Can't recall it but he detailed the training involved (He was Delta). It's not the book by Beckwith. fuark

It almost always does.

Having the best equipment and the most equipment means you are going to win the war. Spec OPs aren't who wins wars. It's the big guns.

Spec ops are there to start an insurgency or counter insurgency. They don't really have a mission in a full scale engagement. Light infantry no matter how highly trained just aren't a good counter to a maneuver unit.

They don't exist anymore, but you wouldn't want to cross paths with the Selous Scouts if you were a Pan-African marxist (or or one of their Cuban/Russian "advisors") in southern Africa in the 70's.

40 years later, western leftists are still rustled just hearing their name.

They only have one operational carrier, and that's an ex-Soviet carrier. They are trying to build their own, but are a year or two away from completion (maybe more).

Well in the case of air craft carriers we do literally have the best, and a lot of them. So there's that.

They're not just big, but for something that big (105,000 tons), they flat out haul ass on the water too!

That's a ship almost 1100 feet long, 250 feet wide, doing 'S' turns at a speed greater than 30 knots (35mph).

lol. No they aren't. All they're doing is surviving and then having a periodic episode where they inflict some casualties. In order for them to "win", they just have to not ALL die.

But the number of Al Qaeda and Taliban deaths in Afghanistan compared to the US coalition, is like 18-1. It would be dramatically more if there weren't rules of engagement that only 1 side had to follow as well.

Just look at that video of the MOH winner someone posted earlier. 1 US guy pretty much by himself fought over a dozen or more of those goat herders who had him far outnumbered, out gunned, had the home court advantage, and were already bunkered in place.
Everything depends upon execution; having just a vision is no solution.

Performance and performance alone dictates the predator in any food chain.

I have no doubt the SAS are highly trained and qualified. But that silly little music video was supposed to be some kind of proof? lol

In any event, it hardly matters since special forces don't typically fight each other.

And they typically don't make videos showing their techniques and expertise. That would be counterproductive to what their job really is.

But how do you know they're not releasing misinformation? See, right now the evil doers are thinking when SAS clear a room the first guy goes right while the second guy goes left. But in reality, it's the opposite. Not to mention the bad guys will expect to hear some music video playing and think that will give them plenty of warning.

Saw this back when it first came out.

Absolutely insane.

Could you imagine the **** going through that guys head? Just insane. Thinks he is stuck up there, but still calling in ****ing air strikes, nobody getting back to him, nothing happening but hes like **** it. Dude gets knocked out wakes back up hours later (shot) and is like welp time to **** some **** up again. See's his bros coming in to rescue him, knows they are getting shot at so hes like nah I'm going to take the fight to the enemy and leaves the ****ing bunker? Couldn't imagine.

Who cares, bragging about your special forces team is as cringy as the sports fanatics who say "we" when referring to the team they like.
