re: If Delta Force is so much better than Seal Team Six, why didn't they go after Bin Laden?

ST6/Devgru and Delta are categorized as Tier 1 units. Delta has Green Berets.
SF Groups - where most all Green Beret serve - isn’t Tier 1.

I always thought delta force operations were classified. Not saying the seals and sf don’t have classified missions. Just have heard\read more on seals and sf.

Green Berets just means you're in the Army and are a part of Special Forces. Delta is a unit in Special Forces and they get all the cool toys and specialized training, just like DEVGRU in the SEALs.
Here's a video that breaks down the 5 Tier 1 units:

SEALs already had every chapter of the book written, just needed the ending.

You may think he was just a goat fricker running for his life, but OBL’s impact on the States continues to this day. WE’ve never been more divided and the cracks in the foundation began after 9/11.
The same people that gave the order to "kill" him are the same as those responsible for what you're giving OBL credit for. He was no more the cause of our strife than LHO was after Kennedy was shot. Our overlords within the govt own that responsibility.

I just figured if it's Delta Force doing the fighting it's a CIA led operation nowa days. And it probably went sideways. You know, nation building and all.

Which Tier 1 team gets a package like that depends on a variety of factors. Assets available are a big one.
Whichever tier one group it is be assured its most likely delivered by the Night Stalkers.

Because SF is a lower level than Delta and Devgru.
SF is with Army SOF. Delta is JSOC. There is a difference. JSOC selection is insane and by invite only. The cherry pick from SF and then still make you go through a tough selection.

Can anyone link to me any article / story on how we decided to go with Seal Team Six and not Delta Force for Operation Neptune Spear if the latter is so much better by all accounts?
“Better” is an interesting term. Honestly, it feels like splitting hairs between DEVGRU and the Unit. They both do some things better than the other in certain circumstances but make no mistake, they're both legitimate monsters.

I always thought it was blend of devgru, delta, with both operating under CIA since it was in Pakistan. Just happened that the majority were with devgru.
The cia has their own deal that pulls from both devgru and delta that is more intel and single man operations. Not everyone wants to do that, devgru/delta are both top tier teams as mentioned earlier.

Fun fact - back in the 90s my dad got to go hang out with Delta. He was high up in Army Recruiting (CSM) and it was around recruitment strategies. It was the one trip he could never tell us much about and zero pictures made. All he came back with was a coin.

Because Seals are basically the military SWAT team.
Delta Force plays a different role.
Wait what?
Delta is the premier CQB operation on earth.
What did you mean by SWAT team?

Of course, you wouldn't have to ask the question if you knew more about them.
