Ha, ha. It’s not often that you hear such references to the non-essential bus in secular circles.

After they have a few nice quiet talks with him repeatedly washing his face and head, (water boarding) they will let him take time for himself filled with modern entertainment and minimal human contact. (6 months of blaring heavy metal in isolation on bread and water) Then a few more nice quiet talks just to make sure he has said all the wants to. After that a nice peaceful dirt nap in an undisclosed location.

Delta makes the Seals look like little school boys.

Humping up the hills in afhgan, the Seals kept making us stop to “check their kit”, in reality they couldn’t keep up.

Delta on the other hand were extremely professional, not a bunch of cocky know it alls.

I’d deploy with the Delta lads, Seals, not so much.

Weren’t we told not that long ago, that these teams
couldn’t enter the country without some kind of
invite from the host country?
So they must have worked a deal of some kind?

I’m just grateful for both the Delta Force and the Seals.

God bless them all and keep them safe.
