ASk anybody in the military ( Except the Army Rangers) and they will admit to you the SAS are the meanest sons of bitches out there.

Yeah, you'll hear that about pretty much all special forces from most 1st world countries, even some 2nd world countries are terrifyingly effective (*cough* China *cough*), simply because so much money which should be put into actually running the country is put into the military.BaronUberstein said:
OT: Personally, I'm kinda bummed that the Australian SAS doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Especially from what I've heard, since they are apparently sent about half of the new U.S Navy SEALs each year specifically to train them.
When your country is the country that trains some of the best military forces in the world, you know you might just have bragging rights.
True enough. But all the same. I'm not taking an internet poll too seriously, and they're special enough by my count haha.octafish said:
I wanna say Canadian JTF2 but we all knw it's a lie because their Canadian...probably bersaglieri from Italy or the Russian Spetsnaz.
Yeah but it doesn't usually end well for them.Th3Ch33s3Cak3 said:
I'm rather disappointed you didn't include the Australian SAS - they're fairly similar to their British colleagues.
It's generally accepted that plenty of countries have the US beat when it comes to special forces. It's just that way.
The general army is so powerful due to numbers and hardware. Not training/skill.
I'd put up either British or Aussie SAS.
I hear that the entirety of the Israeli military is super badass. I'm sure their special forces are top notch, but I've not heard anything about them (Perhaps that's a strength?)

It's basically a toss-up between the SEALs and the SAS. I don't know why you added the Royal Marines to the list though. Sure, they're a highly specialized branch of the navy, but the SAS is comprised of hand-picked and decorated servicemen who actually come from the Royal Marines, so there's no prizes for guessing who's the better of those two.
Spetsnaz definitely deserves a place on the list, since I'm willing to admit that their training is the most severe among special forces, but in terms of equipment the Russians just don't match up to their NATO counterparts.
