What happens here in Brazil is the following: They warn everyone that they will get into the favelas and clean it up 1+ weeks beforehand The important people (traffic bosses and stuff) go away to hide somewhere else, leaving only the regular citizens and drug users there. They go up the hill with the support of the Army and Navy and a bunch of tanks against no resistance at all, collecting w/e they find. Basically, it's the government advertising and trying to buy more votes, while keeping Brazil's good image out there. There is absolutely NO RISK for the people involved in those operations. BOPE is just a regular special force like any other with a cool movie to back its name, just like SWAT. That only happened in the major occupations when they drove the drug dealers out of the favelas. Usually BOPE just does smash and grab operations, or hostage rescues, or drug aprehensions, but the favelas were left alone and new drug dealers appeared, in these opperations bigtime bosses were executed, and the politicians didnt like it at all because they are all on the payroll So now whenver theres an operation they announce it before hand so the bandits can run | ||

On the other hand, I have seen footage of how the Spetsnaz train and it is insane. I also like how they handle their business(see Moscow theater hostage crisis). You mean the crisis where they managed to kill 120 out of the 800 hostages themselves? Anyway, people are way to biased here. This thread is summed up by hearsay and propaganda. | ||

This thread is summed up by hearsay and propaganda. There's actually a lot of solid info in this thread that people can use as a jumping point for finding out more about certain groups. That's kinda why I made it - it says in the OP that it's going to be mostly about opinion; unless of course a SpecOps member has anything concrete to offer after finding this thread between cracking out on SC2 and TL | ||

On the numbers issue - I already listed four examples where, although the German army may have been outnumbered in absolute terms, they managed to achieve localized operational superiority in numbers. In the first two cases (France 1940 and Russia 1941), that superiority proved decisive; in the second two cases (Kursk 1943 and Ardennes 1944), despite achieving initial localized superiority, the Germans were unable to prevail. Just comparing total numbers of soldiers doesn't really tell you anything; you have to look more closely at how they were actually employed. As for expert opinion, point me to them. You can't justify an argument by appealing to "experts" and then not naming any. kind of off topic but i think you underestimate the fact that being in active war against almost the whole world is kind of suicide. when the us actually engaded in fighting with the german army, most of its best soldiers already died on the east front vs the ussr ( they won the war vs nazi germany much more then the us did, and paid with over 20million casulties show them some more respect ), and the massive bombing of german cities and production left the army in shambles. the few and bad supplied tropps the us army fought indeed were no match for them. here is a little link just to show you how ridicilous outnumberd the germans where: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_War_II_flying_aces edit: it is a list for all nations, just scroll down a lot ( the first us pilot will pop up at 40 victorys ). | ||

For example selection involves 7 days in bush performing maneuvers and drills no eating, no sleeping, no water, officers using live ammo, live mines ect. And still have wild animals, eg lions an cheatas ect to worry about. Once they pass this there's still training ect. Operations are just as bad, my uncle lived about 15m outside an enemy base for 3months enemy never knew he was there. Because South Africa does not technology as advanced as rest of the world everything is up to the soldiers, the often just have to run, the get dropped at the boarder and for days they just run day after day to get to their destinations. And then have no support from the rest of the army until they out again. They also have a little competition, every person they kill they cut a ear off and they make necklaces with these ears. Heavy stuff, they called the Recce's If the cutting of an ear part is true, this is mos def the most bad ass squad in the world! | ||

Not really badass, more like sick in the head, isn't collecting 'trophies' from your enemy in battle a war crime? I was just reading about Tiger Force, a US task force that fought in Vietnam. They cut off their enemies ears and scalps during the war as well as a lot of other fucked up shit, wouldn't call it badass. Also I'm pretty sure cnorris is exaggerating a bit.. esspecially if his uncle was in the SA special forces. 7 days of no eating, no sleeping and no water? I'm pretty sure you'd die and if not your body would be way too weak to do any kind of training. | ||

I've met someone from Blackwater... scary sob, but I don't think they're the most elite, but definitely the highest trained assassins. | ||
