They do have a few. Not all of them are surrender monkeys.

The GIGN. You're welcome to piss them off if you'd like, but I wouldn't rec it. They're some of the most experienced, best trained anti-terrorist special forces in the world.

The ones that freed an A320 in Marseille in 1993, killing all terrorists and no hostage seriously hurt.

I don’t like to say it, but the French “GIGN” is considered by many as the best SWAT in the world.
