After a question removed by the boyos of Yahoo how about a Wikipedia quote "United States - The US Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D (A)), commonly, but mistakenly referred to as Delta Force, was based on the SAS. Its founder, "Chargin'" Charlie Beckwith, having served on exchange with the SAS in the early 1960s, caught the "SAS bug" and, recognising a void in the US Army, devoted a large part of the remainder of his career to the raising and establishment of a US Special Forces unit modelled on the SAS. Operational Detachment-Delta is a late addition to the Special Forces, whose main purpose is to lead locally recruited troops in a manner pioneered by the Jedburghs teams of WW2, a joint British-American effort which worked with the French, Dutch and Belgian resistance." So you woosey Yanks who complained last time---eat my dirt. The UK - SAS is best. US Delta - phaaw, USMC - get out of her you lady boys.
