SAS overrated my ass. In Sierra Leone they killed 40+ enemies and lost just 1 man. In the Iranian embassy siege they killed 5 captured 1 and lost no men. That's just 2 operations.
Barrett XM109 does

And dude, it'd be like Operation Gothic Serpent. Army Rangers and Delta Force (very well trained) versus a shitload of Somalis. The Somalis lost way more men but still ended up killing 17 Army soldiers, and forced a retreat. And these guys had Blackhawks, Littlebirds etc.
There was a mission.

In my hypothetical scenario, there is no mission but to eliminate the enemy.
Then the Marines would still win. Again, if they moved in huge groups I doubt the SAS would last very long. Not because of superior training or anything, but because they'd be outnumbered as fuck.

Wiki says there are 186K active duty Marines and 40K reserve Marines. That's almost 230K Marines.

Versus 100 SAS? The Marines would undoubtedly win.

I'm thinking the SAS could rely on the US "air support" to even up the numbers somewhat.

Guerilla warfare. Think a four man team sniping for a hill a mile away. Think bombs, claymores, traps.

And reserves don't count.

You're delusional if you think 100 people could kill off 186,000 (one hundred and eighty six thousand) people.

Sorry to dissapoint you but SAS is overrated.

What infantry weapon fires 25mm rounds?

It's hilarious to see how all of you brits are so damn full of yourselves.

"Oh, we have the best Special Forces in the world. That makes us better than you."

You would lose. So badly, it wouldn't even be funny.

Do you have any idea how many marines there are compared to 100 SAS soldiers?

You would get annihilated.

I think this should have been the question

Marines would win

EDIT: For the fucking idiot that gave me karma saying "there are no marines in that statement, dumbass," I said the marines would win as an answer to the question posed by the OP, retard.

Hey c'mon there Hurricane, the ratio is only 1860 : 1.

It would be a piece of cake if they had nuke.

The operation was aimed to be "clinical" and to assassinate the president with a minimum of what the Americans would call "collateral damage". It quickly turned into a nightmare of confusion and incompetence: members of the Spetsnaz teams (several of them had been assigned to the task) attacked in the dark, and then failed to recognise who was firing at whom - with the result that they ended up shooting each other, inflicting horrendous casualties on their own side.

And here I was thinking you were the grammatical intellectual.

Jord, your argument here holds no grounds whatsoever. Leave now and maybe you can be reserved some respect after saying the most ridiculous bullshit I have ever seen in an argument. This is what happens when you are in denial, thinking your country is so awesome.

Currently living in rape, murder and knife capital of Europe, I can tell you right now it isn't.

You know this type of hypothetical question wasn't started by me, or anyone British. Unless you haven't seen the other thread.

No, you started the one with the SAS. That is enough for me to tell you that it was your question.

If you are naive enough to think that 100 British SAS could take out over 100,000 USMC then wow... I don't know what to say. You are deluded.

"Gorilla warfare"... Yeah, rubbish. The SAS wouldn't even put themselves in such a situation, never mind win.

I don't fully believe they'd win. I'm merely presenting reasons as to why they may win.



What do you think of the other thread. 100 Marines or the entire British Army? Or is that more fair because a big headed cocky brit didn't make it?

SAS. why? you forget the brits are the former colinal power in burma. thety know the lay of the land. whta would probabyl ahppen is hta thhe marines would be flused out by the populace, and the SAS could kill the lot.

if you had been in the SAS, you'd know that they aren't allowed to admit they are, so i don't believe you. ( check the wikipedia article on the SAS. they are boudn by law not to say they are in the SAS. yhe books by ex-SAS men are under psedonyms)

Rorke’s Drift: the iconic defence of the mission station by a small force of British and colonial troops; which saw a record award of Victoria Crosses and restored the faith of Victorian Britain in the Army.
Pretty cool. Not agreeing with Jord but still I thought I'd hit you with some history.
