Well thats the thing, they arent infantry units. They are guys you send into a situation where you know 90% of the situation; how many bad guys, what their equipment is, what they setup is etc. all on top of having the very best support on speed dial. These guys are not at all trained for assaulting a random objective you know nothing about other than "theres some guys over there".
I don't agree. They are infantry units. A lot, if not most, of Delta are Ranger qualified (which the main elite school for small unit tactics in the Army). And part of the job of the infantry is to know how to assess the capabilities of the enemy while they fight. Delta integrated armor QRFs and ISR after the Mogadishu disaster in 1993, but ultimately they are infantry, and recon and assessment is a basic part of infantry work. You know, the OODA loop and all that jazz, that it is taught to most NCOs.
Add 30 more pounds and indoor sunglasses and you've got a Ralph clone
Will he teach them how to collapse in a drug fueled panic attack while looking for the shooter?

Better to
If he gets any more liquored up before he does those endorsements his next one is going to look like this:
Delta/ST6 are scalpels, a regular infantry unit is a cleaver. They both kick in doors but kick in doors for vastly different reasons under vastly different circumstances.
I understand what you mean, but after GWOT and the Patriot act, I think it got to a point where more SOF were getting KIA than actual infantry because they were so overused around 2007 (don't quote me, but I think that was the year). We'll see their new role and how they evolve after GWOT, but right now, their job security is on the line. Wyman Howard shrunk the SEAL squadrons and Delta, well, I don't know, but I assume they aren't doing too well if Morgan, Pranka, Moyer, Jolly and Tucker are some of their biggest influencers.
Did some reading. Holy shit that part of the story got memory-holed
And as a final fuck you, Kyle called the marines "the closest thing to warriors he could find" in the SRS.
Special operations don't work because that's not how insurgencies work whatsoever you have to understand why the other person wants you dead to begin with and the reason the Taliban wanted us dead in Afghanistan is because we're trying to turn the kids gay and disrespecting their entire culture and saying it's completely inferior to our international man on man **** culture.
LMAO, I recognize this patch. It is a voice line from the video game "Insurgency: Sandstorm".
