They were damn sure invisible in Afghanistan after Biden showed up. But that's on the leadership. Hell they were probably raring to go do their job but were instructed to stand down. Much like our border security agencies have been told. Bold strategy, let's see if it works out for 'em.

Except most MSOC doods just tapped over from Force in 06 when they stood up. Most of the Senior Raider enlisted never went to their official selection.

BRC is selection I guess though. And yea, T2. Special Teams, Special Times man

I was in basic with one of two that’s passed the test just to get into the PJs school that cycle and no one had passed in the previous 2 cycles. I’ll just say this, if there is a guy more badass then him I’d like to meet him! Dude was on a WHOLE different level then everyone else.

DNC
They have Antifa, other SJW groups and the media.
They can make their opponents bow down to their demands.

Haven't read through the thread but surely the British SAS has been mentioned. They were the first and still one of the best.

I am not aware of a more badass military engagement caught in film than the PJ that stormed the mountain top in Afghanistan giving his life. I think they finally gave him a MOH. That was tough to watch even through the drone footage.

'Special Purpose Military Units' from Russia.

The training is as grueling as anything this side of death.

Delta, ST6, CIA SAD are all Tier 1. Best of the best. I’m sure there’s an OGA that picks the best of these guys so they would be the best.

British SAS and Polish Grom would be up there with our Tier 1s

prolly just depends on which team is made up of the best individual operators.

all those guys are good, but there are individual operators in every branch/team that are at the top of the game.

Agreed. There are certain individuals that you could put in any unit and they would set themselves apart. Put the right man in the right situation and you get a legend.

I've got a few friends who were Green Berets (3rd Special Forces Group), one of whom was wounded twice in combat and received the Silver Star and another retired a Lt. Colonel and they are some tough MFers.

In no particular order:

Delta
Seals
GSG 9
SAS
Sayeret Matkal
Spetsnaz



Green Berets/Rangers/Force Recon, while ELITE specialized units, have different missions; While they are "special" and above the rank and file combat units, they perform a different missions.


As far as seals, DEVGRU is the group comparable to delta and SAS. Regular seal teams are more in line with SF/Marsoc, with ranger right behind.

Seals always get a boost because people don’t separate devgru

AF forward air combat controllers are usually embedded with Delta and ST6. They are some pretty bad dudes
