Watching 13 hours and black hawk down
>what's up with the delta?
I imagine all special forces have their own culture and attract a certain type of guy, but delta seems like kinda strange dudes, total patriotic bad ass dudes, but still.
>can they really have long hair? What is their primary role? How are they compared to navy seals, marine recon, green berets, and so on?
Are movies lying to me or are they really strange, hardened dudes?
idk man.

Very helpful, thanks bro
>>79585487
Their missions are pretty hot. I assume some suicide missions. I think they get a lot of leeway.
>>79586005
So are seal missions but they don't have much freedom to stray from basic grooming standards, why they difference
>>79585487
They kick some ass.

>seals
depends on the unit i believe. DEVGRU (seal team six) guys who do the same sort of missions as delta and are often embedded with them have lax grooming standards as well. i used to have the high-res version of this image, hes got a badass crusader tattoo all over his arm. that would never fly in normal units.
>>79585487
The long hair and general rough look could have two meanings depending on the situation.
First it allows them to move freely among the public because the enemy is usually looking for the generic military look (no facial hair, super short buzz cut, etc.)
The second being that they've probably spent weeks or more out in the shit and the last thing they care about are trivial things such as shaving etc.
>>79585487
13 hours is awful
>>79586927
Yes it would. They briefly tried fucking with tattoos, but it didn't work. As long as you can't see it in your Class A's, it's all good.
>>79585487
It depends from person to person. I had one as a field grade commander when I was in the army. They are allowed to grow out their hair but this guy was always clean cut. Dude did not have an off switch. He was always working and finding reasons to chew people out.
He made a bunch of weird rules and regulations that drove me crazy. Pushed an order to have all state flags removed and the only authorized flag to hang up was the American flag. Some shit how we can't have loyalties to anything besides America.
Delta boys are nothing but a bunch of undisciplined cowboys.
You have to look at the selection process and how the very many get taken out of the program as it moves along. Airborne school is pretty easy to get into but you still have a number of people that fail out. Next comes Ranger school and you can expect to lose between 60 to 75 percent. Some are very good people and I would say excellent people. Get hurt in week 15 and you are screwed, they ask if you can train and you can not or they feel you can not, you are dropped. Brutal system. Special Forces weeds out about 70 percent during SF selection and SFPAT. I flunked out of that twice before passing. It really and completely kicked my ass. Most that recycle do not volunteer to wait around for the next class. Plus while you are waiting your life is complete crap. Of the 62 in my class, 22 completed training and went on. The rest just went back to their regular job. But by the time you or someone makes it to Delta, they also have a selection process and you have to be invited. Your chances of getting there are slim.

>can they really have long hair?
In general all SOF units have lax grooming/clothing standards but this is especially true with tier 1 groups like Delta as they often work in environments where blending in with the populous is more important that uniform regulations
>What is their primary role?
Counter terrrorism, direct action, internal defense
> How are they compared to navy seals, marine recon, green berets, and so on?
Delta is roughly equivalent to SEAL Team 6, also known as DEVGRU. SEAL Team 6 is an SOF unit that recruits from the various other SEAL Teams. Similarly, Delta is an SOF unit that recruits from the Green Berets, Rangers, and sometimes even various SEAL teams. Basically, DEVGRU (Navy) and Delta (Army) are the best of the best

Rednecks.
These are the guys that don't mind sleeping in the mud cause they grew up that way.
Interestingly, most are kinda nerds. They spend their free time reading mechanical books and learning languages.
> I was a SWCC

Their idea of a good time is taking night classes and wearing carharts.
>its called the "special" forces because they are autistic.
You can teach them anything, but they can rarely balance a checkbook or hold a marriage together.
>>79585487
I'm in the navy but I've got some limited knowledge. Delta can do whatever they want. I know that because the seals can do whatever they want and delta recruits from them and the Rangers. If you meet one shake his hand and thank him for his service. They see some shit.
>>79587475
I mean, you shouldn't have loyalty to any country but America if you are American. Not weird at all

Can't comment on Delta etc, but I've ferried a few 'special' forces from the UK. They never refer to themselves as SAS or SBS, they are just 'Army' or 'Navy'. Push any further and its usually 'yeah, we are engineers' and thats it.
They like beards. They fucking reek to high heaven of BO, if you want to know what a Brit special forces smells like, find a homeless person and smell their crotch.
They don't care about you. Their officers don't care about you. They don't care about the captain of your boat, the crew of the boat, timekeeping, actually helping out on the trip. You are a glorified taxi.
They stay in groups or solo, talk to outsiders is bare minimum chat. Nothing about the 'business', usually football (soccer), movies, music, celebrities.
So you get to where they want to be, and poof, fuckers are gone. You never see the same group again, all your are left with is a few bunks that need industrial bleach to get rid of the raw sewage smell.
tldr - UK Special Forces are fucking wierd.

This is true.

What are you asking for here? SEALS I never liked. Recon are pretty chill dudes. SF are good guys but I think the 18x program killed it.
>>79590401
Don't insult Mike "The Reaper" Vining like that. He could literally flick this beefcake's neck with his pinky and it would snap on instant.

If you meet someone who was in Delta, you won't know they were in Delta.

You are aware we live in the "United States of America", right?
>>79590843
Bro, I will always believe that the true distinction between Civilization and Savagry is that when civilization goes full 1488, the slaughter is infinitely more pervasive in its calculated carnage than butthurt tribal genocides.
Vining is literally the true face of evil, and represents the above sentiment perfectly. The fact you would try to demean statements of objective fact about this Hitler-tier character and the consequential revulsion that any civilized global citizen would feel when confronted with its horror is proof only of your own antiquated misogyny, not reality sweetheart.
>>79590906
>18x program killed it
>applicants have to go through the same exact process as any other SF soldier
It's all bullshit. They usually release these films after American special forces get massacred.
The kill count will always show 50 dead terrorists for one dead special forces but the reality is very different.
38 killed and there was only about eight taliban.

Yes. But, there is a noted difference between 18x kids and triple tabbers.

Longer hair and such may be required for missions. Look up military relaxed grooming standards. SF Had longer hair, from what I saw when I was serving.

Benghazi attack,
http://newslines.org/fact-checks/did-the-navy-seals-who-died-in-the-benghazi-attack-kill-60-jihadis/
1. There have been no verifiable reports that the Navy SEALS killed 60 jihadis
2. Witnesses said that the CIA Annex attackers escaped ininjured
RESULT
FALSE
