I did 28 years in the Army. Delta is not the Army. They call them “Special Operations” for a reason. Ask your son how many people were in Delta. Then, ask him if they were used like Infantry. Ask him what the average rank and age is in Spec Op units. The Marines trained in hand-to-hand combat. The Army went running. The Army produced good long-distance runners. The Army became a cross country team with all the teamwork found in cross country running. I recommended martial arts training for the Army and the runners won the argument.
I believe you may qualify as being ignorant on this subject. I know something about it.

Sure. I am ignorant. That doesn’t mean you didn’t make an ignorant remark. All Specials Forces guys will be surprised to find out you have removed them from the Army.

What were you a motor pool or supply Sgt?
