But then, why wouldn't they be the ones to take out Osama bin Laden? Why would the US send their 2nd/3rd best team to go get the #1 wanted man in the world. Its worth noting though that the team six SEALs were aided by 'various CIA agents' according to sources. You might be able to say those various cia agents are your secret group and the seal team is just a 'brand name'. doubt it though That the team exists isn't a secret, but what they do, who they are, where they train etc is secret to various degrees. | ||

Scandinavians and russians special forces rock in artic warfare, ST6 trains with swedish SF to get the best artic training. Norways FSK trains with SAS and GIGN in counter terror scenarios and so on. But if I was forced to pick one dude to watch my side, I would go for this Gurkha. He fought off 30 talibans alone! He a one man F***ing army. Read more about my Gurkha hero here. Source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/mar/25/gurkha-honoured-taliban-insurgents Well, nobody probably know about norwegian spec ops, since they are pretty small and have no big hollywood movies :p But they are good at what they do, MJK has had success in afghanistan FSK/HJK has seen quite a lot of action, too. Norway's been involved in most major conflict since the 80's. But the commandoes during WW2 were pretty badass too, things like the NOR.I.C. 1 did lots of sabotage and shit, without any backup of any kind, and no radio contact. Only a few guys, primitive equipment and a mission. Balls of steel. | ||

Seal Team 6 might not even be an actual unit, but instead just be a cover for the various special forces units that the US commands. I feel like a crazy man. | ||

I don't know much about others but if I would have to say someone from a pure "bad-ass" point of view I would say the Israeli Defense Forces because they developed Krav Maga. Here's a video about it from human weapon episodes. What on earth are you on about? Doubt USA is significantly "ahead" in the technology department. If any country would have the better developed forces, Russia is pretty much the non-brainer, without even trying to involve myself in the discussion. Find it quite the pointless topic, since this can not be verified, like watching deadliest warrior, fucking pointless.(best program ever though) Russia has, what? 10 times the manpower than the USA and an army of like 20.000.000 soldiers including reserves. Pretty sure they would have the better developed forces, if any. Again, can be discussed, but no point offering anything else than an opinion since there is no way of putting it to the test. | ||

For me, it's not about the training the recieve. No amount of "training" is really going to tell you what specific thing to do when your life is on the line. It will help of course, but yeah... check out the Australian SAS. | ||

Um Russia has an 2,000,000 armed forces members including reserves. The US has about 3,000,000 including reserves. Also Defense Spending by Country in Billions ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/0b7ea9b398bc3d1defb7852c62eb50e3.png) The US spends almost as much as the rest of the world COMBINED Pretty clear that if any country has a technological at advantage it is going to be the US. Also the US has about twice the population of Russia. I hope you were joking, but somehow I think you were serious. | ||

It's not like army size matters for technology anyway, you can have a small and very advanced army. | ||

French special forces are these (french link, sorry) : http://le.cos.free.fr/fr.htm wikipedia link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commandement_des_Opérations_Spéciales As you can see they are quite unknowned, as their work. | ||

I'm not really sure how we're comparing though, as the SAS for instance is quite large. Are we comparing the top notch of each special forces, or some kind of average of the entire thing? | ||
