just wondering. I heard somewhere, that when Richard Marcinko set up seal team 6 there were only teams 1 and 2. he called the new one 6 so the KGB would drive itself nuts trying to find teams 3,4 and 5. anybody know if thats true.
when in doubt empty your weapon in the direction of your doubt's -

And how exactly did you come to that conclusion? I've never laughed so much in my life!!! The SEALS training is hard.i'll give them that, but not as hard as SAS training.no way in hell!

To correct you STMOK the real reason for the Blackhawk Disaster was Pilot Error. An SASR bloke I knew told me the pilot who died in the crash was a bit of an agressive flier. Did not speak highly of him at all.
The Supersonic flyby was copied from a counter-terrorism mission that occured in the Netherlands on June 11 1977: A pair of Royal Netherlands Air Force F-104 Fighter-Interceptors did a Mach 1 flyby over a train which held the hostages and terrorists just prior to the Dutch Marines BBE commando assault, which was successful. -

SAS are world renowned. without a doubt the most elite fighting force, ive also heard that the SAS help trian delta but notto sure on how true that is. but yeh SAS definatly number 1. lets take for example the bravo two zero story, those SAS guys absolutely slaughtered a few hundred iraqis, notto mention the embassy job

SBS don't use tanks you plank Delta can't do crap, plus they're "supposedly" extraction and anti-terrorism specialists. They have a different role to the SBS who's main role is maritime recon and demolition. Delta have never (as far as I am aware) ever had a successful hostage rescue mission

LOL Ipmorisson claims to be an expert yet he doesn't even know that the SBS has been using tanks in Iraq. Ipmorisson, how do you feel about your sissified country laying down to muslim extremists who preach hate in the mosques? LOL, there's no england any more, chump. Furthermore, who are you in a position to say that one training is tougher than the other? You've not been through Delta or SAS selection. I would also certainly give Delta the edge because of technology and financial backing.
Just reference SAS and bravo two zero (poor mission planning) where they made a hash of things, and then the SBS retreating and leaving weapons into the hands of enemy insurgents. Of course Delta had to come in and fix the mistakes of limey brits.
