Depends on which aspect your on about, also depends what you class as "special forces".

You've got everything from the quivalent of our para's, RM and RHA up to Mossad.

Just thought they had a well known 'name' ...... I must be wrong.

Yes, watching Raid on Entebe .... their finest hour I think.

I didn't know this:=

"Idi Amin, the leader of Uganda at the time, was humiliated by the surprise raid. He believed Kenya had colluded with Israel in planning the raid and hundreds of Kenyans living in Uganda were massacred soon afterwards"

Holy ****

When i worked in a CastleCourt (a shopping centre in Belfast) one of the fellas on the cosmetics stand from Israel used to be in the Israeli special forces. He was a mixture between Zoolander and Dutch from Predator! According to the others from his country he was a very lethal man. He wa cool as ****!

Watch "Do not mess with the Zohan" it is LOL funny and kinda relevant to this thread, he is a special forces chap who fakes his own death to pursue his dream of cutting hair.

I am thinking of changing my name to 'Scrappy Coco' too...

I thought that Mossad is their secret service.

I thinks it all called "watch your back" if you are silly enough to upset them!

Its really a bit of both Leslie from what I could gather from the guys at uni. Kind of the secret service under a military banner.

Deffinatly a scarey and feared bunch though.

The Mossad are much, much smaller and are right up there with other inteligence agencies such as DGSE, SIS and CIA. All of which would be involved in black ops.
