My Dad was in the SAS he never ever told me and I didn’t find out until after he died and ex squadron people turned up to his funeral. He was in Malaya. In the garage in a box he had all of his stuff. Sand coloured beret and photographs of people he served with. There was a note for me. It said… Dear son guess you have found out there is a little bit more about me. But that’s ok. You are my hero and I saw how much you struggled for the first 18 months as a baby. I decided to focus everything on you.
That's amazing! Sorry for your loss, but what a thing to uncover, you must be so proud
I'm sorry for your loss. And that is an incredibly heartwarming story.
Reminds me of my dad. My dad was a navy seal. Tough guy nonetheless
What a true impact felt story for someone who has no idea who or what kind of a person you are.Just from hearing this gives me a clear picture of character your father and you both are.
Mad Respect to You and Your Pops, Bro...❤
Theres a story from the Afghanistan war where there was a bunch of navy seals stationed alongside the SAS. There was a plaque above the seals sleeping quaters saying "Second to none".
One SAS guy noticed this and stuck the word "None" above the SAS sleeping quarters 😂😂
🇺🇸🇬🇧
They also came through the mess hall one day with American flag patches on , when the Americans said ' what's this ' they replied ' someones gotta get the blame ' .
Having a laugh obviously
Its probably true. But no other country do as much shady shit as the uk ~maybe usa. So they get enough practice and missions to get good. Other special forces just dont get to do as much
@@rage8kage or don't spruik about it maybe ???
@@brodiegriffin_is_Ozzy fraid not. Uk +USA has been in constant conflict or proxy war ever since ww2. I think the whole of Europe together didn't do as many missions as uk alone in a ten yr period. The only other comparable force is probably isreals unit13
A lot of the really good special forces don't talk about it.
The fact our Delta Force was based off them, just tells you how badass they are.
There is hope for America! Well done sir! It's not always about being the best! But it's always good to admit when someone is better than you.
That is a true sign of strength, also Deltas ? Those guys are brilliant. Truth is your forces are superior to our forces!
You guys are badass too pretty sure you saved our arses just as many times as we’ve saved yours 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Who do you think learned Delta Force?
They where the first so really all the tier one units are based of them.
@@B33FY97 much respect to the sas and Great Britain 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Idk how anybody could doubt it. It isn't that SEALs are bad, that Delta, GSG9, are bad... The SAS were the prototype. They created most of the tactics used by units considered to be the best in the world today.
If you told me the SAS was coming to save my life in a hostage situation, I would think "well this is my best chance to leave here alive".
-From an American brother across the way.
They are all "Tier1" for a reason, the fact is Delta or anyone from JSOC will have just as good a chance. When you hear about failures by all the best teams. SAS SEALs Delta usually extremely fluky bad luck is involved. SAS failed in their skud missile finding back in the gulf war they wre all captured or killed, just badluck a suicide mission. SEALs failed a mission for hostage rescue near Somalia because a dog barked and gave them away. Delta failed trying to rescue the hostages from Iran, their plane malfunctioned and literally blew up on them in the desert. If extremely bad luck is not involved their success rate is like 99%
@@chrisbreezy-ryanbarbosa4320 you're not wrong but for America "Tier 1" is very specific. Far as I can recall that's Delta, SEAL team six, and the 24th STS from the Air Force. I'm just saying that the SAS really started the brand of what we call special operations today. At least the highest versions of it.
It's a false equivalency. Following your logic the first caveman to pick up a stick/rock and hit somebody with it is the greatest warrior on the face of the planet...
Tiers mean nothing more than money allocated per individual in the US. It's not a measure of "badassery" as many falsely believe.
The UK SAS also didn't invent "all the tactics we use", not by a long shot. Current (and formerly-used) tactics are developed all across the globe by a multitude of nations. Whatever works works, it doesn't matter whether you've a Union Jack or an ISIS flag on your seen arm. The irony is that the US has probably developed and filtered more TTPs throughout the international SOF community than any other country. Why? Because US forces are in conflicts around the World 24/7, have a huge military budget, invest heavily in the longevity and training of their SOF troops and train with more other nations than any other single country.
"Billy" can say what he said, anybody can, because no true test will ever occur. UK SAS are never going to be involved in a conflict on the opposite side of the US. Talk is talk and most guys know better, apparently Billy in his retirement forgot that
Respect...
Everything depends upon teamwork and failure management... practice and fatigued training.. seriously.. I'd give up praise to any man who doesn't quit..
..Robin Sage adds an element I totally respect, but then ya kinda gotta be there..
Glad we're all friends, here.
Cheers to our brothers across the pond..

I’m a 45 year old proud American but I’ve always viewed the SAS as the pinnacle and it’s probably because we learned and built our SF from them
Respect my American bro!
I have to agree, I'm American and as stated we modeled from SAS, as well we continue to train together. I don't remember where I saw it but I did actually see a study done comparing several countries SF.. and if I recall SAS was the top.

reddit:
@clous. And of course you would know. Because you're delta yourself? keep quiet dude. I doubt you've even had a sniff of the military.
75% of the commentors are full of shit. Do you see how many ex"sf" operators are commenting? First if u ask a navy seal whos the best. They will say they are. If u ask delta. They will say delta is. If u ask sas they will say sas. These are all alpha males. The entire lot of the people making comments are armchair video game players. Not 1 person has made a logical argument. Plenty of bullshit. Example sas trained American speical forces into what they are now. False.
I thought the same
Yes, a very welcome change normal.
I’m American and veteran, I agree. SAS is a special breed. Longevity , variable capabilities, good humans, and a literal do or die mentality. I’m not saying they are leagues above us but they are definitely the top. Cheers to my brothers in arms.
I reckon my Friday night Fortnite regiment would give em a run for their money
Cool statement Rusty
You fought a phoney war mate
Not hard for anyone to be above American level, standards very low there
They are leagues ahead of you because they think differently to USA troops you rely more on tech and machinery for your success
I've seen podcasts where Delta and Seal team 6 guys give SAS guys big props....... must be true
As an American ill say this.
The SAS has the skills and the US has the money.
100% agree
The usa has some serious hitters. So i dunno. Red cell was scary. Imagine having the skill and money? Marcinko changed the game with red cell and covert ops
And then there’s Delta Force teams. Best of luck to anybody when these boys come to play.

@@chucknutly3290 Facts ✔️
that's the major difference between SAS and Delta force,.. you get so much stronger and way more organized when you train in worst harsh weather's all the time
Yep. SAS best of the best. Britain, Australian and New Zealand SAS force.
I genuinely don’t think I have ever seen a comment section, on any platform, where people are in 100% agreement. That really gives his words weight.
I dont agree. Most people here are liars. Notice how many "ex sf" people are here.... i dont care if your thai SF Canadian americam etc. They will all claim to be the best. Why? Because they are alpha males. 2nd. No one has made a logical argument. I personally wouldn't rank sas as #1. Just because they were the first "commando" unit in ww2, doesnt make them the absolute best today. Another point, sas/delta/ Sayeret Matkal/ seals/ green berets/etc all have different roles. When it comes to killing my vote is with seals/Sayeret Matkal. Training local units. Sas/green berets. Keel in mind sas has to rely heavily on american electronic warfare, as well as aircraft. The budget for american spec ops is by far larger than all other SF in the world combined. I mean u and I cant imagine what they have now. Back during operation enduring freedom footage was captured of invisible camo. When osama bin laden was killed, we learned about fully stealth helicopters. Turns out the stealth helos has been operational since mid 90s. Oh and when it comes to assinations and killing on other countries territory thats hands down the Israelis and their mossad/Sayeret Matkal.
I've seen enough vetted and legit US Tier 1 guys say in video interviews the SAS are the best.
As an American, I'm just happy those guys are on our side regardless of who thinks who are better.
The other important thing here is those lads are happy to fight alongside our lads and they all have mutual respect for each other when the shit goes down regardless of the chirping between teams.
@@FerretsnatcherSAS is only bested by the SBS. The naval version. 😂. But yes the SBS is seen around the world as the best… why? Cause they are everywhere. Literally. They serve in all conflicts and carry out missions their training drops human rights. Most of their missions are quite large scale and publicised. And listen to most special forces officers notice about how they love the SAS and the SBS and how great they are .
@@11Titsthe Increment or just the unit still call both outdo both as best from both go on to join. Period.
That was E squadron yet they say it's no longer a thing because it is so secretive more than both it's never ended like people believe.
One of my best friends (retired from The Corps as a Full Bird) was in Force RECON. Over the years he was involved in mutual combat exercises with a decent variety of Special Teams from other Countries. He stated emphatically that there were no better bad asses than the SAS. Pretty strong endorsement, especially from a U.S. Marine Corps officer!
Thanks for your honesty mate.All the best to you👍👍👍
Yes the SAS are the best or why does every other special forces model themselves on the SAS 🤔
If an American Seal (Salute) can say you don’t fuck with The British SAS, you know he’s speaks the truth. They are the best in the world bar none.
(Salute) *cringe*
@russellcoight9376 I reckon mate. He has to be an American right.
Um look, Seals say they are more professional but that’s about it. Also the SAS is better than Seals but not a Devgru team (ie. Seal team 6), also you don’t realize we also have Delta and
SAD/SOG, the United States has several teams separate teams. Each specializing in specific operations. And if you haven’t realized yet the United States make an insane effort to be the best in every category when it comes to military. Planes (f22) tanks, weapons, tech, intelligence, ect. The United States also has a more broad landscape and more diverse terrain to train on. So I think the US being that the budget for their teams is probably higher and the intelligence they get is better. It’s hard to believe that the SAS is better than all of our teir 1 units for that reason
@reeselindsey5911 hahaha, you can always count on an American to have a knee-jerk reaction and embarrass themselves. Onya Sonya !

I worked with a retired SAS member for 3 months on a really quite complicated and dangerous job. He was a delight to work with, an absolute team player! Ive never met someone with such situational awareness and clear communications under pressure. I can only describe him as egoless. No bragging, no showing off and no war stories and incredibly competent. We only found out when he was even in the SAS when he suggested to one of the younger lads that he had the right temperament for the SAS.
I can imagine that a group of lads all like him would be like a well oiled machine! A harmonious hyper competent killing machine.
Yeah my family has a large military background including WW2 SAS, few that I’ve spoken to are essentially picked because they will never share a story even if you get them absolutely plastered with alcohol.
My own great grandads family thought he was a paratrooper until about 3 years after he died when they finally received his medals, which was well after the war ended. Reason they though paratrooper was because he was captured way behind enemy lines and was sent to a POW camp where he got an ear infection and had an improvised surgery to save his life, but meant he was deaf in one ear.
He died of cancer, years after the war, and never once did his family get even an inkling he was SAS. Which is some A tier secret keeping.
Yes, as an American I do agree. Why?? 1 simple but huge difference... The SAS & SBS guys I've had a privilege to meet had ZERO, NO ego! They know they're excellent; and don't need to tell you.
There's plenty of them out there boosting about the SAS. Plenty of books too. There all good
That literally doesn’t mean anything. If you’re the best whether you say it or not just has to do with character. If the braggers are the best they’re still the best even if they brag. I’m Canadian and I think the seals are the best
You just watched a former sas say without a shadow of a doubt they’re the best. That’s not egoistic?
Guess we didn't watch the same video just now
@@everythingplayfull seals aren’t even our top brass. That would be delta force. I’d go watch their training videos they’re the real deal call of duty soldiers you see in video games.

They would return ,no hollering, high fives bullshit and we would ask our guys about the night previous, what and where these SAS guys like. Answer, totally fucking fearless, all 100% confidence in each other, backed themselves to get out of any shitstorm, completely unorthodox and I love our guys, but they said there is nothing like these SAS, my buddy is a SEAL.said he would prefer 2 SAS to help him than 6 of any other SF. We need to learn more, be clandestine, stop.dropping from airplanes ✈️ at ball games, SAS would never do that, I dont blame our guys, it us those in power who dramatize our SF, to recruit, but if you wish to join SF bad enough, you will, as it is a state of mind, but it is extremely rare. UK/USA as one we are brothers.
The US has always been about show over substance. Talks about freedom when invading people when it's always been about geopolitics and resources. Talks about rule of law while at the same time whitewashing the deaths of over a million dead civilians in Iraq alone.

@@Rance-lb1inNo they are not.
I’m 43 and I served for 16 years. I had the privilege of working with the British soldiers and I can testify that soldier for soldier, they’re better than we are. In reality, our military size and our military budget are what make us the most powerful.
FACTS.. The thing about "micro armies" is it naturally becomes quality over quantity. Australia has a population of 26million, so we'll never be a massive Army.
So the focus is always quality.
British regular army are most definitely not better than the U.S. We got stuck with a couple British units, and I would argue that at least 30% had zero military bearing, and all you heard was bitching. Sorry if your unit was ate up, but the regular brit army is not all that. Never interacted with SAS, but no one is arguing that they are top tier.
This is true, but what also makes us even deadlier is the fact we are STRONG allies with UK. Together we make up one hell of a military force.
So whilst true, there's a long long history in sone of these smaller armies and I believe there is a different sort of creativity with the British. They seem to get more latitude to do what they need to know.
I could be talking BOLLOCKS
@@sealife12 that’s very true, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We’ve stood shoulder to shoulder and fought together bled and died together for better or worse for over 100 years since April 6th 1917 when the USA entered WW1 with the allies to defeated Germany for the first time and then again 7th of December 1941 when the allies regrouped and again defeated Germany once and for all and now we fight together all the allies new and old except Russia in NATO and we’ve fought together ever since. The Brits were the first to answer the call after 9/11, we got pissed off at what they did to our American cousins in New York there was 67 Brits killed in 9/11 as well. It’s was surreal and I watched the second plane hit live in the news and watched them collapse live, it was hard to watch. I felt angry and I’m not even American.
The SAS set the standard. They are excellent at what they do.
Um....that is only your opinion. They are in fact good at what they do, but so are the SEALS, the Green Berets, DELTA force, Israeli Mossad, and even the Korean Reconnaissance Unit. I would pit the Israeli Mossad and American DELTA against SAS. The issue is each of these organizations conduct vastly different missions, so there is no apples and oranges way to compare them, other than in combat. The issue is, outside of the US and Britain, most countries' special forces teams only operate within their own sphere of influence, or even within their own borders.

@@szziywhile technically Mossad is not a military organization, their training was actually initialy developed and implemented by the US Special Forces in the early 1960s, which is what helped them win both the Six-Day war in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973. And while they don't train for jungle warfare, the vast majority of wars don't take place in jungles. My uncle was actually an "advisor" in the 60s to the Mossad before being killed in Vietnam. And to be truthful, when you talk about Special Forces from tropical countries, the vast majority of them can be overcome by any standard army...the few exceptions being the Thai Special Forces and the Indian Grand Commandos. So while you may think it is my opinion, it is based on fact both having interacted personally with them and also reviewing records.
@@szziythe mossad is surrounded by enemies on all sides who want to wipe Israel from map, yet mossad not only survives but defeats them being brutally outnumbered and dosen't let anyone attack isreal

I had a very uncommonly eventful 10 year career where I worked with seals, Breen berets, rangers, forward observers, combat controllers, pararescue, CIA, NSA, KSK, LITHSOF, Tokushu-sakusengun, ROKA SWC, Bordo Berelilers and SAS.
By far the SAS was the most versatile, efficient and effective in mission success and completion. Right after the SAS I would
have to say that the USAF combat controllers were the next most effective and efficient war fighters.

Please don't start a war with Britain. I don't want to have to drink my tea from the harbor again and to be honest we didn't exactly win the last one; at best we got lucky (1812). 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
@@Donny_MiseIt became too expensive and time consuming getting their military over here. Plus, they realized that too many of us at that time would never accept their authority over us especially after all the taxation and demands in which we received very little in return.
@@bentfissionit was a bit different from that in 1812. The US attacked first and the british never really wanted more land (probably because they didnt even have time to think about getting more). Both sides lost key battles so a peacr treaty was signed and a clear border determined. A war the british never wanted ended and if it werent for napolean the US probably would have lost pretty quick.
If the SAS existed then, well need I say anymore.
@@snugglecity3500dude you need to read on it again. The brits were taking u.s. sailors prisoner and they were attacking our merchant ships and the were trying to keep us from expanding into Indian territory.

The English need to get a grip, all that sacrifice to be in the state we are in due to fascists they keep voting for, that are "not that bad", but who said "let the bodies pile high" then made it happen in the thousands. Some of those pensioners were people my grandad fought to protect when they were kids, left to die by the English voters and their eton oiler masters...beggars belief, sickening
@@daftgowk1Well there have been numerous situations in all wars where human sacrifice appears to have been the order of the day when deemed necessary by the the upper class Donkeys whom led the working class Lions. The Somme, The Dardinelles, Dieppe, to name but a few. The 51st Highland Division, the real heroes of Dunkirk, who stayed fighting off the Germans to facilitate the evacuation of the whole British army, and a huge number of the French army, were denied campaign medals because they were POW'S, a national disgrace in my opinion. You have to ask yourself, what kind of blithering idiotic chinless wonder would make such a decision? A Donkey without doubt.
However, I wouldn't wish to detract from the recognition and praise being afforded to our outstanding SF regiments on this thread, as it is thoroughly deserved and should not be tarnished by the ineptitude of others.
I was referring to the SAS as a unit/institution and not the nationality of its members.
My pride and respect refers to the standard of training and development and the fact that the unit is the best in the world and the fact that they always have been.
Fact ! 😂😂😂 Sounds like Donald Trump, I’m more populair than Jezus! And that is a fact. ! Fuck the SAS! Another fact.😮
As an American who has served and fought i'm obviously a little biased 😉 what i will say is that they're definitely the most respected, even in the U.S. SF, the SAS has always been regarded as the gold standard. i tip my hat to those gentlemen!!!

@poor ned the us military in general takes WAY less casualties then literally any other military in the world, and that's doubly the case for SF, we VERY rarely ever lose a T1 operator. Again, think you should slow down on the crack it's clearly affecting even common sense.
@@Arrctv doubt he knows what's considered tier 1....
@poor ned - you send in mid tiers operators for mid tier operations, no point in sending in the A class guys if the aussies and canadians are there to clean up the mess. Mid tier ops are more numerable and less dangerous, your stats mean nothing.

Couldn’t disagree more when it comes to this tho both parties there very well trained and capable. But now the answer is in the pudding and comes back to who has the best and most advanced weaponry in the world would be the United States also the most funded too meaning they have endless amount of support whenever they need.

What I like about SAS is they’re generally dark, you don’t know so their business, they aren’t all over social media anywhere near like some American SF, particularly seals. The best SF are the ones you’ve never heard of or seen.
Tbf that same logic would apply to Delta Force, Marsoc, GIGN, KSK, SASR, etc
Most of them are lost boys, with intensity developed from dark upbringings. They bring this into their role in the sas, no ego no bravado just "do" and move on.
SBS as well don't forget them boys both elite and the best in the world.
The SAS was the first and the best in the world
No, SBS was the first. Look at the foundation dates. SBS 1940 and Stirlings mob mid 1941.
There are some badass Special forces like delta force and navy seals team 6, Spetsnaz, Marcos, Para SF but hands down SAS are the most Elite force on this planet.
My friend’s dad is ex SEALS and absolutely attests to the SAS being the best. SEALS training is often based on SAS training and he believed SAS selection is harder. He also said the SAS were smaller and didn’t give a s*** about bravado. He said they were next level and toughness, never flinched at any crises, and often joked all the way through
SBS better than SAS

The stuff you dont know about the SAS is even scarier than the stuff you do know. Humble and lethal in equal measure. Their unpredictability and dedication is unmatched.
Absolutely true. I trained with SAS in Canadian SF group.
Deep down they have taught all SF how to be the best.

There's a reason the Germans named Scots and Canadians Devils in skirts and if you were ever in the army you'd never ever call it a skirt to anyone wearing one being serious, they would have your tongue as a necktie after a Glasgow kiss.

SAS are the OG’s of Special Forces.. there’s a reason that they train and people use their training techniques around the world. 🇬🇧
How would you measure the best, successful missions? Most dangerois missions?
Marine vet, there really isn't a "better" special forces. My personal opinion is that they all excel.. they all excel in specific fields and tactics but you can't really pin them in a category because they are all above and beyond. If you've ever worked or trained with these guys you'll see it in the way they work. The SAS are OGs and have set the standard since the beginning and Seals, GB, USF, DTA, COS, CSOR, KSK, FSK have all been learning from eachother and improving their own skills so it's a growing field with a plethora of skill sets. They all have my respect
I completely agree with you
Nailed it
Dead on. Hrs biased. And I understand. Are they in the conversation? For sure. But there's so many elite units. The British military is a fraction of the size of a lot of militaries. The US alone has multiple SF that are in that convo. Polish. South Korea. France. Germany. Norway. Sweden. Finland. Russia. Ukraine now. Which were trained by US and British Special Forces. And other western SOF units.
Whatever jarhead.
SAS are not the OGs of Special forces. It was the Devils Brigagd with US and Canadian soilders back in WW2. SAS just followed suit. I'll give it to SAS, I have seen them in action and they are Badass. Our Delta and Seals are the cream of the crop
I've met some ex SAS. Very intelligent, assertive and carry themselves very well.
The SBS and SAS are the best in the world and we should be proud that our country produces such soldiers.
It's refreshing to hear in the comments from people who have worked alongside/trained with our S.A.S. and without ego can agree.
My dad was a soldier for 23 years and special forces for most of that and he always said there was no one in the world better than the SAS

US Marine vet here too.....Nah!
Meh, unless you’ve served with your Raiders or other tier 1 outfits, you can’t really make that assessment. I always thought SEALs were bar none until I was invited to a Raider project TCCC/CQB veterans event. I’ve never in my life seen anything so fluid and smooth as watching a few of these boys conduct a building takedown.
I worked briefly alongside A and G squadron of 22 as ISAF in Helmand province and while they are indeed an overwhelmingly elite fighting force, the glaze of their donut isn’t quite as thick as some of the very men you call brother. Granted, this was 13 years ago, but I’ve never been able to size SAS up as the standard before or after.
@shawnm2113 🧐: Me: searching through my comment to see where I trash talked Marine Raiders or said they weren't as good as SAS 🤔 . "When I served, Raiders hadn't yet returned and it was MARSOC /Force Recon/Recon (also of which I didn't downplay nor say SAS was better/worse). "Situational awareness Devil." I got the opportunity to do some training w/ an SAS unit. So, yes..I can make my own personal assessment they are indeed a top notch unit. Which is NOT saying they are better than our Raiders. Semper Fi and good day
@@shawnm2113 raiders aren't tier 1
Many countries modeled their current special forces after the SAS since they were the first. If you’re in a special forces unit or former member of a special forces unit, then you have to believe your team is the best to be successful. The SAS are legendary and they can back their shit up. Members of Delta Force and the Seals say they’re the best too. Nothing wrong with pride in your country and it’s military. God Bless !🇺🇸🇬🇧
My father was an original member of the Australian SAS in 1957.

My dad would whoop ur dad he was a lollipop man in the uk
I think it’s the british ‘keep calm and carry on’ mentality that may give the british special forces the edge… I am British though so I’m biased.
The best there is. Makes you proud to be British 🇬🇧
About all its good for... sas have very little gross impact because theyre tiny... 75th ranger regiment is more valuable as a force than sas... 3 full dicked up battalions of purpose built warfighters with their own recon battalion of veteran rangers to support... probably have an order of magnitude more funding too...
Yes it does...in a time where the list of things to be proud to be 🇬🇧 seems to be shrinking slightly 😕
Things to be proud of being British are thin on the ground these days
Nah they aren't lol they stopped being so like 20 years ago. They aren't the best within uksf neither

You all play a part no matter which special forces you are. The main fact is you keep us safe so Thankyou for your service boys. And yes. The sas are the number one elite.
100% when you want the best you call the sas when you dont you call the rest
Rubbed shoulders with a few SBS lads in Afghan as a bootneck supporting some of their operations.. they treated us with as much respect and banter as they did themselves.. if you didn’t no what they’ve been through you wouldn’t have guessed….. until you saw them click into gear….. then you realised that they are simply in another league!
Couldn’t of said it better myself they switch into controlled demons of high skill it’s actually kinda scary
As an American who served the SAS hands down legit hands down are unmatched
Bullshit no true American soldier would say that
I’m from the US and that’s 100% true they are what we made ourselves. It was with help the SAS schooled us when making delta
ive listen to quite a few tier one operators from both delta force and devgru seal team six who have acknowledged the superiority and the respect they have for SAS operators, so i believe Billy tbh
Yes. 100% agreed. From America
Some years ago now I was talking to an SAS guy and asked him about this topic. Why should SAS be the best since America has such a large military to draw from and endless resources. He had spent at lot of time with American units in Afghan and he said the Americans just seemed to be unlucky at times and maybe relied or were forced to rely on too much on technology. Every SAS guy I have met in civilian life seems to be able to turn his hand immediately to any building trade - plumbing, electrician, bricklaying, metalworking etc. Ask him to dig the garden for you for a few quid and he does not stop - as long as the tea keeps coming. I have yet to see a big or muscled one. they just look fit and relaxed. I suppose that's what happens if you live on tea and no food lol

Im british id like to think that the original special force has managed to stay ahead of the curve, didnt work that way with football for us though did it lol
Truth is, i dont know what any spec op unit is upto and neither do any of you, so who knows
From Norway here, and i'm no expert so i don't wanna be too loud, but from what i've heard from friends in the millitary, the SAS/SBS are without a doubt the best in the world
In afghanistan, there was one unit that never got dehydrated. They were from Norway (marinejegere). From the stories I have heard, they are extremely tough ones. The SAS are the oldest ones in the world...but the best at what? Green berets are specialized to gather inteligence behind enemy lines. Navy seals have 3 specialized operative fields. There is so many different types of special forces out there. They are all pretty good, but none are the best.
@@mortenhallangen1933sas are everything you’ve just said 😂😂basically real life James Bond there a reason there a 90% fail rate to join the squad and there a reason the most deaths in special force training is in the sas as it’s that tough also longest training out of all special forces in the world there been many many stories sas been out numbered and outgunned still find a way to win the battle also a reason American special forces have doctrine after the British they are the best and most professional in the world
