LoL, this guy thinks his "commander" would have the pay-grade and clearance to do a search on someone who doesn't exist as far as the US Government is concerned. I lol'd, I did.

Joe owes me his life 10 times over and $17.00, let him know I've not forgotten either.
Listen, a Chairborne Ranger such as yourself doesn't get to question the service of real heroes. I topple dictatorships and set up puppet regimes all in the time before you've had breakfast, son.

As far as you know. Once again, we at the CIA did our job and stayed behind the behind curtains.
Here, let's do a little mental exercise of your situational awareness:
How many CIA SAD operatives are in this pic? Take you time and don't cheat. Once you think you have the number, then look.
Spoiler:
42 operatives. Mindset and I are in the middle; he's the one sitting on my lap, our faces are blurred for obvious security reasons.

well let it be clear that our Royal Marines have the fastest Amphibious record. And our SAS training lasts about over 1 year and the selection process for the SAS is the hardest in the world. The SAS missions are usually in squads of 4-10 men all individually trained in different fields. One man will be an expert in communications,another in disarming explosives, another in medical treatment, another in orienteering and so on but always the most expierenced soldier in the squad will have a certain expertise in each field. This makes the SAS the most advanced CT unit in the world. No SAS soldiers have been KIA since WW2, They were deployed in WW1, WW2, falklands, both gulf wars and were used in the hostage crisis in the Iranian embassy and used in Germany when a plane was hijacked by terrorists.
Somehow I think you have lost the track a bit on your SAS assuming you are refering to british sas. As a prior member of CSQN Rhodesian SAS which is a vacant lot in your structure since 1980, I know a few sas operatives that were killed there. And a couple that were killed from the other squadrons in england. Like those in Oman and similar places. Please, keep the comments real in reference to them. I did however note that you said each sas operative was individually trained in different fields. Do you mean they were trained in each field separately or trained only in one field. What sets the sas and the sasr apart from american forces is the specialist degree. There is none. SAS and SASR are trained in ÁLL' fields and prefer to use communications experts from signals corps to give the experience and proffessional edge to the mission. You said it takes 1 year to train for the sas...well in australia selection will take up to 6 months and training begins at two years+. Training is a full time ongoing everyday thing for any special forces. While much is said about who is best, American soldiers who participated on Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan wont hesitate to tell you it is the SASR. It wasnt their own SF's that pulled them out of the shyte but rather the SASR. Not discrediting the seals and delta operatives that were there. They were in a tight situation themsleves and lost a few good operators due to command failure at the top. That is the most common cause for any Sf mission to fail. Not the operative on the ground. So much so that the following morning back at the american base, 150 marines and SF's stood aside and urged the SASR members forward to eat first. What could ever come between 150 starving marines and their breakfast. Respect. The SASR has the best 'record' so far but time will tell. Time is what took that edge from the SAS. However, when it comes to professionalism in the field, they can all intergrate together from cross training and get the job done. You wont find one american SF operative from any sector who wont stand beside an sas or sasr operative in the field. There is none better. While they differ in projection and missions and training, they all get the job done and they all have stuff ups. As professionsals they move through that and start fresh on every mission. No such thing as the perfect mission. Much respect to all the SF's and soldiers that did serve.
