SAS took down the Taliban by crawling through their tunnels and taking them out silently, one by one, using a KNIFE.
Poll: Who do YOU think has the most elite military unit in the world?

- Start date
Spent 10 years in The US SPECOPS Community, working as a SWCC (Special Warfare Combatant Crewman) and TCS (Tactical Cryptologic Support) Operator and then moving on to the NSA's Special Projects program. I know Seals very intimately and other SPECWAR operators. Ive been back to back with those guys o and the amount of pride and skill they have, and the hubris they have they would never ever say anyone is better than them. Maybe thier equals but never better than them.th3xile said:
I can understand your perspective, but the majority of them that I've met have all been very soft spoken and modest. Almost Beta at first glance. Hell, at my church there was a guy completely subordinate to his wife who used to be in Delta. There's a mixed group and no way to decide what way every one of them is going to act, but I know for a fact that a LOT of them are incredibly modest.Valkyr71 said:
I've been spoonfed american propaganda in school and media about how we're the greatest military ever, so I have gut reactions both for and against that option, but it was to my understanding that as far as individuals go, Israel has the most elite soldiers. It would make sense considering their military history. Unfortunately I haven't heard too much about the SAS but most people here tend to think they're awesome. Then again this site has a pretty big population of English people and Americans who romanticize European policies and culture so I don't know if that's biased or not.
I would guess Israel from what I know.

All the special forces are will trained, but the SAS wins, they were started during WW2 and all special forces units are modeled on them.
More badass than the SAS are 14 Int,(The Det) which had SAS forces trained in undercover surveillance operations against members of the IRA and other splinter groups in Ireland on the terrorists home ground. That is tough, especially as the IRA will take pleasure in torturing and murdering a stranger, let alone an undercover SAS operator.

Exactly, if you know the hostage is somewhere in the building, but you dont know where, then you dont use grenades to clear rooms. Thats just dumb. Why not use flash grenades? Or use your training and skill to charge into rooms?CannibalCorpses said:
The Navy Seals are well trained like all american special forces. But they dont have much real action experience, and America doesnt like sending them in to battle. With the SAS, the British send them in when ever they can. During the gulf war, the head of UK military had to fight the USA to get the SAS on the ground behind enemy lines.
He who dares wins, the S.A.S. are awesome.
Special mention goes to the Israeli special forces and the SEALs.
