While the info is still in that substack post, it looks like it has been removed from X the everything app.

This is the current commander of Delta Force, whose men just invaded a sovereign country, killed a bunch of innocent people, and kidnapped the rightful president.

(BTW it's perfectly legal for a US reporter to disclose classified material the leakage of which I did not procure)

a picture of the current commander of Delta Force, Chris Countouriotis

COL Chris Countouriotis is an Army Special Forces officer from San Francisco, California. Chris commissioned as a Medical Service Corps Officer in 2004 and transferred to the Infantry in 2006.

Medical Service Corps Officer

Very cool and good, that medical officers can become top ghouls. I'm sure this will have no repercussions on say, the Geneva convention or anything.

Those are the eyes of a thoroughly crushed soul.

That's assuming he ever had one to begin with.

Dead eyed freak

As reprehensible as the death threats are, there’s also a certain admission here. Normally with a “successful” military operation, there’d be a lionizing of the military leadership responsible. That they’re getting angry he’s even been named, despite it posing zero threat to the man, betrays that they see this as more a mafia goon squad operation than “defending freedom and liberty.”

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 44 points 1 month ago

I don't see it that way. They're mad that their names are being publicized because they want to operate with total impunity and lack of civilian oversight, same as ICE. They want to be able to canoe innocent people and napalm children without anyone asking them questions. They've always wanted that, only now they feel entitled to it and empowered to threaten anyone who doesn't agree into silence.

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

People generally don’t want impunity unless they think they’re going to do something that merits punishment.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, i used the wrong term there. I meant to say that they don't want any backlash or criticism or visibility to their actions, because when the other shoe inevitably drops, they'd rather nobody knew what they did or who.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago

2 years ago I would have thought "ok they've done worse but I don't think they'd just blatantly merc Seth Harp for revealing info about delta force"

Now I'm thinking he's gotta take a small boat somewhere fast as the airports aren't safe

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

what in the world would make you think a small boat would be a good option after the past few months of Caribbean boating deaths?

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

I'm incredibly bad at using my brain

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

lmfao.. same

First of that this isn't "classified information", Seth Harp just pulled this guy's information (image and description) from a publicly accessible Duke University page, which appears when you reverse image search this picture.

Duke University page

Chris Countouriotis also publishes publicly accessible research papers/summaries under this name and identity:

It's not as if his name and identity are secret/classified. I found all this in 5-10 minutes on Google.

Secondly it's highly questionable if this guy is even the leader of Delta Force himself. Yes he has a long career in special forces, but obviously not everyone in special forces with a long career is the literal commander. Harp would need to have some actual evidence here, not a screenshot of a publicly accessible webpage.

Stuff like this keeps me from reading the Fort Bragg cartel.

[-] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

I maybe misinterpreted the post, but my reading was not that the bio & picture were classified, but that being the leader of Delta Force was & that there was classified info showing that which wasn’t directly shared.

Maybe that was too charitable of a take.

[-] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

From Jack Paulson's substack:

Journalist Seth Harp just published a document he reports to be a short biography of current Delta Force commander Col. Chris Countouriotis.

So at least some people thought it was an actually classified document.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Harp would need to have some actual evidence

Everything about SFOD-D is classified, from membership to existence to activities, meaning any army SFOD-D guy has their public records displayed as anything other than. Even retired D-D guys have to play tongue-in-cheek with their participation because that's legally classified. Of course because fuckers love to brag and have a chip in their shoulder against SEAL team 6 a lot of them are fairly loose--lipped about their participation.

That said, Countouriotis' career and fruit salad screams to me delta based on my own personal knowledge and experience. I'd put my trust in Harp on having the confirmed info on this guy

Hence me using "under this name and identity".

This Countouriotis guy is obviously heavily involved in special forces, look at some of those badges. But the lead commander? That's very difficult to say.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

He's at the required rank, has the certs, the career, etc. to be selected for command. D-D isn't some sort of magical space like the IDF where everyone are generals by 20 lol
