Met up with a mate of mine today his father in law died a few wks ago he was 99yrs Oldham he was one of the 1st sas men, 6 serving paras carried him into the church

He was part of a four man team that was captured in Iraq and were due to be executed mates of mine were part of the team that rescued him ......

Being a little fukcer and ending up in borstal is a far cry from becoming a professional soldier and has nothing to do with potentially being a "professional killing machine".

My brother was on exercise in Belize once. Part of the exercise was to train with special forces, not sure which one. My brothers unit were sent out into the jungle to hide and evade the special forces. After a while, which may have been days, this local looking guy rides up on a moped to where my brother and mates are hiding. He stops, has a look around and rides off. Three days later he comes back. Stops again, has another look around, then looks straight at my brothers position and says "Alright lads"

 

He's clocked them all along. :laugh:

Anything to do with sbs is usually more interesting imo and also those navy seals got it tough for selection

 

funny you saying that.....there was an ex sbs guy working alongside us on this job, when the sas was mentioned, he said "the sas are pussy's compared to the sbs's".....his words, not mine.

My great uncle dick fought with the long range desert group in north Africa. His son, who I call my cousin was a colour sergeant major and was attached to the sas. The other day he attended his daughter's passing out parade. Proud military history in that side of the family.

 

I was brought up on bed time stories about how uncle dick killed Rommel and my cousin was the first man on the balcony lol

That captured SAS guy had a few funny comebacks to the reporter.

"What was going through your mind"?

Hopefully not a bullet lol

"We tried to persuade him that we weren't going to do him any harm...."

"With a gun pointing at him ?"

"Yeah...on reflection, the gun probably didn't help......"

 

And he's definitely perfected the steely-eyed stare !
