Delta got it from the SAS. It is still a common term with the Brits. I used to work for a brit company overseas and the term was used to describe us guys who were on the teams, and not the support folks.
At least some trigger discipline is being observed.
From my reading, the term "operator" came about in the late '70s as a term for Delta members. I believe it was a derevitive of the word "operative" used by the CIA. It has since morphed into a more generic term.
I also agree with Sig_Fiend, the term is way overused, as are other military terms; especially on the internet.
OPSEC, AO, etc. Use of those outside of the military context just irritates me.
