I think every time I’ve heard anyone whose seen Delta work describe it it sounds about like this. Elite of the elite.

That may be the case but I still will never fly with them again after they lost my luggage.

They put their pants on one leg at a time though. Don’t forget that. Respect, obviously yes. But we have many things in our arsenal that rarely see the light of day.

💯

I have known quite a few special operations guys over the years. I have only known 3 people that I am fairly confident were delta. They never confirmed anything, and I had way too much respect to ask, but some of the stuff they talked about had me fairly certain. Those guys had some kind of aura about them that was just different. It felt like standing next to a tiger that knew at any moment it could take apart everyone and everything around them, they just chose not to. The way they moved, the way they looked at you, all of it screamed dangerous and lethal. They were also three of the nicest people you could ever meet.

Delta operators are basically these guys

It goes well beyond just their physical ability too.

Yeah I heard an interview not long ago where the dude was saying that fairly often guys will pass selection on all the physical requirements and shooting skill stuff and still get rejected because they’re just not the right guy for it.

When you get to the top tier, dudes are like the Olympic athletes of war. Like watching a gymnasts who has trained their whole life do things that defy normal human ability, only with guns.

High praise coming from a legend in his own right. @IrvingNick33 is a great follow for those who aren’t already doing so. He’s an absolute weapon.

I used to train Jiu jitsu with a guy that was retired delta….just being in the room with him was frightening. Super nice dude, but rolling with him was scary. You just knew he was always holding something back…I’d check him for knives before every roll, he’d laugh, but I’m sure he had one and I just missed it!

Why are there so many of these guys on the talking circuit? Whatever happened to the quiet professional?

I believe it. I’ve met only 1 Delta operator in my life and, he was an absolute stud…who went out of his way to downplay how much of a stud he was, while smoking you in every conceivable physical event.🤣

I’ve had words with some of the guys before, to stay in their lane. I specialized in what I did, and they specialize in what they do. That being said, they are REALLY good at what they do. One guy I knew was getting off the Blackhawk after a mission. We were getting breakfast and I asked how the mission went. He said “Thank God AKs are full auto.” Not the typical perspective you would expect. One of the AQ guys got the drop on him as he was getting off the bird and went full auto. The muzzle flip put the rounds over his head. He put the guy down as he advanced on the target. They play in a game where winning and losing is measured in millimeters.

Delta took our hostages with dudes int he building and stole our van, JSTARS had to cheat because they were about get on a C130 without anybody seeing them. We didn't get our van back for 2 days

😂

Masters in the surgical application of violence. Though none of them would ever admit to being a master at any of it....forever students of war.

Nick knows what he is talking about. For confirmation of their capabilities see what they did to Maduro’s henchmen.

i stil think... is there a elite of elite of the elite?

And ya know what else they are? Quiet Professionals!! Unlike some others

They for real like ninjas

Nick Irving is a bad mf.

Dude obviously never saw me in my prime with the silenced P90 and ninja pro

I saw an IR video of training demo at a conference 20 years ago, the speed he talks about was what stood out to me. It was 4-5 guys clearing a 3 story building and it looked like fire flies in a tornado. Even for training, it was impressive.

My Dad did 26 years in the 5th SFG, Retired a SGM on the 555 Cambat Dive team. He has his 3 Tiers of Fear. They'd jump at 36k, 12 miles offshore and swim in and kill everyone. He told me Delta guys make him seem like a civilian. Dad tried, but a claymore injury stopped him(ears)

I worked with them in Zhari in 2011. They needed us to cordon off a small village for a HVT extraction. We set up. They came in after I laid pre mission fires. Were in and out in under 10 minutes. Whole cell was decimated.

How is this guy still around he is so full of shit it's not funny, ya a 50 bmg that doesn't hit you can still rip your arm off. He lost all credibility when he said this he is a plant

US special forces are the best in the world. Delta is the best of them. It’s unimaginable.

Even after being left for dead, wounded, and facing overwhelming odds on that frozen peak, TSgt John Chapman got back up and kept fighting. He held that mountain alone, saving the lives of his SEAL teammates and the Rangers who came to extract.

Yeah. People don’t get or really can’t comprehend what the tip of the spear is really like …

I had the privilege to train with a former CAG guy a few years ago. The most humbling experience but also the best learning I’ve ever had.

And now they have a Discombobulation Gun that turns people in to the Jelly of the Month.

@zhao_dashuai yall don’t stand a chance 💀

I listen to a lot of the ex unit guys and they all have the same story, DEVGRU too, but these guys get through OTC or Green Team training for a year or so and think they're amazing (they are), they get to the their team, they do a live fire CQB drill and get left behind.

TRT guys I’ve known with who trained with Delta down in Memphis said same.

We have the Best Trained Killers in the World 🌎

Surgical! I saw brit sf in 95. Just training. But that was bad ass. Saw after math of delta, in early 2000s. The aar was from a 7 min operation.🤯🤯🤯🤯

Who is that guy? I believe him, but curious how he knows

Delta is so batshit good they are making decisions at a speed like a race car driver. It is so impressive to watch.
