A country ultimately lives and dies by its choices and by the men it can supply in its defence.

"The SAF ...If the quote in the brochure .....<br /><br />"The SAF Special Forces are the Elite Soldiers of the SAF,"<br /><br />Is true<br /><br />Then SAF Special Forces are not really tier one Special Mission units on par with Delta, SEAL, SAS or SBS<br /><br />Looks like SAF Special Forces are nothing more than advance level infantry. Maybe on par with Ranger, Marine Reccon, SWCC, UK Parachute Regiment or French Foreign Region. Even compared to these units physical requirements alone the SAF ones seemed very tame.<br /><br />Wonder if SAF has put too much emphasis on technology and not enough on force development.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-34901050308192919482012-05-31T02:47:35.321+08:002012-05-31T02:47:35.321+08:00French Foreign Legion
