"...there is a small U.S. military presence at the embassy in conjunction with the Defense Attachés office to help us work on accountability of the material that is going in and out of Ukraine," Kirby said, referencing the weapons and other support the U.S. has been sending to Kyiv. "So they're attached to that embassy and to that the defense attache." Kirby...added that those troops "are not fighting on the battlefield." In addition, Fox News is told that the U.S. forces in Kyiv also provide security services.

Why doesn't Europe pay the Ukraine pensions???
Delta Force was originally all Special Forces troopers.
Good question. And for how long?
Here is an explanation for why Delta is called Special Forces, all of the original Deltas were Special Forces, Beckwith labeled them Special Forces as a way to hide the unit’s existence by titling it Delta Detachment to fit in with the already existing Special Forces, Alpha Detachment, Bravo Detachment, and Charlie Detachments, hence “Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta.”.
Below are some excerpts:
“Why Delta Force is a Separate Entity from the Army Special Forces”
One of the most perplexing questions surrounding the highly secretive U.S. Army unit known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, or Delta Force, is why it bears the name “Special Forces” despite not being part of the Army Special Forces. Despite its shrouded origins and elusive nature, Delta Force has gained a level of public recognition, often referred to as simply “The Unit,” “The Dreaded D,” or simply “Delta Force.” While its existence has never been officially confirmed.

However, there is often confusion about why the unit is called Delta rather than Alpha or Bravo and why it is referred to as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta if it is not part of the Army Special Forces.
The reason for this is simple. At the time of its creation, the U.S. Army Special Forces had Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie detachments. To maintain operational security, Colonel Charles Beckwith, the first Delta commanding officer, decided to name the new unit the “1st Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta.”
Since then, the unit has had several other names, including Combat Applications Group (CAG), Delta Force, “The Unit,” and most recently, “Army Compartmented Elements” (ACE). It should be noted that the unit is not part of the 1st Special Forces Command, the higher headquarters responsible for Army Special Forces Groups, Civil Affairs, etc.
Ukraine is unlikely to stop taking money as long as congress approves it. I think there is a responsible way for the US to provide weapons, especially if Trump is in the WH, but speaking for myself, Biden and the uniparty would be happy to spend us into the poorhouse. Apparently they still love “nation building.”
I think another Trump Administration would handle the situation in Europe better, if his people would keep the maggots out this time. Sorry I doubted your loyalty.
We tend to generalize sometimes after receiving enough personal insults and false accusations from others who do support Russia against the U.S. Quite a few individuals here have stated their wishes against our country and in favor of Russian expansionism. Some have described the Kremlin as some kind of religious savior against social corruption in our society.
Russia won’t save us. We need to do it ourselves with an honest campaign that doesn’t insult the intelligence of our readers.
Man if it keeps on raining levees gonna break..
Give it up, Ansel. All the services have special forces: there’s Marine Recon, the Air Force PJ’s, etc. They all fall under SOCOM. As a retired Navy Intelligence Officer, I can tell you definitively that the Navy has five types of Special Forces: rescue swimmer, EOD tech, diver, SEAL, and combat craft crewman (Special Boat Teams.) The Green Berets may be referred to as Special Forces in the Army, but they don’t own the word.The terms Special Forces and Special Operations are used interchangeably in the Navy. Check out the navy.mil website if you don’t believe me.
Military attachés are always present to observe wars in process. Thet’s their job
There isn’t anything to give up.
The Navy has various special operations units as do all the services.
Navy SEALs for example are a Special Operations unit, as are Special Forces and the Rangers.

“Is Special Operations the same as Special Forces?”
Despite common vernacular, these two terms are not interchangeable. Special Operations Forces include all units that fall under the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) - which includes Special Forces, also known as the Army’s Green Berets.”
It’s the pedoPIG’s feeding trough....
Like any other animal, it’s gonna try and protect its “food source” by whatever means it has available.
exactly... the Army isn’t there to protect anything
A US Army SF ODA team consists of 12 personnel... the number being 14, as leaked, may include 2 FAC’s providing CAS.
I highly doubt that there are ONLY 14 US MIL personnel in Ukraine.
The place is likely crawling with CIA paramilitary teams and those lovable private contractors stacked with former special forces operators from all branches of US MIL, and from counterparts in allied MIL special forces.
Also, bordering NATO countries would be the PIPELINE for staging and have an unknown number of MIL personnel by an order of magnitude in size greater than what’s covertly in Ukraine.
I fear that if we continue sending billions of dollars to Ukraine, it might eventually become as corrupt as Washington, DC.
Formerly, secret. 😜
Yeah, I guess that boat has sailed.
The documents, formerly known as......
Roger that. Anyone who has witnessed this same playbook before knows that the US is far more deeply involved in the war than portrayed by our corrupt, incompetent foreign policy team. When will we have our Gulf of Tonkin moment?
He lies all the time
He’s a terrible liar
And he’s so obvious
His face shows it every time
(lips were moving)
That’s true, unfortunately
