SAS all day.

I've seen them up close and they really are badassness personified.

Mexan combat unit is best!!

It is a hard call to make.

The SAS have been active in training and advising other Special Forces units from their inception, notably US Army Delta.

It's obviously the 3rd Filthmuck Fusiliers.

Has to SAS now am sure any Britton can say this without being bias.
Don't the USA even use then from High profile BodyGuard missions etc
They are advisors to a lot of countries even the US on how to train and prepare their speical forces
but they keep a lot of things back.
Also they been active and successful since WorldWar 2

Most probably the SAS.

your all fail so far ....

Its the A team obviously

antijoke · 27 Jul 2009 at 08:53

I'd go with the SAS, followed clsoely by Navy Seals.

TBH I don't really have a clue. The patriot in me wants to suggest the SAS or SBS. The realist in me just hopes I don't **** anyone off enough that I am forced to find out.

The peoples front of Judea

The Taliban special unit have got to be in with a shout tho, with their moto of 'who dares, wins a goat'

The A Team, since nobody here will ever know which real world combat unit is the "best".

Yes but the A-team would fail at airdrops....

I know the US has probably the best funded and equipped. But who's got the best in terms of tactics, training, grit, and all round bad assery?

Royal Marine Commando's
SAS
SBS
Navy Seals
Foreign Legion

Anyone else?

Fwiw, I don't serve. But this has always been something I've wondered about.

A hard question to answer. How are you going to judge it? By what criteria?

Commandos, They started it all in WWII
