Stop pulling shit out of your arses or saying "well I heard from some guy..." because it's all hearsay. It's not debate, it's dickswinging, it's not serious talk either unless you all start backing up your fucking statement.

Heres what really happened:
The RAN crew were hooning round in their boats (retrofitted with Commodore engines) after having a few and decided to go get pissed on the cargo boat. After a few boxes of VB and XXXX were gone, the Iranians came alongside and said the Aussies had to leave Iranian waters. The Aussies knew the real motivation was "we can't get pissed or eat pork, lets spoil their fun" and started throwing bottles at the Iranians while telling them to fuck off. After that was done they finished off the last of the beer and meat, and went back to base.
Then some Kiwi's rocked up, and challenged us Aussies to a game of cricket. But, some doods from Pakistan sail up and they're like "Yo, what up, fancy some cricket ol' boy?".
They are still part of the Army. You have to be in the "regular" Army to get into Special Forces. All the other terms you guys use are just Pentagon rubbish.Flecco wrote:

1st RAR are a regiment of soldiers deployed in the same way as any other Australian Force.
Special Forces = Better trained and equipped regular Army grunt.
A guy I used to work with done several years service in the US special forces and said there was nothing spectacular about them.usmarine2005 wrote:

The problem is; when it comes to talking about any countries' Special Forces, it becomes a 'dickswinging' contest: no matter what. Not enough information is known about the training/operations of any SF unit to warrant any being better than the other.Flecco wrote:

I just like to say the Aussie SASR are the best because it sparks factless debates over which is better.

Go fucking Aussie's!!!Skorpy-chan wrote:
Tougher because they're descended from the ones that survived a life of crime, long periods in jail, a months-long trip to the other side of the goddamn world. and being dumped in a featureless desert and told to set up a colony.
Oh, and then they offered tracts of land to WW2 veterans when they were suddenly out of a job.
So, really, natural selection means that aussies ARE some of the toughest people on the planet. The fact that australia is mostly desert also means that they're everywhere.
No matter where you go, there's always a bunch of aussies there first. And they're probably drunk, too.
It's hard out here in the bush..but we are surviving..
When i dug my hole to take a dump, a redback bit me..
But thats nothing compared to yesterdays croc westling...
