It is one thing to post your opinion but it is another to express your feelings too harshly that you may offend someone. You are better off in this forum to keep your deepest feelings, of dislike or hatred to yourself because others will not tolerate it. Just try and be a little more reserved, that's all. But I think you know that now. Peace.

Wise words there, I think maybe more people shoudl read and take heed of them.
Just to throw my pennies worth here. I think the SAS and SBS are the greatest but in part that is a bit of national pride kicking in here. I see much being said of about US special forces. I do not much about Delta Force apart from the movie with Chuck Norris. The movie rocked and I recommend you all go and see it. Ok seriously the US army had a real problem with Delta Force they knew they wanted special forces but were never quite sure exactly what they wanted them for. So the real problem Delta Force has is they had some highly trained well equiped soldiers but kept changing their mind over exactly what kind of missions they should be trianing for. This makes not quite as good as they could of been in my amatuer opinion. (that information is a few years out of date and this may have changed now) The Navy Seals are different, from expierence gained in World War II, Vietnam etc. the Navy had a very clear idea exactly what missions they need special forces for. The US Navy Seals are troops of the very highest caliber. Although never as good as the SAS but hell thats me talking here.

Can someone give me a rundown on SAS and/or SBS ops? The only one I know about is the one covered in "Patriot Games."

The most famopus one has to be the stroming of the Irian Embassey in 1982. It was live on TV and was pretty cool. The next most famous outing has to be the Gulf war, there was the Bravo Two Zero mission (now a film and several books) and also others. It was the usual mission types. Mainly recon and spotting. The SAS I believe were used to help in the targetting of Scuds. They were involved in Bosnia, Kosov and Falklands again recon missions mainly. In Falklands they also laurched several raids including the attack on the Radar staion at Pebble Island (Which was very dangerous thing). They are currently out in Afghanistan doing there usual routine of socuting adn shooting. The SAS ahve a rather long association with Northern Ireland. With numerous missions there. They have seen service in jsut about every one of the decolonisation wars, from Malaya to Kenya. They are rumours to have helped America down in Colombia although people are still tighted lipped about that one. this is pretty general, do you want me to be more specific?
Their WW2 exploits are pretty spectacular, but is it true what I hear that in Africa the Long Range Desert Group were the real toughies and the SAS pretty much just went along as bulk cargo?

About the SSG their task in wartime is to protect the goverment and to some extent the royal family. In peacetime well they work alot with the SAS so about the same as them...
I accually did see the SSG during my officer training well sort of a least, they used our training building.
And of course they looked ridiculus the windows of the cars they used had paper over them so noone could see into them and they had an armed guard outside the door to the training building remember that this was inside an regiment so no civilians...
Acctually they sent me the application papers for it to which they do to all officers.

in my not particularly humble opinion the SAS/SBS are the best at what they do,and better than most at everything else
'jacks of all trades,masters of many'

Since SF are closely related to intelligence agencies, the same rule of thumb ought to apply: the less you hear about them, the better they must be.
Whoa, then the SF of Leichtenstein must be amazing, because I've never heard of them at all!!!!
Of course, I'm aboslutely just teasing...have a wonderful Friday

Wrong. Almost everybody in France has heard about Malko Linge, aka SAS. (a pulp spy novel hero).
gotcha!
Actually, when it comes to arctic survival, Denmark might have some of the worlds best trained units for that purpose, as we have the Sirius patrol in north eastern Greenland. Year in and year out they patrol the northern coasts of this large island. In the summertime they do it by boat, but in the wintertime they travel almost 3000 km in small dogsleigh teams during 3-4 months in the complete darkness and cold of this uninhabited area. It's more a reconnaisance [sp?] unit than a spec ops unit - but still it's a military unit with military training and equipment, and I don't think many other military units on this planet could compete with them in arctic survival.

Does anybody know of a good website or two that deals with the history of the Spetznaz? I'm interested in learning more about them but can't really find anything. I would very much appreciate it!
Thanks all
Thanks all
I would say the airforce defeated the taliban, not the american special forces.

Well, why i'm not surprised you think that (apart from the fact that it might be truth)
But, without intention of hijacking this thread, could you please state one thing in which Britain isn't the best? Military related.
(please, Dark Knight, i'm not trolling. It's very serious question
naming one thing in which britain is not the best (militarily) is irrelevant and not on topic, if you want to start a thread on that go ahead. But this is very much trolling try adding something of relevance here.. and btw yes non europeans or americans do tend to lack any quality.

I agree with most of your points, but do you really need to question captain ansons credibility and courage to make them? instead of bringing forth your own sources?

your comments toward danilla are quite simply stupid, "if the navy seals are so stupid why dont you tell them to their face" ?? are you serious? for starters danilla is probably not in the military at all, so one could use the same argument for the eskimos military toward a young girl. she could comment that eskimos are a rubbish military would you use the same argument with her? I hope that makes my point.
I thought Cap Anson was a 19th century baseball player; why is he obsessed with British special forces?

Yes he does have a certain fodness for britain, I think there are others around here aswell though.
Most of you seems like experts, how many of you have been in the special forces or trained with them?
