Delta Force Involvement and Presidential Authorization at Waco

Evidence from the Department of Public Safety and FBI surveillance suggests that members of the Combat Applications Group, popularly known as Delta Force, were present and armed during the Waco assault. Michael McNulty notes that only the President of the United States has the authority to waive legal restrictions and order Delta Force into domestic operations. Despite denials from the Clinton administration, the documentary claims to have confirmation from multiple sources that a mixed group of Delta Force and Hostage Rescue Team members were active on the final day.

Former Delta Force Commander Steve Berry claims that the military is preparing for domestic counter-terrorism operations aimed at American citizens who resist socialization. Berry mentions a 1993 survey given to operators regarding their willingness to serve under United Nations control. He suggests that veteran operators were pushed out of Delta Force to make room for younger personnel who are less committed to the U.S. Constitution.
