"What do you call an SAS shooter, who is more trained, more skilled and experienced, better funded and backed by the most advance technology there is....a Delta shooter"- unknown.

Was it Lindsay Bruce?

An SAS guy talked about how much better US Delta & DEVGRU guys are, and said the largest part is that the SAS range is a 4 hour drive. Delta & DEVGRU both have ranges within a 4 minute walk. Our guys just shoot so much more, it's really not possible for the SAS to be as good.

And he did it while being shot at and rescuing a hostage

Bro, the man even vacuumed my den. Great guy

Lmaooo ahhh Army humor. There's always one guy in a team, squad, or platoon that makes me belly laugh with their takes on things, and this comment certainly had me wholeheartedly laughing...thank you for this!

That would be cool

You do realize that some of the best devgru go to Delta. Delta is open to all branches of the military and the best of the best go there.

@@HarrisonFord11that’s not true dude, one guy has done that and it was after a break in service. Only reason he went to delta was because he would’ve had to do a full work up and deployment with a regular seal team before screening again.

@@connorhall8463 that’s not true several people have done it, just watched a combat story episode of a recon marine that did it. It’s open to all branches and several devgru have went there.

@@connorhall8463 Todd opalski is the recon marines name. You’re wrong here. Several delta operators have openly spoke about devgru, PJ’s and marines screening and making it.

Delta selects across all branches. They’ve had a navy diver, marines, a band member, a coast guard guy, etc. Most are recruited from rangers and SF, fewer but still large number from 82nd and 101st Airborne, and some from conventional infantry. This differs from DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six) as they exclusively recruit from the conventional SEAL Teams.

Good solid jacket for going for a few beers in.

SF has more red tape to cross over than Delta.

Exactly!

They need to make a living!? ......why do you need this explaining to you is beyond me

@@nickjohnson710 Delta/Devgru groupie detected

@holeefuk5690 Ha ha ! What the hell are you talking about? ......I'm not American, you fool !

Come on man. The implication from what you’re saying in your passive aggressive post is that anyone who does a job quietly is a pro, and anyone who opens his mouth in public - regardless of the reason be it to motivate, train, teach - is a hot dog. (And now anyone who points out how this thinking is backwards is a “groupie”.) While you’re creating your next-level network of labels for everyone and anything, maybe you could equate podcasts, motivational books (of which there are hundreds for myriad reasons), training and other venues as simply “giving back” by uplifting knowledge, which you’re not doing.

Respectfully it's not a "re hash" per se. It may mirror certain aspects of it.

Mountain Phase is a re hash of SAS selection. OTC is completely different than the SAS reinforcement cycle training.

It's not a selection process

@@JohnDoe69986every day is selection.

@@arighteousname5882and it’s some SOG elements to it. But the British still wanna pretend they’re the best and are the staple. Go get some braces.

Really?

😂😂😂😂

Real noice

Yes it does, fixed that problem moving forward

Budget and investment in time to have to cater to the lowest common denominator of soldier. You just heard him say that selection determines that you are the right person. OTC teaches how they do things. Not every volunteer in the Army is the right person to teach the way they do things. Plus Delta gets a lot of money to use a lot of rounds and resources to train the right person. You can't do that on the basic training or AIT budget.

Not every random "i dunno what i wanna do with my life" soldier does not require, or even deserve VERY expensive tier 1 training.

Money

Psychological profiles need to be dialed in.

Interesting question. As others have said, it has to do with time and money. But they do have a unit called the AWG, called the asymmetric warfare group. This unit bridges the gap between tier one and two special operations forces and the conventional infantry units. They’ve been around for a bit under 20 years now.

That has nothing to do with any of this. We couldn't stay there forever nor should have

What’s a mo?

@@ninjacutzI bet your wife’s boyfriend has told ya that once or twice.

LOL the GWOT was fought in over 120 different countries unilaterally and bilaterally in pursuit of Al Qaeda as a network. Afghanistan and Iraq was not the end all conclusion to the GOWT as a collective. Guys like Brent were in Syria, Pakistan, Iran, Waziristan, North and East Africa, the Philippines, Guam , the Balkans and other areas of the world where AQ and their affiliate groups tried to build influence and grow as a brand. Some of AQs most senior members were killed in Somalia as early as 2007.. You have no clue what you’re talking about

and yet you sat on your worthless ass and did nothing while we were over there

I fear that will change with the ever decreasing military budget there. I hope not tho, they’re our closest ally and we need them to stay on their shit

You always said that did ya?

Maybe they were back in the 90s lol

LOL Delta Force made the combat carbine the staple of the modern operator. That is why UK SF haven’t used 9mm SMGs in over 3 decades with the exception of very specific missions sets. It was Delta Force that implemented Free Flow CQB and drove combat shooting to the standards for the rest of the Worlds CT units to follow. Yea, sorry but Delta Force has run circle around 22 SAS for decades.

Dumb comment

Those people in sandals would teach you a lesson. Be humble. They are still dangerous

Those people with sandles and aks are trained as well. The US beat the most powerful military in world at one point(British Empire) using the same guerilla tactics and weapons made out of metal bells.
