Now Delta Force are "Quiet professionals?"
It's not enough they have to take the lions share of the Army SOF budget, but now they have to usurp the phrase? They don't want to be talked about.....except when SEAL TEAM 6 is getting talked about.

DAMN it hard to even READ that site with all the frigging pop-ups, register here, "turn social reading on" boxes, "like on facebook", crap...and thats with "the pop-up blocker" turned ON 
Bottom line-
The boys from the RedRoof Inn are doing their best work when no one knows about it. I am happy NOT to hear of their exploits, simply because that usually means that something that we weren't supposed to know about i the first place went horribly wrong.
Having to suffer the TV show "The Unit" is embarrassing enough

I had to re-read the title twice before I realized this wasn't from "The Onion."
