I hate to tell ya this dude.... But.... Those guys work so much together that it would most likely end up with both parties casting rude joke at one another, comparing weapons and then finding out that capt so-and-so has a bottle of hooch.... They would then do one of two things.. Light something on fire with said bottle of alchohol ( Because I can guarantee it will be 50proof +)...... Or commencing with a drinking game.. The individuals from either side who don't drink would make MRE tear gas bombs so they could mess with the ones who do drink.... In the morning they would all go back to home base and write a report about the events... The report would then be classified and we would never hear about it because said report would never see the light of day. Think that wouldn't happen??? During ww1 on a christmas eve, a group of english and german soldiers played soccer (or football) together.. In the weeks following their platoons were moved to different parts of the line because they refused to fire on one another. So...... SAS vs Delta..... It's a bunch of guys in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of cool gagets and nothing but time...... It could happen.. xD

LOL. Good read Fenrir.

lol what planet is this guy on

 

[medic_man]

Hate to say this mate but you play too much computer games.

 

[Fenrir003]

lol.. Don't kick him for proposing an interesting idea. The only problem is that both the sas and delta have an almost legendary reputation.. Nobody really wants to admit either losing.. rofl.. Even if it is to each other.. lol

So in a war situation they would disobey direct orders and get drunk? Maybe that is what happened at the Bay of Pigs.

They are both among the best at what they do. Its hard telling who would come out ahead.

Rofl.. It WAS a joke.. lol.. And sadly.. The bay of pigs was our own fault. We were to provide support for the revolutionaries and we pulled out at the last minute.

Put down the PS3 controller please!!

 

[Fenrir003]

lol.. Like I said. Don't kick him for proposing an interesting idea. lol.. I just decided to put a spin on it. xD

Silly idea.

In battle, too much depends upon imponderables.
Who knows (and has trained for) that kind of terrain better.
Whose kit best fits the situation.
Who has the best intel.
Who is simply most "switched on" on the day.
Who just gets "lucky".
.... and so on and so on.



I would back our blokes to be among the best and most professional at what they do, but that is no guarantee, any more than putting two nearly-equal sports teams onto the field guarantees the result that you expect.

I nearly fell out of my chair! XD In all seriousness, these guys really are on a different level. I met a guy who admitted to working in the 1st special forces division soon after my dad retired from the 10th div. He was out there.
But please understand, these guys are recruited from the sickest of the sick-good. So, when I see stories like the quoted, I don't see it from being too far off! As the UK and the US are political allies, the SAS vs delta really is kind of a joke. Though these guys are "soldiers," they are operators that would put the retardedness of James Bond to shame. Soldiers can't handle the stuff these guys do, and do it well.
anyway, I'll /rant

I would love to attend a joint sas/delta night on the town. that would be crazy, no doubt!

A lot of the SAS and SBS books I read (this was Iran–Iraq era Gulf War stuff) had some negative comments to say about Delta Force. Not a lot, but a bit. Some of it centred on their obsession with weightlifting which resulted in huge muscles, but no stamina for long marches, etc.

Probably because Delta Force don't place the same kind of emphasis on recon that the SAS does.

I didn't even realize I created this thread, it's a bit silly really now that I look at it
