I was browsing the net, and looking at pictures of Rangers raiding buildings in Iraq, and I thought they looked way better than the crap in movies. Just thought I’d get your opinion on which the coolest looking SF group was.
In my opinion, my favorite is the US Navy SEALS or the Israeli SF teams.
I have to say, the SAS has kinda an aura around it which I love. All the above mentioned groups are truely elite. The Israelis probably see the most action.
Just read the book so I thought I would toss this in. the elite, non existant, NATO counter terrorism unit RAINBOW!
yeah…I am bored
Non-existant as far as we know. :wink:
wink wink…. nod nod… say no more
Our boys under NATO?!? Too close to Americans under the UN for my taste. Screw that!!
My vote goes to the Syrian Crack Suicide Squad(am I remembering my Monty Python’s ‘The Life of Brian’ movie correctly??).
Oh, you must be a fan of Clinton then (only president in decades to put our troops under the command of another country)….tsk,tsk,tsk… :roll:
Come on now El Jefe, NATO and the U.N. are seperate beasts.
DS, Love the quote and the show.
you forgot the Canadian JTF2’s. Although i’ve never seen them - i guess that’s the point, really . . . .
Funny you should mention that :P , I actually had those on my list, but the forums (unfortunately) limit how many options you can have in a poll. I took them off becuase I wasn’t sure if many people had heard of them before. :(

I believe they belonged to the Judean People’s Front…at least if you’re talking about the guys who ran in front of Brian on the crucifix and stabbed themselves.
Jz, Think about it. USAn troops under a French commander. Nuff said?
GI, Weren’t they separate factions in the struggle for independence(or death?)
US troops under French commander….
No, nefer, ve must lead, ve haff the only Übersoldiers, so ve haff to haff the Überleader…
I just received a postcard from a friend who works in the US at the moment:
It the flag on it, and the words “courage, honor, loyality”. My first thought was “My honor is (called) loyality”…
hail to the ÜSA

Yes, I believe they were.

where’d you get the umlaut?
Is it surprising to find Umlaute on german keyboards?
Yes it is Falk, I personally was so shocked by it, that I could not stand up for an hour.
@F_alk:

I guess my lack of travel experience leads me to assume things that I would otherwise realize. So they just put those keys on there? I thought there was some sort of Alt + [button] you had to press or something like that.
No, we have all Umlauts here: ä ö ü Ä ö Ü ß,
then the z and y key are changed, as we need the z more often than the y. At least, some of the signs have different positions.
And that is only one other keyboard. The Scandinavians, the French, probably the Turks will have other keyboards, and don’t forget all those that use a different alphabet.
i believe monty python’s flying circus had a sketch with a unit of suicidal scottish highlanders too. very funny, even though i am a big fan of scotland. 8)

Excellent! I would have asked about the Scandinavians, but don’t they all speak different languages? I would guess the Turks definitely, as they use the Cyrillic alphabet :-? .

The only one I can think of like that is where everyone gets eaten by blancmanges from outer space. :D
