Subject: The SAS saving the British sailors?
Drazhar    3/30/2007 8:28:39 PM
It has occured to me, why haven't the SAS or SBS been able to free the prisoners? Surely, we could of easily fielded 20-30 SAS in order to save them?

Well getting them in would work, using discuise and stuff, they would probaly be able to get in and free the prisoners, but getting out would be  the real tuff/borderline impossible part.



I take it from your grammar that you are under 15 and probably have no idea what you are talking about. Disguises do not work for SO MANY REASONS.

I'm 17 now . I was referring to the Geneva convention, but I haven't BTDT, so I have no idea how things really work.
Glad your back Bob, the board died after you left (almost no traffic here).

Usually when you hear that on a forum, you don't take it seriously...but coming from former SAS, you begin to worry.

Now must of us atleast know that the prospect of the SAS saving the British sailors is an impossibility. (Especially now, since they have already been handed over a few weeks ago by the Iranians as you all know). However, if something were to happen like the seizure of the British Embassy in Tehran, would the SAS/SFSG request the use of the 160th SOAR, to avoid an Eagle Claw type disaster?

for humour's sake dirtykraut, here's how it would go down.
first we'd recieve a telegram requesting our exceptional skills (at tying our bootlaces)
then we'd head to the nearest aviation museum (or scrap yard) and pick up ten (or reassemble... it's easy, bit like lego) belvederes (nothing but the finest widow-making helicopters ofcourse). a tea break would be in order then we'd send messenger bill across the pond in a canoe to the states to collect the historic wright brothers plane (for aerial recon before action ofcourse), whilst bill is away more tea and crumpets would be in order.
upon bill's return we would go to the local toy shop and collect our spud guns and water ballons (for when things go noisey) the aircraft would fuel up and then we'd head for Riyadh (if we're still welcome)
ofcourse we'd forget the tea bags, milk and sugar at home and thus be all very grumpy.
once in riyadh we'd arrange an FOB, (likely somewhere sunny) on action day we'd fly into the desert dodging haboobs left right and centre (bit like dodging asteroids in space) once in tehran we'd be very sneaky and tiptoe to the embassy unoticed (although half the city would be awake after seven of the belvederes crash- never mind... it was only the green slime remfs and a squadron) sergeant sam would pull out his skeleton key to the city and open the embassy gates, where the twenty remaining troops would storm the main building spud pellets a flying. we would free the hostages after defeating the 70 or so terrorists with nun-chucks and throwing stars that corporal "ninja" ned had brought along (clever ned), and we'd fly home for tea and medals only to crash into the white cliffs of dover.
hurray for the SAS

This is all after ofcourse, the SAS invade hell, and defeat Lucifer and his minions right? Anyways, I didn't know the SAS hd their own air taxi service these days. So there is a permanent unit trained for this in the UK?
