Au contraire, mon ami, any MOS can try out and qualify for Delta training if he has what it takes. They'll train you in the ways of Delta, just like any other MOS.
Speaking of Delta, Col. Beckwith trained with the SAS and GS-G9 (another crack outfit that hails from Germany) and built his idea around what he learned from them.

I must have been in an alcoholic delusion when I thought I went to the tryout in Bremerhaven Germany. Got my butt kicked in the run dodge and jump course, even though I kicked everything else. The recruiter, who was the same MOS as me, made me try it a second time, and then chewed my butt for wearing jump boots for the event (I didn't even think about it when I got dressed that morning). He said, however, he did the same thing and didn't make it until the second year and demanded I ensure I come back the next year. The next year I was out of the army as I listened to my (now-ex) wife.
German SF? Used to train as op-for for one of their units. We used to kick their butts.

Not living in the UK, security ain't the same here. Before you get your funky dagger badge etc you're a real soldier first, that ain't classified.
One fact militates against US earning the "best" title. Blue-on-blue #-ups.
Who said pilots should be considered the best special forces? US pilots are the worst, ask the Royal Fusiliers how much they like American pilots. Canadians aren't too hot on American targeting either.
In Grenada the SEALs drowned and in Panama Delta got hammered in a firefight. Not good when you tell yourselves you're the best.
The Para Jumpers are seriously hot, though. What's their new name? But that's down to mission, saving, not taking lives. They think differently.
