Best special forces.

[Mad Cyril]

As an occasional reader of Soldier of Fortune and having a Tony Soprano style penchant for military documentaries my question is which is your favourite special forces unit?

Please add any supporting evidence for your choice such as any embassies you have stormed or similar.

You've missed out SBS mate.

Not that I would of vote for them, the SAS are the elite.

I read an autobiography of one of the SAS guys who was in the team at the Iranian embassy siege.
There is a section in the book where the SAS go to the States and train with the Navy Seals . To cut a long story short the SAS guys absolute destroy them in every exercise. On the back of the exercise the US asked eh SAS to come back and train the Seals ! in the rest of the book he isn't big headed at all and so the reader has no reason to disbelieve his claims.

ps an example is an exercise involving fast roping of a helicopter and storming a building . The SAS throw the ropes from the helis and fast rope before the ropes hit sold earth , the seals wait for the ropes to hit the floor. They think the SAS are mad, the SAS reply , 'you have to trust your team mate, if the pilot says we are at the right height that's good enough for us'
