Who has the best special forces?

Post by Shadden »

I remember reading on some website age ago about a documentary that showed a competition type thing between special forces from different countries. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If not, does anyone know of something similar to this? How can they be compared? Who has the best? etc.

Well each country would claim the title so who is going to judge just who is the best

Britain has the best army, the best navy, and the best special forces in the world.
FACT.
We've been doing all of these things longer that anyone else anyway.

What we have is very good, but poorly equipped and to few in numbers to make any great difference

People can only really have opinions on this, and there are very few people who actually know FACTS and have genuine knowledge (or seen them in actions/served with) special forces. But to not include the UK's SAS/SBS in your above post is daft.. Although maybe not the best equipped you have to agree that we have one of the best trained special forces in the world.. Just my opinion though :wink:

Although I am now an Aussie, having served in both the British Army and Australian Army, I still say British Special Forces, the SAS and Royal Marine Commandos are the best, best trained, bet led. I hope the Australian Govt don't deport me for saying that, I have been here since 1966. :wink:

As for cricket..the Aussies of course. :P

Hi, there - I wouldn't claim that the Norwegian Special Forces are the best in the world but I can tell you from personal experience that on a couple of occasions I have seen Norwegian Home Guard units that had to carry the packs for US Special Forces on exercises in Norway.
What does that tell us...?.... :o ... Hmm......maybe they just used the HG guys...?... :evil: ..... They didn't want to get sweaty..... :sleeping: .....
