payne's interview I came across this podcast with the Marine who actually saved Kyle Morgan in Mali

77 minutes, Delta Farce, you want to kill me. I'm like 5 hours behind on brovet podcasts

But yeah, Payne being super quiet serves well for the army. Loose lips sink ships. He needs to wear his MOH the on the neck, smile a bit, and just say "buy war bonds" Support our troops and their incredible work! Job done. Nuance and details would get people's noggins joggin'.

Sorry! I'm used to listening on 2x and skipping boring parts. He's waay more articulate and intelligent than Kyle Morgan. His description of the attack is completely different from Kyle's. Kyle is full-on stolen valor. The Marine says the hostage in the burning conference room escaped himself. Kyle didn't run in and grab him. Why does Kyle make it sound like he was alone the entire time? There was a five man team.

The one time he loosened up for a bit he was joking about the fact that they didn't do load planning and weren't sure if they had space on the helicopters for all the hostages

Druggerinos 4 sure. He was high as a kite on something, and probably the Radisson Blu felt like a literal opioid dream. And he's a narcissistic asshole who wants the credit and doesn't care about the existence or emotions of others. Proof? OD'd in front of his daughter.

Oh man, that's hilarious, haha, the hostages left behind because of overweight would have had a good laugh watching the helicopter take off without them ha ha

So I read a comment that the rescue of Kurt Muse (glowie) was the real last successful hostage rescue ™ operation Delta did by themselves. I didn't know about it. First off, cool fucking name for the operation. Acid Gambit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Acid_Gambit / archive

So, I kept reading. This was in 1989, before Black Hawk Down, in Panama. And look at this unexpected twist of fate after getting Kurt from a prison

"Their "Precious Cargo" (Muse) was now secure and a Delta operator called in for extraction. During extraction from the prison, the Hughes MH-6 Little Bird helicopter transporting Muse crashed. Delta Force operators Pat Savidge, Tom Caldwell, James Sudderth, and Kelly Venden were wounded in the crash. Everyone aboard the helicopter quickly took cover in a nearby building. The Delta operators managed to signal one of the gunships flying over the area with an infrared strobe light, and shortly thereafter an armored personnel carrier from the 5th Infantry Division extracted Muse and the retrieval team."

Delta never seems to get lucky. What a foreshadowing for 1993, Mogadishu


Edit: Best comment from the Payne Jones Collab.

Yo, Yo,
I found out something, damn. Mike Day, the SEAL who got shot 27 times (11 in the plates and 16 in other body parts) took his own life last year. This hits me a bit in the feels. I knew his story from way back. I saw him running competitively, and I thought, "This dude is insane, getting shot at so much and still doing more sports than me". I never heard about the suicide. Just now, I saw a clip of Shawn Ryan with Wilson where they talked about him, and read about the suicide in the comments

So Delta leadership gives ooperators valorous awards to coverup their mistakes? If you tell a lie big enough people won't question it? Kyle insulted the Marines on SRS. He said they were "the closest thing to warriors he could find". Nigger, they found you, did the planning, and had to save your ass when you had a drug fueled panic attack.

Poor John Steinbaugh just wants to talk shit about SEALs but his former teammates are violating their NDAs

There's surprisingly quite a few SF guys who look down on conventional infantry.

Dunno why he wants to talk shit, army grunts and muhreens actually accomplish their missions without icing random people or needing a cover up.

 

[Sean_Igger]

I have a theory that the problems currently in the SF community is largely due to their celebrity status from GWOT, where they were used for everything under the sun.

Yup, and their popularity is spread and held up by boomercons who see SF guys as the unquestioned pinnacle of manhood. They don't bother to check for skeletons of any kind.

Is "IREGGULARS" supposed to be misspelled or is the expectation that Navy Seals are supposed to be intelligent overstated?

A seal is an animal. The combat group we are refering to is capitalized as SEALs. Because it's an acronym for SEA, Air, Land. This is a very specific detail that SEALs care about, and if somebody types Navy Seals, it is clear they know almost knothing about the teams. They cannot even type it proprerly.

 

[VargReallyDidNothingWrong]

Fascinating. Are you a seal yourself or do you just white knight them on the internet against the spec ops version of misgendering?

 

[Justtocheck]

seal yourself or do you just white knight

I am a human, not a seal. And dude, you do know I wrote the OP about SEAL bad conduct and warcrimes. It is not my fault the Army seems to be worse than the Navy.

I just find it kind of funny that you insist random people on the internet capitalize the word correctly (something that affects the people being talked about in no way) and think it matters somehow.

It really does remind me of tranny advocates and their insistence you use the correct pronouns for someone being accused of rape.

I'm talking about something called a tell. That is, when somebody pretends they know about something, but they don't, there are ways to tell. If there's someone selling the Navy SEAL brand, and they spell it "Seal" or "seal" it is a tell that they are grifting or if they have an opinion, they don't know the first thing about the teams.

That's why when that mouse pad company Delta Farce mentioned spelled it incorrectly, I could immediately know they weren't legit. You can spell it here however you like, I don't really care. Just know that it's an acronym and that real SEALs are very attentive to that.

By the way, DELTA-STILL-ASS BLASTED-ABOUT-DUNBAR-CONFIRMED. The Dunbar fireworks keep exploding. I love it. Deltas are so fucking sensitive. Even SOCOM already admitted it was not an IED, and the JSOCarchive people are still ass blasted and lying. (By the way, I don't cross-post on Reddit, but thank you cross-poster for spitting facts)

Also they are shitting on O'Neill in the most pathetic way. Deltas are in full fling the hot potato to the Navy mode. This is some low-IQ humor btw
