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?
Not at all. It's just the fact that he is comparing a modern army with a non-existent one; the argument actually holds some value : You can talk about the differences in each army and eventually come to a decision where nobody actually knows who would win.

But once you start comparing 2 modern armies, on ridiculous grounds and then CLAIM that the latter would win, then that is where it just gets stupid.

The fact that you are being unrealistic and asking a question which just goes over the "oh dear, you took that way too far" line, makes me want to post here instead of the other one.
I have an unbiased view on this. I am neither British or American and I don't hate either. You are actually trying to argue why the SAS would win, which just goes beyond me.

Go ahead, argue all you want, I don't care anymore. Some people just don't want to listen.

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.
The films good with Michael Caine.

edit: I've also been to Roarke's Drift.

Fair enough, no harm in debating over these things. I'd say the majority here are pretty clued up on military stuff and it can be enjoyable.

100 SAS men will clearly not win, no matter how good they are.

100 marines vs 100 SAS would be more interesting.

But the SAS would clearly win

You can jump off that bandwagon now, I just said I don't fully believe they'd win. I said I'm putting points forward for their side.



Funny how after 1 or 2 people start to try and degrade and insult a person a small gang accumulates like parasites to join in. If you wanna compare me to some dumbass Redneck then do it in PM's.

as previously in the thread 100 sas vs 100 navy seals would be an interesting fight

however the sas would probably take out a few marines before they where completley overwhelmed

Who cares? It'll never happen. Are you just trying to get people to flame each other over such a lame hypothetical?

The SAS all line up in a 100 man line and fire. Killing roughly 2-4 Marines.


Haven't you read anything on the SAS?

Kane would defeat them all, by brainwashing them into fighting for the Brotherhood.
