Isn't JTF-2 strictly a CT unit?

How can you choose a top ten list of SF ? In any case what about non western SF? recently read one on Indian SOF-"Beyond the Bayonet:Indian SOF in the 21st Century" by Brig Deepak Sinha . Those units have performed extremely well right through and can favourably compare with any of the others around- ask US and Russian SOF who have trained with them

This is retarded. If your British, you're going to say SAS, American you're going to say Green Berets. Pointless dribble. And beside the fact, none of you have any credible military experience. There are like a bajillion SAS fanboys out there and it is starting to get gay, especially when you have Americans trash talking their own Spec Op units.

1) The Fedaykeen Death Commandos of Paul Maud'ib, they beat the Imperial Sarduakar, so they must be tough; or
2) The Secret, Super Storm Trooper Reconnaissance Force, an organization soooooooo selective that 85% of the applicants DIE in the selection course and the remaining 15% are not accepted.  In short, they are SO selective that, so far, NO ONE has ever been "tabbed" as one....now THAT"S a Kick-@rse Special Operations Unit, wouldn't you say?
 
3) There's also "Biggles" and "Mr Neutron" but though lethal, they are only single men, and so not really "units" and really eligible for this board.

Taleban, Hizbolla, FARC, SAS(es), SEALS, Spetnez...
 
the first three have a proven and current track record against a number of the SPECOPs teams mentioned...

These bloody top ten lists of SF and such are absolute e. They only serve to prove several things: People who crap on how good such and such is have very limited or no knowledge of the field, thus any such list comes down to nationalisitc chest beating.

Also, as gf said, REAL SF don't give a roo's rectum about such rankings, cause they know that any such ranking is totally inaccurate. They don't care, all they want is to do thier job, and do it well. It would be safe to say that each SF is thier own worst critic..... they're always trying to better themselves. I don't care who's 'best' - so as long as they get the job done and accomplish thier missions. That is all that matters.

Stop making these lists, cause they are polluting this discussion board.

Puckam
That is about right.  All SF are roughly equal...

Hey don't forget about Canada's JTF2. They were picked over even the U.S SEAL's for missions in Afghanistan.
