They didn’t call in the Berets or Rangers to get Bin Laden. That speaks volumes
So they naturally called the SEALS

A Delta soldier kills a man and takes a nap
A SEAL kills a man and writes a book

I thought Obama personally directed the SEALS and gave them a pep talk the night before

Each unit of the military and within have specific roles.
You give each other hard times, but there is respect among the branches.

Delta is on another level . Seal team 6 gets a lot of press , no one knows what delta does and that’s the way the military likes it .

Exactly, it would’ve gone to Delta and not the GB’s or Rangers. Thus proving that Seals and Delta are the most comparable of the groups mentioned in the OP

Admittedly I haven’t read many biographies from the high speed units. How many guys in them aren’t super alpha outspoken type guys? Like, “this is just my job and yeah I guess I’m a badass”

The SEALS are not comparable to Delta
DEVGRU is comparable to Delta
Seals are comparable to green berets
They are all very different, but that’s the comparison for eliteness/makeup

Of the few I know/ have met, they are all pretty humble about it

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing two SEALs in my life. Both guys were just this side of crazy, and honestly slightly terrible human beings.
But I can’t think of two people I’d rather have standing next to me if shite went down. The best way to describe it is these guys only know how to win.

Delta Force- considering DF recruits from all branches, and includes former SEALs, you can’t even attempt to equate your ordinary SEAL teams with the Unit.
Shut up

Are you sure he was delta ? Don’t know a whole lot of real delta guys that talk about it .

Delta takes Seals, force recon , green berets so the best of the best.
They are the elite

I have never seen or heard of Delta members except when one is killed
