From what I've gathered the Canadian special forces are pretty hardcore. If there's a top 10 list of special forces and the Canadians are in it at all, they're at the top. Otherwise SAS and the Israeli special forces generally win.
It's the stories we've never heard of. Shadow men who leave no trace. We've no idea really who is the best, and if you do find out. You won't be alive for long.
Fictional wise, Spartans can't hold a candle, because fiction covers a lot of stuff. Stuff filled with better equipped, trained, and bred soldiers. Like... Spaes Mureenz (yep).Terminate421 said:
Relevant to Earth, I'd say the SAS. They train many other special forces. That says something.
The space marine armour is kind of necessary though when people are shooting either explosive rocket rounds or plasma at you. The imperial guard troopers would agree being as their armour is basically tissue paper. Plus space marines really are that big, they are genetically modified to be walking tanks even without the armour.Terminate421 said:
On topic: SAS since they seem to train half the special forces out there.
U.S Marines. One of the main reasons is that the Marines emphasize teamwork and leadership over being a soulless killing machine, like other military units do. When everyone's got each others back, a squad of Marines becomes a platoon. I'm in the Navy, and in there you also always have your trust in a leader and your buddies.
US Air and Naval forces.
There is literally not a single air or naval force on the planet that poses a threat to the US Air Force(s) and Navy. Not even our allies. And when you can't control the sky or the water, your ground forces don't mean squat.
Though, when it comes to ground forces, its a monkey shit fight really.

Where the fuck have you been? Halo 4 is coming out this year. That shit'll never end as long as fanboys will buy the adventures of Master Chief and his aesthetically schizophrenic sidetits.Terminate421 said:
It's all modernized too. That'd be a pretty cool game about warfare in the modern era.Kahunaburger said:
I think the History channel did some countdown type thing to this and I dont think SAS or USMC were even in the top 5theparsonski said:
I have to go with the Israeli fighting elite. I cannot remember what they are called.
The SBS seem to kinda suck lately though. I know it's hard to tell because the missions all these units are sent on are usually as low profile as it gets, but there have been a few stories of the SBS screwing the pooch fairly recently.SckizoBoy said:
I'd be inclined after the events of last year to say SEAL Team 6, but seem as most of the exercises that Team 6 use for training (such as the Killing House) were founded by the SAS and then exported to the SEALs, I have to go with the SAS, for basically being the Godfather of all the other badass special forces units out there.
Australia or Israel have the best small armies in the world man for man they are significantly better then say the US or China. America how ever easily has the best tech in the world which gives them a huge advatage. As for individual units the Australian SAS are the best by far closely followed buy the brits. SEALS get a good rap but have the huge technical backing of the US behind them so they tend not to be as good as either SAS for individual skills
Factually, my money's on the SAS/SBS. They never stop training, exercising, planning and preparing; and they train many other countries' special forces. It's just damn-right impressive.
You hear about their less-successful operations (see: Bravo-two-zero, Arab Spring insertion) but just think about all the successful missions you haven't heard about. The SBS are constantly in Afghanistan.
My leftover trust would be on the: Gurkas (British Army regiment of awesomeness), Spetsnaz and the USMC, in that order.
Edit: Now, that's based on how effective a unit is. If we're going straight for most deadly - I would say the Gurkas.
I mean, just look at this - they're getting rained on by artillery at the start, and they just don't give a shit.
