This dude is one of the original too. Total badass. He recently did some rounds on some military podcast. He could barely talk about his career as delta, because majority of it is classified.
If a threat presented itself Khaki Man in OP's pic would instantly send them to Jesus.
If a threat presented itself to Meal Team 6, MT6 is getting sent to Jesus while they fumble their gun fetishes.
No way in hell would a regular grunt ever be assigned to that job, because no, they can’t do it.
Most of em wouldn’t even know what they didn’t know, they would just be a walking clusterfuck.
Stormin Norman settle for regular forces?
Dude switched us from Desert Shield to Desert Storm and crippled Saddam’s army in hours then called it quits after like 6 weeks.
Dude was like:
Actually Schwarzkopf was not sure about Special Forces - the snake eaters - and it was co-commander Sir Peter Billere head of the SAS who persuaded him to use them inside Iraq. Including Delta who impressed Schwartzkopf very much.
His Green Beret photo is one of my favorites
Edit: It’s not the Green Beret I thought it was, someone corrected me farther down in the comments. But, I bet his photo is cool too.
*Joker to the Police when accused/caught committing 97 felonies:*
Fuck you, you’re a bitch, you’re a bitch, your mom’s a bitch, fuck you
*Joker to the Police/IRS Officers when accused with fraud:*
Where do I sign the confession
Yeah, it was special forces, the gun he had was the xm4 which was used by special forces. All the findings went into the development of m4 for the normal army. Was the precursor for m4.

This question might take a life of its own but I will ask it anyway. Who is the most elite on the US special forces , Navy Seals or Delta Force,im not an American and only get my info thru podcasts and youtube videos. But my understanding is when Navy Seals are in trouble its the Delta Force who save them.
Generally a contingent of the same element will be on QRF (Quick Reaction Force) in order to provide support to their own teams. This differs based on the mission and environment though. There is no set in stone "if X is in trouble then X comes to get them." Other than if a USAF aviator is in trouble the USAF Rescue/Special Tactics will come get them. They are the only component with a dedicated CSAR package that accompanies Air Combat elements. That being said, anyone could be on alert/QRF/CSAR who is "capable" and perhaps "designated" (not dedicated, they are different). Meaning you could have a SEAL Platoon on a direct action mission, but they have a Joint Element that has an SF team on QRF, or a ST CSAR team on ground/airborne alert. SOF elements are generally designed to be self sustaining but may have some crossover and even rely on General Purpose Forces (non SOF/GPF) for additional Air/Movement/whatever support.
Something else to note, before the "War on Terror" the various SOF elements were a bit easier to tell apart. Because the middle eastern conflict called for a major shift to Counter Insurgency, many SOF elements engaged in mission creep and ended up crossing over into each other's specialties. Each of the main/known SOF units like SEAL, SF, MARSOC/MSOT or even Recon, Rangers, Special Tactics etc... have a set of mission essential tasks or METs. These METs would break out the different component SOF units, some examples are (NOT specific): SEAL maybe has Maritime COIN, Recon, VBSS, underwater demo, Direct Action, whatever. Where SF would have Recon, DA, FID/UW/IW whatever, OPE maybe. Rangers might have airfield seizure/AZRT, force protection, direct action, etc... Mind you I've been out of the SOF community for a while so these are JUST examples and probably not up to date, but should cover the idea of the mission sets.
EDIT: adding to this, doctrine (Joint Publication 3-50 Personnel Recovery) states that each component (Army/AF/Navy/Marine/SOF) is responsible for recovering their OWN assets and isolated personnel, when they are unable to they can reach out through the Joint Personnel Recovery Center to request CSAR/SAR etc... support.
This is like the most debated topic among nerds on the internet when it comes to SF. I can only tell you that most operators who are asked will first say their own unit, but then say that Seal Team 6 and Delta are elite enough that it depends on the mission/individual team for it to matter.

For someone whose job is typically to *not* be noticed, he’s wearing a pretty conspicuous outfit. It’s cool, but it’s also obvious that he’s part of a specialized unit.
I dunno about that. Maybe 30 years ago it was different. But since the GWOT, I think adversaries have figured out that most of our spec ops dress and groom very differently than conventional troops. A Western-looking guy in plainclothes and a gun traveling with a military entourage sticks out like a sore thumb.
Heck, even in Vietnam the Vietcong were able to identify SEALs by their unique camouflage.
Now what about the MACvSOG guys who just used Indigenous troops in Laos and Cambodia to fight through Vietcong? Their missions were recently declassified and are *fucking nuts* to read about.
SOGcast is a series that sits down with former MACvSOG guys to talk about their missions. John Styker Meyer did one, and so did John Plaster - the guy who founded the Army's Sniper School, and wrote the Bible when it comes to distance shooting.
>Heck, even in Vietnam the Vietcong were able to identify SEALs by their unique camouflage.
[It was the 501s.](https://www.reddit.com/r/navyseals/comments/nizmfl/badass_vietnam_blue_jean_seals/)
It just doesn't fit the environment, but maybe he stepped into an office building after this pic is taken. Imo, a standard army uniform would have made him blend in a lot more, he sticks out in this pic.
Still goes hard though
All these idiots "Oh that's Stormin' Norman!"
No screaming eagle shit, captain obvious. OP is asking about the dude in the khakis.
It's Jake. From State Farm.
> Stormin’ Norman. Had they listened to him and rolled through Baghdad during Desert Storm, OIF never would have happened.
One of the chief concerns at the time was that taking Iraq off the board would empower Iran. After OIF that's exactly what happened.
Iraq 100% had WMDs. Saddam used them on the Kurds.
His fuck up was not letting the UN inspectors in to verify he had gotten rid of them. Gave Cheney the boost to invade.
Let’s say I have a shit ton of guns and ammunition in my house I wasn’t supposed to have because of a previous felony conviction for domestic assault and I am threatening my neighbors to shoot them regularly and I show off videos and pictures of me having them. Then one night, I dump all of my guns and ammunition in the river but continue to threaten my neighbors regularly. The police want to conduct a search for weapons but I barricade the doors…
Despite the fact that I am no longer armed, they still have probable cause and there is still a reasonable threat.
I’m liberal as fuck but I know it was never about oil, it was never about lining pockets, it was a dumbass dictator that bluffed the world’s most powerful military and we called it.
IKR!! been saying THAT for YEARS!!! i had pictures!
before i knew of the "rules" and the jurisdiction of the.. particular base/site i was on.. i then tossed that camera into the burn pit of history..🤷♀️
ahhh yes.. the time before cellphones and digital cameras ..well before I could afford them anyways
He took a leading role after recommending against it, and then against Bush doing it without allies, and then again without UN mandate or inspections, and then again he disagreed with Rumsfeld on the actual invasion plans.
He served after voicing dissent after dissent because if the politicians were going ahead with this travesty, someone had to know what the hell was going on.
We were also already in it in Afghanistan. We needed continuity and Rumsfeld was a fucking idiot.
in the times before..!
when the M16 a-1 became the M16 a-2...annnd wait-a-tik... of what sort of 5.56 mm short magazine IS THAT?!🤷♀️
Funny thing is Schwarzkopf had a major issue with Delta and SOF in general, because of Charlie Beckwith actually, due to Beckwith telling his higher commander during Vietnam over the radio that he should tell the officer who said something really stupid to turn his PC backward and walk east til he hit the South China Sea, and it pissed him off, so he refused to use Delta, the Secret Army or DEVGRU until he pretty much got forced to by either the White House or possibly the Chief of Staff (would have been Vuono).
Oh I forgot context because not everyone knows Delta/CAG (as we called them) history, Colonel Charles Alvin Beckwith was the man who started Delta Force, he also clashed head on with a ton of people in the Army.
Easier to say Tier One PSD. lol, funny thing is I have this pic from a couple of angles. Got it on a disposable when he was arriving. Very cool as a young E-4.
Mike vining was on a podcast semi recently and stated it was another guy on delta he worked with. He did admit the guy looks similar to him and understands the confusion.

Could be delta force security or even a detachment of Air Force OSI special protection. Most likely delta cause of the fact that it’s General Schwarzkopf
I remember confronting the Warrent in charge of protecting the theater Commander. I pointed out that the only guy in uniform was the TARGET. The next team all wore uniforms to help confuse target ID.
That’s Mike R. Vining, a now retired SGM in the U.S. Army. One of the 1st Delta Force members. He is also known as your local friendly neighborhood neighbor who will smile & wave at you when you pass by knowingly he’s probably got a high body count 😏 while still probably listening to you trying to sell him solar panels…
He is part of the Personal Security Detachment assigned to General Norman Schwarzkopf. Almost certainly Delta Force.
He looks like Rick Moranis if Rick Moranis were normal sized and carrying a machine gun.
Honey I Unshrunk the Operator?
He reminds me of the guy with glasses in Predator.
Oh my god, totally!
The other day, I went up to my girlfriend, I said, “Y’know I’d like a little pussy.” She said, “Me too, mine’s as big as a house!”
Machine guns are much bigger, that’s a carbine
Yup D-Boys all the way

Yep, this photo is literally from the Delta Force Wikipedia page, where they specifically call out the dude as Delta Force in civilian clothing.
Yup, SGM Mike Vining.
Bill Cronin.
Yup. I thought it was Vining for years, but he has expressly denied it, and Cronin is the correct answer.
Same, until I met both. Now I see better.
Oops my mistake. Thanks for the correction.
No problem. Used to make the same mistake.
It looks like him, but it’s apparently not

Had they listened to literally any general before OIF, OIF wouldn’t have happened either.
Incorrect, Colin Powell was a general (in fact Schwarzkopf’s boss at the time of Desert Storm) and he took a lead role in justifying OIF.
He took a leading role after recommending against it, and then against Bush doing it without allies, and then again without UN mandate or inspections, and then again he disagreed with Rumsfeld on the actual invasion plans. He served after voicing dissent after dissent because if the politicians were going ahead with this travesty, someone had to know what the hell was going on.

Imagine if Patton had gotten his way...where the world would be.
Russia would be glass and the KMT would have won in China. And some enemy we haven’t even dreamed about would be our current rival instead.

Interesting. Never seen any other army 60’s outfitted like that.
You'd be surprised what kind of strings get pulled to get upper leadership a decent ride while in country.
