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.

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.

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.

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.

They were and still are one of the only elite units that are welcomed on foreign military bases and many times have been asked for advice on special operations and direct support for ongoing operations.

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

I’ve never been in the military let alone special forces but I’ve always admired these people I think, now this is just my random opinion but I think that part of what makes the special forces so good at what they do is a healthy understanding of their counterparts i would have to imagine that once you reach a certain level of professionalism which these guys have, it comes with a fair amount of respect for each other any special forces vets I’ve ever come across are some of the most humble men I’ve ever met And I think part of that is because to be on a special forces team you had to earn it it’s given to nobody and the fact of always knowing the guy next to you worked just as hard as you to get here demands a certain level of trust and respect I’ve always imagined what that might feel like. It must feel like nothing else in the world
