I read that article too, they were implying that the SBS weren't up to the standards of other SF because they specialised in maritime operations and so lacked the ability to operate inland. Hmm actually that sounds familiar, oh right that's it.........

This is not a criticism of them it is just fact, it is not something that they emphasise in their training for whatever reason. Probably it is not their mission statement to go inland where they might have to tab

Funny how many newspapers at one time or another managed to accredit SBS ops to the SAS...does that make both equally incompetent? Or does it just mean that when the papers start talking about this sort of thing, most of it's speculation as the facts are kept secret?

This is in danger of turning into a pissing contest, so that'll do...seems to have wandered rather off-topic too.
