I agree but the British SAS are THE best and indeed train many other special forces around the world. Founded by a Scotsman. Legend has it that an SAS operative can come in to your house in the dead of night, knock up a kickass chicken stir fry and leave no trace of his presence whatsoever. The only sign he's been there at all is a box of Milk Tray left on the table.

Fuck that, Navy Seal Team 6 is the best in the world. They even have really cool stealth helicopters, and everything.
Actually, I think Delta force in the US is best in the world. They're so secretive, we don't even get to know they really exist.
Then there's JTF2 in Canada, and they're awesome too. I remember one time my dad said they did a "surprise" raid on his offshore platform while he was super intendant, and took it over. They were just training in case of an actual terrorist attack, and they needed to retake the platform. Scared the shit out of all the workers though, including my dad.
Then don't even get me started on Mssad....
There you go Commander. And The Delta Force is an unusual case because they are immune from prosecution while carrying out sanctioned ops.

Yeah, Delta force is totally off the grid. We know a little about them, but will never know much.
if they r so wonderful why did no one rescue the US embassy hostages kept captive for a year in Iran.....or knock out rocket man...all hype...no substance
Ummm, they did? It was called operation Argo. There's even a whole movie about it starring Ben Affleck.
Commander Dude.....you're playing fast and loose with the facts. For a start it wasn't Delta Force but a group pf Intelligence officers, diplomats and agricultural attache's. Secondly it was more of a cunning ruse than a Gung-Ho rescue. But still seriously cool and made that crazy Ayatollah bloke even crazier.
Then again, that sums up matt's whole persona.Originally Posted by arsenal

You have to go back to WW2 to get real western soldiers.
Ever since, competence and effectiveness has declined despite huge investment in gear and training.
One failure has followed another; The Bay of pigs,Vietnam,Iraq,Syria,North Africa.
It's true that ISIS is being defeated but the involvement of Russia and Kurdistan has played a big part.
I think the west has never had such a collection of weak leaders at one time; Angela, Mrs May, the feminist Canadian PM with the flowery socks, the narcissistic Mr Trump, the French guy who looks a bit like the Canadian guy...
With Putin waiting in the wings to move on Latvia and Estonia a new war in Korea will be up his alley.
There's not a good atmosphere at the moment.
Hey! No dissing Trudueau, the Canadian PM. He does excellent yoga poses, and cuddles with panda cubs like none other!
