>Sure, Delta has a 28 year old E4 as an operator It's not hard to poke that train of thought full of holes. Delta Force didn't get there on foot, and they aren't pilots. So it stands to reason that there was support involved. Assuming any of this is legit. I had reservations about the tHeY'rE gOiNg tO eXeCuTe a FiFtEeN yEaR GirL story, and suddenly we're hearing eight political prisoners were liberated? Da fuck?!?

@MCMLXVIIOTG@nicecrew.digital @BroDrillard@nicecrew.digital @Sovereign@nicecrew.digital @QuisSicutDeus@poa.st @judgedread@poa.st @lks@poa.st in a combat operation "support" amounts to a couple medics and forward observers. SOF has those capabilities organically, because they operate in small self-sufficient units even if this was a nuclear recovery mission (it wasn't) they would've sent a tier 1 team trained for exactly that. it's literally a core mission for JSOC units any pilots would be warrant officers or commissioned officers if they brought rangers for security they'd all be in their early-mid 20s at those ranks. maybe 27-28 for the SSGs the idea that iran just captured dozens of SOF guys is insanely retarded and there isn't a shred of evidence that there was even a direct firefight on the ground. I doubt an organized iranian force larger than 4 guys got within 5 miles of them

Dude, the number of 28 year old E4s in the Army is probably less than 100. The number of those that are CPLs is probably less than half that. This also ignores that it was DEVGRU that did the rescue. And PJs, so the support would be Air Force. Guess what service doesn't have CPLs?
