They didn’t call in the Berets or Rangers to get Bin Laden. That speaks volumes

Of course they didn’t. They wanted that event to be a public spectacle

So they naturally called the SEALS

It really only speaks to the fact that a navy admiral was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time. If it had been an Army general the mission would've gone to Delta.

This is a terrible take.

Each unit of the military and within have specific roles.

You give each other hard times, but there is respect among the branches.

It’s worth noting though that ALL of Delta are special forces.

That ALL of 75th Ranger are special forces.

That ALL green berets are special forces.

But only SEAL team 6/DEVGRU are considered special forces.

Not the whole organization.

Because that's not either groups primary mission. Why would they call them? Delta Force is the Army equivalent of the ST6 but SEALS get all the publicity.

Because Special Forces and the 75th aren't part of JSOC.
