Poll: Who do YOU think has the most elite military unit in the world?

Firstly as many people have said why no Israeli option?
I'm inclined to say SAS (bit biased being English and all); Spetnez are gonna be high up the list due to being soviet era militray group which sort of isn't meant to be operational still; trains by playing football holding guitars in sibera or putting fires out with their fists

No JTF2 so im gunna go with seals. If any of you brits saw the training Seals go through not one of you would have voted SAS
I'd say that the SAS is the most effective and elite. There was one unit in Colombia I think who camped out in one spot in the jungle for a whole week, not moving or eating just to get intel on one civilian interment camp out of about 20.
But, the Spetnaz are the most brutal of the lot. These are the guys who have to swim through 100m of blood and barbed wire and go through almost fatal hand to hand training as part of their BASIC. Pretty brutal and badass methinks.

Okay, Im American, I respect the hell out of the Corps(they're arrogant as shit but they back it up most of the time) but thats just wrong for two reasons.enzilewulf said:
1. USMC is not a Special Operations unit, they are a military branch in nearly all but name.
2. If we meant man by man they would still get the crap kicked out of them by any Special Operations unit mentioned so far.
British SBS, they have SAS training and then go even further. So basically they're SAS combines with SEALS with a badass seal of approval.
See? I can say anything in this day and age and someone else will confirm it for me.ToTaL LoLiGe said:

The SAS have got to win this one considering that they trained Delta and the SEALS.
The reason is that they have arguably the most practical experience, as they predate all their equivelants, going back to world war II, and having taken part in multiple conflicts since, notably the iranian embasy in the 80's. It's just the lessons learned through experience that nobody else can compete with.

Hmm....
Gonna go with Israel's (what a shocker i know )" Sayeret matcal "
which in Hebrew means "the high command's rangers" or something like that.
Gonna be fair and choose a non local unit as well: SAS, just cuz their COD missions are a lot more fun

Mate, there has been special forces in this planet for at least 3k years, why do the SAS get gredit for their training regime and the SEALS don't?NinjaDeathSlap said:
Ill go with seals, they are at least in the ballpark of badassness of the SAS AND they do that having utter morons in the government, while the British government is only half moronic
Also, saw mention of the British SBS, but just for clarification, they've effectively merged with the SAS, so kind of one option there. And the only option. Ahem.
