Delta trains. SEALS shoot. Do we use the arbitrary SEALS kill count? Or do we use the Delta "we trained these guys, and they killed this many" count?

Id be willing to bet SEALS killed 60 to 1 in combat. Delta kills 1 to 3 in direct combat.

They arent comparable. Delta trains, Seals kill. Really simple as that

so it isn't weapons related

>>30575032

In practice. By definition, Delta trains. I can go 20 different MOEs and not learn a language. I want Delta, and I need 20 langues and couldn't care less about a rifle. Delta are the guys who train Pesmerga. Seals are the shooters who take out Bin Laden. That is an oversimplification but it is true. Seals train to shoot. Delta trains to talk.

I'm still 90% sure you have Delta and regular Special Forces confused.

Special Forces are supposed to ride in on horses, raise an army, and train them to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.

Delta is supposed to find people that have been causing America problems, and shoot them in the head before they realize what's going on.
>>
>>30575072
>I need 20 langues and couldn't care less about a rifle.
Right here is when I realized you know literally nothing of what you are talking about. Deltas already know several languages due to the fact that a lot of SF guys serve in delta and speaking different languages is a requirement for SF. Nothing about Deltas mission involves actually training other forces they are purely a direct action unit you retard Army special Forces are the ones that go out and train other forces.

Delta are the real deal.

The SEALs are sort of what you would get if you asked a bunch of civilians to name what they thought special forces troopers did, then pitched it to a Hollywood studio.

Deltas ONLY purpose is direct action. They don't gather their own intel, they don't learn foreign languages, they don't train shit.
That is ALL Special Forces, the ones with Green Berets

Delta is for killing high value targets, hostage rescue, and that shit.

Delta is a tier 1 unit.
Special Forces and Navy SEALS, excluding Naval Special Warfare Development Group, are tier 2 units.

Can we actually get some intelligence in answering this question? Let's take the Iraq war in 2004 for example. Chris Kyle racked up the most kills for any sniper in American history during the Iraq war. SEAL units (like his) took out tons of guys. Now, what did Delta do in Iraq?

Depends on which SEALs.

DEVGRU is definitely up there with Delta, because they get better funding and as a result better training.
>>
>>30578949

The stated political goals were to transform the politics of the region (to be more favorable to US foreign policy) and fight "terrorism". You can find many speeches by Bush and the Iraq hawks (Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, etc) stating these goals before the invasion.

"Democracy" in Iraq (if you can even call it that) was just one of the steps they deemed necessary to achieve this goal.

We now know most of his shit is made up bullshit so who knows how many of those kills were either made up numbers of bait kills. Also if you want to know what delta was up to read relentless strike it has good info on SOF units in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pic related, an excerpt talking about the ISA
>>
>>30579060
We know how many he "made up," that was about 140.

He's famous because of the 160 /confirmed/, as in someone else witnessed it and paperwork was filed and the kill was recorded. That's still more than anyone in the US military.

>Now, what did Delta do in Iraq?
One of several operations in which Delta Force operators are thought to have played important roles was the 2003 invasion of Iraq.They allegedly entered Baghdad in advance and undercover. Their tasks included guiding air strikes, and building networks of informants while eavesdropping on and sabotaging Iraqi communication lines

On June 16 2003, operators from G Squadron, SAS and B squadron, Delta Force, captured Lieutenant-General Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, he was Saddam Hussein personal secretary who was ranked fourth most important HVT (High Valued Target) in Tikrit. He was captured in a joint helicopter and ground assault without resistance or casualties and was considered a highly successful operation

On October 31 2003, Delta Force assisted A Squadron, SAS, in Operation Abalone: US intelligence had traced a Sudanese jihadist — who was believed to be facilitating the arrival of Islamist terrorists into Iraq — to 3 compounds/dwellings on the outskirts of Ramadi. Delta Force operators successfully assaulted one of the target buildings and took up over watch positions, whilst the SAS assaulted the dwellings. After securing the first of their target buildings, the SAS assault stalled when assualting their final target building and took casualties, a platoon of Bradley IFVs "pummeled" the house with gunfire and Delta Force assaulted the building, helping bring the operation to a successful conclusion. The operation is believed to have killed the Sudanese jihadist, along with a dozen other insurgents, they also captured 4 foreign insurgents, therefore finding some of the first actual proof of an internationalist jihadist movement in Iraq

>>30579265
Delta was present in the siege in Mosul where Uday and Qusay Hussein were killed, and were involved in the hunt and eventual capture of Saddam Hussein. It was a task force consisting of a Delta Force troop and a Ranger platoon that captured Saddam Hussein.

Delta Force were instrumental in April 2004 during Operation Phantom Fury when they were attached to USMC companies,usually as snipers.

On June 8 2004, Delta Force's A Squadron along with Army's 160th SOAR (Night Stalkers) carried out a raid to save foreign workers at a compound near Ramadi codenamed Objective Medford. The kidnappers were caught off guard and surrendered immediately. The mission was a complete success.

On September 7, 2005, Delta Force operators rescued Roy Hallums, an American contractor who was kidnapped on November 1, 2004, and an Iraqi captive.[20] During the Basra prison incident Colonel James Grist, the then-commander of Delta Force, offered British commanders the services of one of the Delta squadrons, but the situation was eventually resolved by the British forces.

>>30579289
In 2005, Delta force along with SEAL Team 6 and other regular Army and Marine forces conducted Operation Snake Eyes: an operation aimed at taking down local militant networks, especially against AQI (Al-Qaeda in Iraq), eliminating the groups from top to bottom, with particular focus on the "middle men". The operation took place all across Iraq, In May 2005, Delta Force Operators deployed into Task Force Blue's zone in the Euphrates valley and soon became engaged in a series of close-range battles with Sunni militants, the militants were large in numbers and fought with sophistication and intensity. On May 31, SFC Steven Langmack was killed during a mission near the Syrian border, he was the first Delta fatality since 2003. On June 17, Delta force operators stormed a house in Al-Qaim, near where SFC Langmack was killed, with support of nearby US Marine battalions, attacking a number of "bottom of the chain" Al-Qaeda insurgents. The insurgents had a bunker inside the building-setting a trap for the assaulters, as a result, Two Delta MSGs Michael McNulty and Robert Horrigan were killed. Due to the mounting number of killed and wounded in the squadron (Delta squadrons only numbered around 30 to 40 operators), General Stanley A. McChrystal asked the then-commander of UK Special Forces in Iraq for assistance, however he refused due to the treatment of detainees and the conditions of JSOC detention facility at Balad and other operational issues such as rules of engagement. So a second Delta Force squadron flown in and Delta pressed on with its operations, On August 25, 3 Delta Force operators and 1 US Army Ranger were killed in the Upper Euphrates when their vehicle was blown up

>>30579309
In early 2006, Delta Force took part in Operation Dahir: in cooperation with regular and other special operations units, the aim was to takedown AQI leadership. On 14 May 2006, B squadron Delta Force-including an SAS liaison officer, conducted a mission near Yusufiyah against al-Qaeda fighters in several, buildings/dwellings. As the Operators disembarked their helicopters they come under fire from a nearby house, the situation rapidly escalated into a battle quickly as more al-Qaeda fighters joined the firefight, the operators came under intense small arms fire and mortars. 3 al-Qaeda fighters - 1 a suicide bomber - attempted to mount an attack via a truck but were killed under a hail of fire. Door gunners from the helicopters that inserted the operators engaged the insurgents whilst AH-6 little birds made strafing runs against the insurgents, one AH-6 was shot down, killing the 2 crew. Despite the ferocity of the battle, the operators reached their targets and captured 4 insurgents and gave medical treatment for 3 injured women; during the lull, a CASEVAC helicopter was brought in to remove the locals but it too came under fire, so the Americans called in airstrikes on several targets around the landing zone. In the course of the mission, 3 other helicopters were forced to land due to damage from ground fire, total casualties amounted to 2 killed and 5 Americans wounded whilst more than 25 terrorists were killed and 4 captured; B squadrons commander was relieved of his command.

>>30579324
In April 2006, in raids conducted by B squadron SAS and B squadron Delta Force on Al-Qaeda in Iraq targets in areas dubbed: "Baghdad Belts," intelligence was gathered that led to coalition forces carrying out Operation Larchwood 4: the operation which helped lead to death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.[23] Delta was also on the ground north of Baquba on 7 June 2006 surveilling a compound where Al-Zarqawi had been staying. After a long manhunt, Delta had Zarqawi in their sights and had called in an airstrike

In November 2006, George W. Bush sanctioned a new directive to allow US forces in Iraq to capture Iranian nationals if they engaged in targeting coalition forces, the missions were known by the acronym CII (Counter Iranian Influence); Delta Force would become part of Task Force 16 whose main aim was to carryout CII missions, but later they refocused their efforts on al-Qaeda and the CII missions were given to Task Force 17. Ever since at least 2004, their had been growing human intelligence about the training of Iraqi insurgents in Iran as well as financial backing and even the supplying of weaponry to Shia insurgents, as well as members of the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution and other Iranian special forces. On January 11 2007, following human intelligence received by the CIA at its Kurdish station; Delta Force operatives raided the Iranian Liaison Office (effectively Iran's embassy in the region) in Irbil, they were inserted Black Hawk and little bird helicopters on the roof whilst a simultaneous ground assault took place. They failed to find two senior Iranian agents they were looking for, but they arrested 5 staff members who were tested positive for handling explosives, the Delta team quickly moved to Irbil airport in case the 2 targets were trying to escape by plane, but after a standoff between American and Kurdish forces, the Delta force team withdrew. Analysis of papers and phones from the Irbil raid and an earlier CII raid revealed that the Iranians were assisting a much wider range of insurgent groups, including connections with Ansar al-Sunna.

Delta Force suffered an overall 20 percent casualty rate

cool bro, where did you source this? The SEAL operations I mainly know about from Chris Kyle's book. They were also assigned as snipers for the marines, and took part in important missions like the taking of the primary oil terminal/refinery in the very beginning of the war.

I guess if we wanted to do the best possible job of SEAL/Delta comparison in Iraq, we could list all the major operations they took part in. I'm not sure if there's as good of a list for SEALS as you have there for Delta. Did Delta have anyone like Chris Kyle who wrote a first hand account of some elite level experience?
