Royal Australian SAS? Colombian Lanceros? Too much counterterror emphasis on this list. Hostage situations have turned many “SF” units into amped up SWAT teams. Shows this list was made by a reactionary amateur with knowledge three miles (not clicks) wide and two inches deep.

Gurkhas are good soldiers, they are not Special Operations super soldiers.
