making you agree with what? I'm not in a disagreement with Kev. Let the liberal anger fog clear from your mind, take a deep breath (etc).

He's talking about Navy SEALS though, who are widely known as being the most elite fighting force in the whole world.
Look up their objectively insane training process and say that they're " compared to" other countries' special forces.

And you're basing that on? Have you gone through both the Australian special forces training as well as SEAL training? Have you spoken with many Navy SEALS about their training? Do you have any knowledge about the subject at all?
SEAL training
Pussies

I just think it's pretty ridiculous for people who have no clue to blindly say that US Navy SEALs are compared to other countries. Americans think SEALs are the best, apparently Australians think their special forces are the best too.
Calling Navy SEALs "ragtag amateurs" lol.
I HEARD FROM SOMEWHERE THAT OTHER COUNTRIES' SPECIAL FORCES ARE BETTER AND ITS COOL TO HATE ON AMERICA SO I'M GOING TO SAY THAT AMERICAN SPECIAL FORCES SUCK LOL!

Erm, I'll take first hand accounts from military personnel over your degree from the university wiki:

I recently met a ex British Forces (Special Boat Service) commando and he confirmed that US forces are terribly trained - he said even the Seals are disturbingly compared to their counterparts in either the British, French or Israeli military. He went on to explain that Seals do not even make it past entry selection training for for the SBS or even SAS.
What he did say was that the US army is incredibly well equipped in comparison and have more money than they know what to do with - their kit is far superior and light years ahead of what the other comparable forces have - it's all lighter and newer. Basically, they have way more money but far less training and expertise.

So basically, someone in an elite force, telling me how crap seals are. He actually wasn't that complimentary about the UK SAS either. He said there's only about 150 active SBS commandos, whereas the SAS has at least 500 at any one time so it's easier to get in to, and the best ones leave to join the SBS.

Not to detract anything from how scary or how bad war is, and can be, a big part of the problem is how badly trained the normal (non-special force/elite) US troops are.
My brother in law is a luitenant in the Swiss army, machine gunners corps. As part fo a international training program, armies from around the world are invited to Switzerland to participate in training maneuvers etc, and when the US troops he was amazed how poorly trained and little real experience they had.
one particular exercise is to sit in a bunker while it's repeatedly hit with live ammo/shells - they had to stop the exercise just after it begah as the US troops were so freaked out they could not hold on.
So much apparently, is done in simulators, with recruits that aren't fit for combat in the first place.

So there's another first hand account of a serving member of the military telling me how crap US army forces are in comparison to other countries military.
In fact, you want to know one of the biggest streams of revenue for the Swiss army? Buying US made military technology that was classed us unreliable or not fit for combat, then re-engineering it, making the work and then selling it back to the US military for an insane profit.
Finally, look up the Aussie SASR training - the stats are clear. I'm not joking - It's one of the only training programs that is so tough, you if you're not making the grade and don't quit, you could well die before it's over. ing nutters. |

Isnt it widely accepšted, that what the thing us special forces are best at is marketing, otherwise they are pretty mediocre compared to the worlds elite.
Sort of like Apple, it actually produces mediocre products, but its marketing department has lots of people (well i say people...americans) that what they are offering is more awesome than the second comming of jesus. |

You guys sound like Nou. The SEAL teams are probably as good as any of the world's elite.
Except for JTF2. :toothless |
