one last thing, you say the SEAL teams that went into Grenada and Panama didn't do do well, actually no one did so well. In Grenada, Army rangers crashed three helicopters, a few Delta force guys and Army rangers crashed in the jungle prior to that resulting in dozens of wounded soldiers, and every unit on the ground was given out of date maps. In Panama, Delta was stranded in the middle of the city unable to move waiting for rescue after they crashed remember. Also need I remind you of SF's other failures, for example Delta's first mission Operation Eagle Claw, a the failed rescue attempt. Once again get your facts straight.

oh my you sound jealous, anyways everything you are saying is irrelevant. it doesn't matter what SF did in the past because again that was yesterday and today is today. The only reason why SF did all those black operations you speak of is because the commander of JSOC has always been from the army duh....thus for an operation they would send in their own boys from the army (Delta) to get all the credit, But this time the JSOC commander is a Navy SEAL so obviously he chose to send in his boys (SEAL Team Six), that is the way its always been with JSOC. the best way to say it is first come, first serve. If delta would've taken out obl they would have got all the credit. Another thing is everything you said about SF, they always have been getting the credit for black operations like everything you said, so don't be mad because this time Navy SEALs got credit for a black operation, because SF have always been getting the top secret exclusive missions, and for decades the SEALs have been ignored when it came to black ops, you know what I'm talking about. Delta has always been the go to guys for this kind of thing, but this time it was the SEALs time to shine, unfortunately for Sf (who have been getting the big piece of the cake). Besides SF was chosen to take out obl at tora bora 10 years ago, but they were unlucky, so don't say SF don't get any credit, because they have an impressive history when it comes to black ops. This is the first of many to come for the SEALs who have been ignored for decades by Army JSOC commanders. So get your facts straight.

From reading Richard Marcinko's books, one wonders how they can function with all the alcohol.
