The Army’s 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta — or “Delta Force” or CAG, or whatever its latest code name might be — is one of the best door kicking-units in the world.

From raining hell on al Qaeda in the early days of the war in Afghanistan to going after the “deck of cards” in Iraq, the super-secretive counterterrorism unit knows how to dispatch America’s top targets.

The problem with this is that anyone who actually knows anything about this unit can't tell you anything.
What I have seen in the media that seems true to me is that about 80% of the unit is made up of rangers and most of the rest are seals with a few jarheads tossed in.  That seems like it should be true but who would I be to know for sure.

I remember someone telling me one time that the Col Beckwith they were talking about thought he was another Custer.  The rumor I heard was that he thought very highly of himself, but again, who knows.....
