I doubt you'll hear about him or many of the Delta personnel, as many of them did not want to be further identified, etc. Mark Bowden came into some critcism when he wrote Black Hawk Down, as some believed the few Delta folks he talked to provided a skewed view of the mission and events in October, 1993. I don't share that criticism, and he wrote an outstanding book.

Most SFOD operators, DEVGROUP Team SEALS, etc, are almost fanatical about avoiding the spotlight

These guys take pride in doing a difficult job well, and expect that their achievements will go unrecognized outside the community.

Army SF prefers " The Quiet Professionals", and most view publicity seeking as unprofessional.
