Cpl,
People will argue this to death. From people in the community I hear Delta Force guys are really unreal. I don't think French Foreign Legion really holds a flame to any of the other mentioned forces. Navy Seals are certainly the most elite authors (Joke)

FFL is more like the 82nd or Marines. Definately a cut above a standard soldier, but not even in the same league as the SoF guys.
My money would go the the Combat Applications Group (AKA Delta). SEALS do better PR and self promotion though.... ;o)

Glad you brought up the FFL because I was about to start talking about 5th group which is also known as the legion

I would have to disagree with anyone who says Navy Seals. Delta by far is the tip of the spear. I came from 1st ranger batt and have worked with both, have to say nobody comes close to delta. 6 has their specialty but it isn’t land warfare in the water I’m sure they can’t be touched. Bottom line is each unit is amazing at a certain mission.

Different mission different scopes of operation none the less professionals and elite in their craft. I would say they all are great at what they do and we are blessed to have them on our inventory.

I think the problem, SFC Cardenas, is that there is so much bleed over in skill sets nowadays, it causes a lot of confusion of who has what "specialty". Aside from USAF PJs and TAC-P, whose missions remain fairly unique, everyone else is almost doing the same missions.

Sir you are correct the roles were blurred specially during Iraq. SF mission was always training and building militias out of nothing hence the old saying drop a SF sergeant in the jungle and 30 days later he will return with an Army behind him. However they where conducting all kinds of different operations while on ground that went beyond their scope.

They blurred further with the over-mphasis on kinetic direct action missions vs. the other skills sets that SoF has.
