    So If there was a world cup of sorts of Special forces* with everyone who wanted to play could come and shoot the other who would win??

    US Delta
    Green Beret
    Oz SAS
    UK SAS & SBS
    ARW
    Speisnaz (sp?)
    Canadian Special Operations

    Here's the wiki link...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_special_forces_units

    Discuss... and take liberties!




    There may be differing versions of special forces here, dont get too worked up about it!

    Well, the Spetznatz would show up first, and throw their shovels at the Japanese special forces who would chop them in mid-air with their katanas. Whilst distracted doing this, Korean special forces would drop on them from thirty stories up, commencing a large hand-to-hand melee. American special forces, seeing the blood and gore, would slowly walk away, point a laser at the group, and call in an airstrike, killing the lot. As they reverse, they trip over a whiskey bottle left on the ground by the Irish special forces, and break their necks. Next to the bottles are the comatose bodies of the Irish, who had gotten hammered with the Scottish members of the SAS. The English SBS members in the meantime, seeing their chance to rid themselves of those bloody Scots SAS buggers, place all the drunkards in a boat, and tow it out to sea. They then get torpedoed by German special forces in a U-boat, but a small hole drilled in the U-boat by an Israeli Mossad agent results in the German death. The French place underwater demo charges on the Mossad agent's yacht as it's moored in New Zealand, and then they surrender to themselves.

    NTM

    Of that group the only one that wouldn't have a member called Murphy or O'Brien would be the the Spetsnaz.

    So we Irish win every time.

    Ya never know. I am betting there is at least one Irish (or Ex-Irish) fella in Spetsnaz. Or at least Related to Irish People.

    No GSG9 were not in it, it was mostly against cops in a comp for charity.

    Austrian armed cops came first , Italian cops second.....lets keep it real.

    It was a good achievement.

    Don't underestimate the smaller European countries like Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway etc when it comes to a few mean little fighting units.

    I for one wouldn't like to be facing Belgian ( even less the GVP lads ) paratroopers in a conflict..they might be looked upon as being a bit of a joke but when push comes to shove they're all lads with very decent training, good kit ( probably some of the best infantry weaponry is Belgium made ) and plenty of operational experience gained in ex-Yugoslavia, Somalia, Ruanda, Afghanistan, Libanon, Congo/Zaire etc.. .

    The best of the best in my opinion as a general special forces soldier has to be a French Legionaire-Parachutist.

    Of course when you start talking about more counter terrorism orientated and highly specialised stuff you quickly end up with the likes of the SAS, GSG9 ( which are actually a police unit and not strictly military ), French Gendarmerie special intervention units etc...
