Delta Force Marine wins Navy Cross.


via Washington Times.
In a unique battlefield commendation, a Marine Corps member of Delta Force has been awarded the nation’s second highest military honor for coming to the defense of Americans last year at a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya.
Delta Force, a counterterrorism unit in the secretive Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), has been thought of as a strictly Army outfit. But it does take on qualified “operators,” as they are called, from other services.
Read it all here.

Curious though.  Delta is even better at keeping quiet than Special Forces.  SEALs might talk to the press like they're publicist but that's not the SF way.

So why would they put this information out?

There is an agenda going on because I'm sure there are higher profile missions that deserve publicity but aren't getting it.  So why this?  And why now?
