Title:Navy SEALs vs. Delta Force: Who’s Really Tougher? 海豹突击队 vs 三角洲军团:谁更强 There’s an on-going debate on who’s tougher: a Navy SEAL or a member of the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment’s Delta Unit, a.k.a. “Delta Force.” Both are elite, super soldiers held in the highest regard for their specially-trained combat skills and endurance on and off the battlefield; they are the best of the best of the best of the military branches that they are operated by. But which one is the better badass? 这是一个持久不下关于谁更强的争论:是海豹突击队更强,还是最顶尖的特种兵分遣队、又被叫做三角洲特种部队的三角洲军团更强?这两支部队都是精英、超级战士,都因专门训练的战斗技能和战场内外的持久战斗力而备受崇拜,都是佼佼者中的佼佼者。但是谁才是真正的第一呢? The Delta Force 三角洲特种部队 First, let’s look at the Delta Force. While made popular in pop culture via Chuck Norris in a 1986 movie, this real, yet clandestine special operations unit spawned from the U.S. Army is so secret that the U.S. government doesn’t officially acknowledge its existence. It was created in October 1977 by U.S. Army Colonel Charles Beckwith in response to the many terrorist incidents of that decade. According to GlobalSecurity.org, the 1st Special Operations Operational Detachment Delta unit (1st SFOD-D) specializes in counter-terrorism missions, including hostage rescue, reconnaissance, and barricade operations. Delta Force soldiers come from the elite of all branches of the military, and are carefully screened both physically and mentally before entering an intensive six-month training course to be versed in — and specially trained for — a multitude of dangerous and volatile scenarios. |
