Eric L. Haney
Eric L. Haney (born August 22, 1952) is a retired member of the United States Army counterterrorist unit, the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1SFOD-D), more commonly known as Delta Force. In recent years he has been writing on terrorism, guerrilla warfare, and special operations. Haney is the author of Inside Delta Force, a memoir of his time in the elite unit, in which he also writes about his participation in the aborted 1980 Operation Eagle Claw mission to Iran to free American hostages.
He was a co-executive producer of the CBS television series The Unit, created by David Mamet and inspired by Haney's special operations experiences. Previously, Haney was a technical consultant on Mamet's 2004 film Spartan, starring Val Kilmer.
Early life and education
Haney was born on August 22, 1952 and raised in rural Lindale, Georgia, just outside the town of Rome. He graduated from Pepperell High School in 1970.
Military career
Haney joined the Army just out of high school in 1970 and became a platoon sergeant by the time he was 22. He served for several years in the 75th Ranger Regiment as an infantryman and was slated to become an instructor. In 1977 he volunteered for and was selected to train with a new elite counter-terrorism unit that the Army was creating. Of the 163 soldiers that tried out, Haney was one of only 12 to succeed. This unit became operational in 1978 as the 1st SFOD-D, or Delta Force, with Haney joining the unit at least 13 months later; following further training and operational acceptance nearly six months after that he became a full member of the unit. The unit had been formed and organized by Colonel Charles Beckwith approximately 19 months before Haney became an asset and operator with the unit. Haney served in the unit until 1986, participating in a number of special operations in Latin America and the Middle East.

Here With Me
by: Arika KaneNo, Yeah, Ohhhhhhh
I need you here with me
[Verse 1:]
The days are long and nights are cold without you here with me and you're the only one I want to hold
Nobody else can help me
Been workin so hard every day to do what I gotta do.
But boy I miss you in every way
So hurry up and come through.
[Chorus:]
Baby I need you here with me
Or else I'd rather be lonely
No one can hold me like you do,
Please me like you do, there's no one else but you no.
Baby I need you here with me
Or else id rather be lonely no.
You're the only one that can
Truly understand my heart.
[Verse 2:]
See life can sometimes be so hard
Ladies do you feel me.
There's so much pressure on our hearts.
Sometimes it gets lonely.
It's so hard to find a good man to give you back the love that you give him.
But I found that one and
I'm holding on and
I need your love so hurry up.
[Chorus:]
Baby I need you here with me
Or else I'd rather be lonely
No one can hold me like you do,
Please me like you do, there's no one else but you no.
Baby I need you here with me
Or else id rather be lonely no.
You're the only one that can
Truly understand my heart.
[Verse 3:]
You're the only man that I want in my life for good
I just need you here with me
There's nowhere id rather be and
I just wanna feel you here
Holding kissing loving me
Nobody can make me feel the way you do.
[Chorus:]
Baby I need you here with me
Or else I'd rather be lonely
No one can hold me like you do,
Please me like you do, there's no one else but you no.
Baby I need you here with me
Or else id rather be lonely no.
You're the only one that can
Truly understand my heart.

Baby I need you here with me
Or else id rather be lonely no.
You're the only one that can
Truly understand my heart.
