Well, first I wrote that I thought I recognised one of 'em...not personally, I mean from the web. There's quite a famous spec ops forces bloke...called Ghost, bearded fellow...rides a horse wearing arabic clothing mostly. But then I remembered the guy isn't Delta. Though I have my doubts these are Delta...probably a joke by some 82nd troops. You know there's a running joke in the US military about (how they like to call them) DELTA OMFG !!!1111. I don't know....just seems a mishmash of different units...the video, I mean.

I'm not an expert, but I do know when something doesn't quite feel right...

edit: Oh yeah...and the fact that I'm pretty sure that Delta don't go on patrol.

I do know they conduct raids, so it could be too and from a raid. Also, dressing up like the enemy is a typical tactic, and I heard a big hoopla about it over here because our guys were guarding the Afgani pres, but they were trying to blend in and look arab by not shaving, etc, and some press guy got a hold of it and made a big deal about how our guys looked so unprofessional! What a bunch of stupid reporters! The very fact they looked so Arab and unshaven makes me thing the very opposite!

I know they dress up as arabs...but what I dont find credible about the video is 1) Too many patches on the BDUs... 2) In one part they were on patrol...something Delta doesn't do. 3) Too many day operations... 4) You wont find vids on Delta (this already makes it likely that the vid is a joke) 5) Fort Brag home of the 82nd...they hate Delta...so I've heard 6) They all have conventional M4s 7) There are too many of them and 8) They don't seem to hide their faces (which spec op forces are required to do)


...too many nuances....I'm pretty sure it's a hoax

Ok, apart from Wiki...I can probably go over the video and find lots of reasons why they can't be Delta...from patches on BDUs, vehicle types, strange video sequences, etc etc. But it'll probably be time consuming...so please don't ask me to do it. But rest assured...I have a "feel" for this type of thing...and I'm pretty sure it isn't Delta.

edit:

Ok, just one...start the video...in the first ten seconds you have 2 men (1 bearded) by a BMW where their faces are shown clearly, without sunglass.

edit: Probably the guys at the beginning are contractors who wanted to make out they were in Delta...so they put themselves at the start and a mishmash of crap they found on the net (I mean...I didn't know Delta pilots flew A10s)...the only thng which is geniune, is when they went to Fort Bragg to film the sign.

Delta Omfg !!!1111
