The thing is, with very few exceptions, no one here would really even have a clue who was best or why. The SAS has been widely publicized by media over the last twenty-ish years as perhaps being the best, and they've been featured in much literary fiction of the genre, but are they actually the best? Maybe. I sure as hell wouldn't know. I've heard some say the US Navy SEALs were the best. The Israeli special forces are supposed to be right up there too. Hell, even the Canadian military special types have never exactly sucked.Hunter368 said:Give me your list and plz leave your national pride out of this list and just give the best as you see it and why. Thanks
Me either, but for obviously...different reasons.lesofprimus said:I never had to buy my own drinks in all the time I was in the British Isles....
Is he JTF, or something else? If so, what the hell is he doing talking to you about his training?Hunter368 said:On a side note my cousin trained with US Navy Seals on more than one occasion...He also served in UK for a time, not sure if he ever trained with the SAS...
Excellent operators, knew their weapons and tactics very well, liked drinking Uzo waaaaayyyy too much....les what did you think of the South African guys?

That is unless...you're some kinda Rambo type too.
He's a clearance diver by the sound of it. Their physical training is the toughest anywhere. I've been led to believe it's on par with that of special forces, including the US Navy SEALs (minus the hand-to-hand and small arms stuff of course), so it's probably no surprise then that he did some training with them. My wife's cousin is a bubble head too. Those guys can get a little nuts.Hunter368 said:He is or was (not sure right now) some kind of underwater (deepsea) rescue / underwater explosive specialist. He has told me about some of his operations (I don't think any of them are secrets but not sure), if he did anything that was hush hush he would not tell me, he is by the book guy from what I can tell, hardcore military guy. He has been in the military for about 18-19 years now, wow times flies.
