Genuine Delta Force Images?

[Ding Chavez]

i found these over at *****images.com and they appear to be in my opinion genuine delta force photos.

what do you guys think?

over there it says they're time life photos and the first three are of halo training and the last 2 are of the actual delta force compound.

p.s. if anybody has a *****images.com account can you please post these without the ugly ass watermark ;-)

If you'd just give the captions with them...

Definately.the Guy in Black looks just like Sandison form BHD,so they must be Delta!! rofl

Looks like the Golden Knights getting ready for a jump :D

Lots of people go through HALO. rofl

My thoughts exactly, that's why I asked for the captions...

[moughoun]

Just my opinion but I doubt serving Delta member's hang around posing for snap's :D

[Wilco]

Those last two look like a Pararescue school I remember seeing on a show.

[Ding Chavez]

well just to prove you know it alls wrong i did a little research of my own into the photos authenticity ;)

and heres what i found the photos are part of the time life pictures collection which is hosted by *****images.com and can be viewed here http://www.timelifepictures.com furthermore all photos in this album were taken and submitted by time life photographers.

now i don't know about you but i for the most part consider time life a pretty credible source for media since their photos in some circumstances will be viewed by millions and would surely come under heavy scrutiny if they were misrepresented.

so the point i'm trying to make is these photos weren't just pulled off of somebodys website who claimed them to be photos of delta force.

now as if that's not enough to convince ya i also did a little research on the photographer listed as submitting them and his name was greg mathieson and after a little research on him i found out that hes the president and chief still photographer for the mai photo news agency and a little bio about him can be found here http://www.antonnews.com/glencoverecordpilot/1998/07/24/news/bill.html in which it mentions his work with seal teams and f-117 pilots amongst other things.

also here's another little bit about him here http://www.usni.org/Proceedings/articles03/promathiesoniraq.htm

now if you add all these facts up it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the photos i posted are most likely genuine photos of delta force.

anybody care for a rebuttal? :D

p.s. you can view the photos with captions by going to the above mentioned address and typing "delta force" in the search bar there.

what do you guys think?

Your "research" doesn't mean crap. These could be any HALO trained military personnel, not just Delta. Just because something says Delta doens't mean it is. Why would anyone above would care for a rebuttal? You asked our opinion and you got it. Don't start crying to momma because you don't like what we say.




it doesn't take a genius

Apparently it doesn't, because you seem to believe everything you read, so YOU'RE not a genius!

So what have you just proved? The only thing you proved is that the HALO guys are more likely to be SEALs than CAG...

Besides, members of Delta Force don't exist as Delta Force is only an old nickname...and photos of Ft. Bragg could be photo's of the 82nd barracks for all we know.

[fred_engles]

We shouldn't be so hard on Ding. If you go to time-life picture search (http://www.timelifepictures.com/source/CFW/Product.aspx?p=9&e=0&pg=1&am=-1), and search for 'delta force,' those pictures do come up, and the captions do say they're Delta.

Not that I care either way: they're not very interesting pictures anyway. But Ding does seem to have reasonable grounds for calling them authentic. [Timee-life *could* be wrong, of course].

[grabie_bis]

hey thats a Spanish EADS-CASA C-212 !!!!

negative because if you go to

http://www.timelifepictures.com and search "navy seals" like i did "delta force" you'll see almost all the navy seals photographs there we're submitted by the same photographer greg mathieson and if he was granted access to take the photographs of the seals is it that hard to believe he was granted access to take the photos of delta?

not really, but that's just my opinion.

and molsen relax over there before you have a stroke i'm just telling it like it is man and we're all entitled to our own opinions it just so happens that mine and yours differs

Yes, it is that hard to believe since the military hands out info on the seals, but offically, as far as the media and public are concerned, Delta doesn't exsist. These ARE NOT DELTA! Aside from the fact that we don't even know if delta does recive HALO training, dozens of other units do! Those could be PJ's, CCT, CSAR, AFSF, USASF, DevGru, Seals, Rangers, airborne infantry, or a bunch of civilans who payed to parachute out of a military plane. Delta doesn't pose for photos, the only known photo of delta is from Panama, and that one probably isn't even delta. Those are not photos of delta, accept it. Photos of delta don't exsist, DoD would NEVER have let these photos been taken if it was delta.

[Ding Chavez]

yea your right chief those arent delta their probably just a bunch of airsofters horsing around right? :roll:

lol

now that's your opinion but if you don't mind me asking how did you come to it?

did you do any research on the subject to back up your claims like i did or are you just talking out of your ass when you boldly say "These ARE NOT DELTA!"?

my money's on the latter :D

[StealthMode]

I will not come to a conclusion, except they are special forces

Notice how in the third picture the last guy is kinda concealing his face. As well as NO ONE is looking at the photographer. And notice photo 1 and 2 of the guy. He has his breather on, and cannot be identified.

It seems that everyone is aware of protecting identity. You can obvisouly see that the photgrapher knows not to reveal identity.

They are deffinitly Special forces, to a degree where identity is important. That rules out several units, as we often see pictures of Green Berets and assorted Special Forces groups, including SEALS, identity frequently.

If the first pictures were taken at BRAGG like the pictures of the buildings.....would DEVGRU be at Bragg to do this training?

[ibstolidude]

hey thats a Spanish EADS-CASA C-212 !!!!
hey jumping a CASA is not that unusual at Bragg especially for hollywood pay hurts.

[Ding Chavez]

i believe devgru has their own training facility rumored to be located in dam neck, virginia

[TALOS]

Wow, everyone is so quick to yell "fake, not delta" when quite frankly you really dont know anymore than the next guy. Many people on this forum seem to think they look more "real" if they say something is fake, Ding looked it up and stated what he believes and backed up why, the naysayers just scream "it cant be" with no real reason other than "Delta hasnt been admitted to". So waht, Canada didnt admit JTF2 even when it was obvious that they existed also.
The captions say Delta, the photographer has had access to other SF groups, no identity has been shown, so, there is no reason to say its not true except if people just like to argue.

[molsen]

If the first pictures were taken at BRAGG like the pictures of the buildings.....would DEVGRU be at Bragg to do this training?

Yes, they would be at Ft. Bragg doing this considering the first phase of the school is at Ft. Bragg. The second phase is in Yuma, AZ. There is only ONE Military Freefall School, and ALL services go to the SAME school. Those guys that are in the yellow freefall suits are more than likely students going thru the school. It's funny how people who have NEVER been in the military, or are too scared to join (yes, I mean YOU!!) seem to know everything about the military, special operations, etc. If you don't know, then shut the hell up!

[molsen]

i believe devgru has their own training facility rumored to be located in dam neck, virginia
You "believe"? If you don't know FOR SURE, then don't comment on such matters. You kids are unbelieveable.

wow MOLSEN... FOR REAL. Its a damn forum, people can speculate and say things, and comment on matters that they are not sure about if they want.

If you "believe" that he is wrong, and you know something that he, or WE do not, why dont you correct him, or tell us what you know, instead of being a bad ass tuff guy.

After all we are all "kids" on here... :bash:

Your the one acting like a kid with such a stupid response to Ding.

Thank you for your response to MY post though, it was informative untill you ruined it by being stupid at the end of that one as well.

Again, that comment is just stupid. Plenty of people in the military know a WHOLE lot about things regarding it, such as certain people in the intelligence community.


Thanks again for the usefull part of your post :hug:

[Ding Chavez]

molsen it sounds to me like you need a warm glass of milk and a nap if not a slap right in the jaw.

first off you punk i said i believe devgru has their own training facility rumored to be located in dam neck, virginia because i don't know for sure and i don't think anyone outside of the naval special warfare community does either but what i did do was offer the gentleman an answer based on all information made publicly available to us in regards to the subject so far.

but since you seem to be so knowledgable about the subject why don't you enlighten us all as to your credentials seeing how you seem to know everything.

certainly an internet toughguy like you would be just as menacing in real life as you are online :D

I was kinna wanting to see that myself, dont call people kids and mouth off about "non military" if you arent ready to ante up who you are and where you get all your "better" knowledge.

my money's on the latter :D

I spent the past 3 years studying various aspects of modern military, focusing on special operations.

Look, they're not delta, there's no way they are, this disscussion has been had many times here. Some one spots a soldier in "gucci" gear and comes running in saying "OMG It's DELTA!!!11". Face, it's not. It never will be. Photos of delta don't exsist.

I saw the captions on time life, and guess what, they're wrong. Time life IS NOT a credible source of military info. They are a media outlet with no real knowledge of the military. They can't tell the diffrence between a PJ and an MP if their life depended on it. Hell, they don't even know what a PJ is I bet you. The media knows jack all about the military. If some rotc guy was walking around in a black vest they'd probably say it was delta too. They don't know the diffrence between the SF units. As far as they know in the way of SF is that the military has 3 special operations units, delta, rangers, and seals. So, if those are the only ones they know, that's who they're gonna say it is. I'm sorry, but I think trusting time life or any media outlet as a reliable source of military info is just plain moronic.

Yes, I know they are not delta, why? Because I have more common sense than that. The military would never commision a photographer to take pics of a unit that they say doesn't exsist.

End of story.

Definately.the Guy in Black looks just like Sandison form BHD,so they must be Delta!! rofl

Wow, you even know his name! rofl

[hoganshero]

Ding has merely stated that he believes they are photos of Delta as time life says they are. He's entitled to believe whatever he wants true or not. He's also entitled to post such opinions as " i believe devgru has their own training facilityrumoredto be located in dam neck, virginia. " It's not like he said he trained with them or something. Relax Molsen!

I did a search for Delta at time life and those photos do come up, as well as some other photos I believe are also delta force.

Somewhere a guy actually from Delta/CAG, whatever, is sitting at his home computer laughing his A$$ off at everyone fighting about this "OMFG DELTA!!!!!1111!!!" crap.

Quit bickering about crap you don't actually know anything about, go load up your airsoft BS and pretend to be studs! When you're done get down on your knees and thank God that there are men, like those in Delta, and women (in the regular army) who are willing to step up to the line, sign their names, go through training, and fight for your right to post silly arguments on a computer screen!

NOW SHUT THE FRUCK UP AND CRY TO YOUR MOMMA'S BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU ALL LIVE AT HOME STILL!

OK this is stupid. Any threads relating to the Big D should be immediatly locked.

[colonel]

It's like Delta Force is the 'holy grail' of every schoolboy on this site. You are not going to find any class photos or pics of them at a reunion barbeque so get a life and move on.

[EsoognomEhT]

Sorry, Delta what? who?

[ronin2172]

OK this is stupid. Any threads relating to the Big D should be immediatly locked.
I agree and anyone who ressurects a long dead thread on the dereaded D should be banned....

Yes. That is the compound. I think the jumpers are ABN-SOTD, or 82nd Sport Parachute Activity, or similar...not Delta.
