The SAS were heavily involved in Malaya fighting 'commuinists'. From my understanding the SF's fight against communism if often a cover story for fighting ET's, clones and other non-human creatures. My mohter has a photo of me holding a pit viper snake in Malaya as a youngster, so this is not a false memory.

You were not born when the SAS fought in Malaya. However, the use of cover stories is a given in the SF world. In other operations SAS teams actually 'retired' from the Army and were sent as total deniables into war and other situations. If caught, they were labelled as mercenaries or private contractors.
They were promoted and reinstated into the army on their return.

So far I am understand that Delta Force was formed in 1977 from the USASOC

SOFD-D / CAG was formed in 1977 after 'charging charlie' spent time with the SAS and came away realising that an effective, iron willed counter terror unit was needed. From him SOFD-D was born. It never had anything to do with the Green berets.
(The 'Delta' moniker was from 'Operation Delta', which was a special team during Vietnam war to train south vietamese and other troops in long range recon patrol and recce skills. Col. Beckwith was aprt of this and used 'Delta' in later years as it was skills he saw were vital to specialised troops).
