  • in USA

    Rangers- Best raid force

    Special Forces- Best in unconventional war

    Delta Force- Best in hostage rescue

    Pararescue- Best rescue force

    Marine Recon- Best Recon force

    SEALs- Best Sea operations force

  • Comment removed

  • @chuyfdz97 Well the USA seems to have the best everything.

  • Are you people fucking retarded? There's no way in hell the SAS is better than ANY U.S. special force. We've been cross training for so long that any lack in our training that was noticed would be discussed and fixed. Quit saying your shitty little countries are anywhere near the US Special Operations. They're not. We're better. Get fucking over it. Including you Britain. I don't give a shit if SAS was around longer

  • @combatswimmer1 How would you know? Have you been in the SAS or in the special forces. Have you seen SAS vs the Americans? Or are you just going AMERICA FUCK YEAH?

  • @Howie5561 Yeah pretty much the last of the three, but it is really fucking annoying listening to these people brag about their special forces on every US Spec Ops video

  • @combatswimmer1 i agree i'm not a special forces operative and i never will be so i cant say whose the best. But what you said before wouldn't that be considered bragging? Not trying to start a fight or anything but that sounds kinda hypocritical

  • I dont know if its been said before because I'm not going through every page of comments looking for it but you guys all realize that Delta force was formed by a former SAS operative who saw that America needed it's own proper special forces, because before then, they only had forces like Rangers. so there that concludes this dispute. they're both as good as each other because they both use the same basics as each other.

  • I honestly don't care which special unit is the best, they would all kick my ass.

  • HOLD ON.

    "Rangers were trained by the British Commandos in climbing cliffs."

    There you go, Britain helped train the Rangers. So the Americans and the British worked together... They didn't fight. They helped each other. We're still doing that now... So why is everyone on the internet fighting? The real soldiers work together while the keyboard warriors battle it out. Pathetic people.

  • @MadamKouassi and the SAS helped train our SEALs

  • @ChromeGhost0219 I think SAS helped everybody. haha

    Delta, SEALs, Sayeret Matkal, SBS, JTF2, etc. They practically wrote the book on 'green role' special operations and counter terrorism.

  • @MadamKouassi pretty much

  • @ChromeGhost0219 Don't get me wrong though. Your SEALs are some of the best fucking special forces on the planet. ST6 went and got Bin Laden. That took skill. Even the SAS were impressed with that op.

  • @MadamKouassi indeed, however I still think the SAS and the SBS are the best

  • i agree that sas is best but i believe in training and experience devgrou and delta are comparable.Delta takes the best special forces soldiers then puts them through a even tougher selection process and take one two or maybe none of the soldiers who try and Delta was modeled after the sas. DEvgrou takes the best seals and does the same thing

  • @evilhamster14422 SAS is not as specialized in their selection as devgru or delta. It's not an "America is better thing" its just that SAS isn't as selective.

  • @MadamKouassi what do u mean by "green role", and i dont understand whats the point of having rangers tpday if we have SEALs, can u tell me whast the difference?

  • @xxxCRAZYLOVExxx "Green role" basically refers to intelligence gathering and counter sniping operations. Rangers and SEALs have different purposes and skills. SEALs are special forces that specialize in counter terrorism and marine operations. The Rangers are a special operations light infantry unit. Robust, capable and easily deployed to back up other special forces.

  • @MadamKouassi ok thansk but how do u know this?

  • @xxxCRAZYLOVExxx It's pretty standard stuff. Military books, programs, websites, etc., will all tell you what you need or want to know about most of this.

  • @MadamKouassi Never looked at it that way.

    

  • @MadamKouassi Wow. They helped the Rangers climb cliffs? Really?

    You don't think the Rangers could have done that anyways? You don't think an eleven-year-old could do that without help from the Brits? If you said 'no' to either, you are an idiot.

  • @MrFromUSA Whoa. Chill out, Mr. "Why don't I just change my given name to 'YEEHAW. I LOVE AMERICA'". Even the guy in the video said what I said and he was American.

    Got some kind of inferiority complex? Is it a matter of pride to you? Are you a Ranger? Like most Americans, do you have an issue with admitting that you need help from others sometimes? American units crosstrain with foreign militaries constantly. No shame. They have skills you don't have and vice versa.

  • @MadamKouassi I'm very sure that now, the U.S. military can do everything the Brits can do, and better.

    Also, ad homenim is a horrible attempt at argument, as in the first 3 sentences of your comment.

    Besides, my point was not about cross-training, it was about you saying Britain helped the U.S. by teaching them to climb cliffs as if that was a turning point in the War. Widen your scope. kid.

  • @MrFromUSA If that was true, you wouldn't keep training with British forces, would you?

    And in no way was I suggesting that because of the British soldiers teaching your Rangers to climb cliffs we stopped the war. I'm sure you guys would have figured out how to do it... Eventually. That the way the US roles isn't it? Copy someone else, do it better and in the end, completely fuck themselves up. Be proud of your country while it's still keeping it's nose out of the water.

  • @MadamKouassi the only thing the British taught the Rangers was the cliff climbing part the tactics were from the early colonial days patterned after the native american quick slice and dice tactics of hitting and hiding and repeat

  • @texasrangersr1 Yeah, obviously. But everyone has learned to use the "hit hard and disappear" technique. Guerrilla forces, special operations soldiers, etc. They all use the same techniques that were used and refined by Native Americans centuries ago to quickly and effectively disrupt Americans troops. Actually kind of funny isn't it? Rangers learned to use the same techniques tried on them by the Native Americans.

  • @MadamKouassi I agree. Were allies, so it don't matter 'cause we ain't never gonna fight the UK.

  • um @0:17 thats a marine. just saying

  • @ajmidget94

    how can u tell anyways? innocent questin here

  • @joshtong1234 they wear different camo

  • @ajmidget94

    ohhh ok thanks hehe

  • can i just say, looking at the top two comments,  Australia is awsome :D

  • good guy saying hello to the bad guys┌П┐(◣_◢)┌П┐

  • @yotubemass -.-

  • haha i see a poor private in the video getting ready for dday and his face said: oh god this is gonna suck!

  • at 1:35, if you listen carefully, you can hear the rangers victory music from modern warfare 2.

  • It must be hard to pin point enemies in afgan and iraq.

  • woot for australia haha

  • thumbs up if you think that weaponology should make a documentary about the star wars stormtroopers.

  • @SuperMrDelgado lol then WHY THE FUCK R you on this video!!!!!!

  • WHY THE FUCK DOES A MILITARY HISTORIAN NEED TO BE WEARING CAMO!? IS SOMEONE GOING TO SHOOT AT HIM IN THE FUCKING LIBRARY?

  • @MetalSnakesUK

    yeah, he had an english accent, but wasn't he wearing US pattern camo?

  • RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!

  • wut song is at 0:18

  • Comment removed

  • There would have been many, many more deaths and World War II would have been quite longer (maybe even 1-2 years) had the U.S. not invaded the European front

  • in both wars, germany feared canadian troops... especially world war one, when they were nicknamed "Shock Troops" because of the way they stormed the trenches as if no one had explained trench warfare to them. ^_^

  • omaha was most dealy because us ships were scared to go near the beach so dropped men too far out and they drowned

    thats the land of hope and glory

  • Job nobody wants? SEALs are the sneaky bastards (Inna good way) that go in 4 to 16 against 100+ and leave all to none.

  • 2:36

    sometimes the Germans at the top would wait for the Americans to come to the top, and then cut the rope.

  • Kick down the door? They blew out the whole wall and drove hell in with a bulldozer

  • see the problem with this is that the spetznaz is pushed to their limits knowing their guns by heart and being perfectly trainned with these weapons and can take alot of hand to hand punishment making them the strongest and best soldiers

  • at 1:48 are one of the greatest battle in ww2 at Point Du hoc

  • USMC is much better.

  • Wow, Saving Private Ryan was wrong. In the film the Captain Tom Hanks played as claimed to be 2nd Rangers, but in the start of the film he was at Omaha. As it turns out, they were actually at Utah while the 5th Rangers were at Omaha Beach.

  • Ranger Lead the way!!!

  • i thought d day was marines , not rangers

  • Comment removed

  • d day were rangers and marines were all in japan rangers in Europe and marines in japan

  • @MrJrMcLovin marines ran ddays in the pacific b/c they used the island hopping technique to get closer to japan

    there was only one dday in the european theater so the army went to fight germans

  • Alan Turing won the war. look him up

  • You post bullshit-

    I will not debate morons who do NOT know what the fuck they are saying-

  • @WICKEDMAN85

    lets just say that each country's army,navy, etc. has a strong point and a weakness

  • I'll agree to that at least your a rational man thats refershing to see on here.

  • America and Britain are allies.

    Lets not fuck it up. What happens when those ruskys get pissed? Face it, we need eachother.

  • Comment removed

  • @WICKEDMAN85

    liar-

    LEAVE POLITICS OUT OF IT

    The Democrats in America hate the U.S Armed forces as the do any other EXCEPT THE ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS.

  • First and foremost "who cares" well you bloody brothered to write 3 messages which shows me your an idiot already!!! What the hell do you know about the Democrats and Republicans there wars are failing already in Afghanistan and Iraq!! Get your facts right Royal Navy is seen as the best trained Navy around, the most combat experienced around. The U.S is the biggest and well supplied but not the best.

  • He's right, because the US armed forces deal with much bigger numbers of sf recruits they are not able to train them as long and intense as some sf recruits in smaller countries like the UK with their SAS.

  • I totally agree the U.S Marine Corps is bigger than our entire Army which causes big problems. OPERATION ANACONDA reviewed by U.S SOF mag to say that Operation Anaconda mission planners violated just about every rule of the tactics manuals: underestimating the enemy's strength and capabilities, over-reliance on air power for support, transport, and resupply, lack of adequate preparatory and support, separation of forces, lack of support between units, the list is extensive. Their exact words.

  • @diramonsky You do relize the US spends more money on their military per year than the next 5 countries combined?

    You do relize that DEVGRU, the Navys elite counter-terrorism unit has a larger ammo budget for training 300 men than the entire British army? Source: Rogue Warrior by Richard Marcinko the founder of SEAL Team 6.

  • @Crizzle789

    Being a professional soldier isn't all about shooting. You lost the wars in the Middle East because you only do shooting, no thinking.

  • @diramonsky , this hilarious that u as a dutch person would say this ;-) because it was the dutch that pulled back on the mission outside of uruzgan cuz they thought it was to dangerous, but where to 'TO SMART' to communicate this to the brits and americans, leaving us with dead soldiers ;-)

  • @devonUSMC

    Wtf does that have to do with the fact that USA don't have the best trained spec forces. If it was up to me our forces wouldn't have gone to Afghanistan in the 1st place because the Americans don't have a clue how to handle these kinds of conflicts as we have seen in the Middle East and Vietnam.

  • @diramonsky is to do with the fact, that ur so called 'better trained' forces ran the moment shit got dangerous, so they can be so well trained, maybe in stead they should actually fight so they can learn about combat stress and do the theory they learn in real life ;-) + the fact the ur so well trained military surrendered there country and joined the nazi's with only a 2 day fight!! and which military had to come al the way over to save ur asses?

  • @devonUSMC

    What do you know about facts. The fact is that only 3 days ago a young Dutch soldier was killed in Uruzgan while helping in your dirty little occupation making a total of 24 KIA since the misson started. Google Luc Janzen you piece of shit. What if his parents would read the disrespectfull nonsense you spew here as if his death was for nothing which in the end is probably was.

  • @diramonsky i lived in holland for 6 years stom kk idioot die je bent, dus kom niet praten alsof ik van niks weet! die jonge die daar over de ied is gereden was een vriend van vrienden van mijn in het KCT! so next time u wanna get all gangsta behind ur desktop think twice before u make stupid comments ;-) and disrespectfull? who's the lil punkass bitch that started all of the bullshit ? + the fact that u post a lil anti military text on my profile? haha who's disrespecting ur dead soldiers now

  • @devonUSMC

    Whaha moron. You lived in Holland so you get to piss on our involvement in Uruzgan. You are pathetic. As if that is supposed to justify what you said. Either there is something wrong with you or you are plain stupid and a backstabber on top. I suspect both. I'm done here.

  • @diramonsky dude, ive been fighting since the day i could walk, and as i said i lived there for 6 years, i got more connections in amsterdam and utrecht then u could possibly think of ;-) ! so i aint to worried;-) but i dont need weapons i aint no pussy!

  • @devonUSMC

    Died for America's greed. And what does he get in return, stupid motherfuckers like you talking shit like USA are the only ones taking hits. You're pathetic and people like you only confirm that following the USA into this illegal war was a big mistake.

  • @diramonsky how many american soldiers died to save hollands sorry ass in the second world war?> HOW MANY ? GET UR FUCKING FACTS STRAIGHT! and how many people died in vietnam to help the fucking french? or do u just wanna call that an invasion to? first study some more then talk !! and dont even think about telling me i disrespect military after posting that bullshit on my profile!! lil bitch thinks he's tough behind a computer punk ass!

  • @devonUSMC The fact that that friends of yours alledgedly know that guy makes your entire personality here questionable. You are just a fake dutch guy wannabe, LOL telling me to think twice whaha. And stop attempting to get ww2 into this because that isn't what this was about in the 1st place.

  • @diramonsky whoa whoa get some balls THEN you can talk bitch

  • @sarsfieldusmc

    Come bring it to my town and I guarantee you that you will never leave soldierboy.

  • @diramonsky A backstapper? and ill pull ww2 into this aslong as u keep it up about vietnam of which u know nothing about;-) and u see what ur doing is spittin on the usa, with this war and vietnam (cuz its the only 2 without complete succes so far) and as soon as someone else pull ups a bad war for holland u try and change that? boy why dont u go back to ur lil computer games and play wanna bee soldier again ;-)

  • @devonUSMC

    I said I'm done with you moron. Go be stupid to somebody equally retarded like sarsfieldusmc . He will agree with every one of your fucktarded statements. You guys posing as marines are the lowest of the internet. Go jerk of on a f14 poster ya freaks.

  • @devonUSMC

    Fuckin idiot you obviously know nothing about the circumstances of our surrender in WW2 so why talk shit about it. Go win your own wars before you critisize the army of a tiny country like Holland. Atleast we fought a real army not some peasants with ak's. Your countries foreign policies and war records are pathetic really so why talk big asshole. You got a big army but no brains to use it.

  • @diramonsky Posing to be ? haha wannabee! ur da one the wannabee military here that has its whole utube profile full of video games of military! and yeah i know the exact circumstances had to study dutch history in highschool! ;-) but what town u live in ? u so gangsta and wanna call me a poseR? im in holland in december, so why dont u hossel up ur boyfriends and come say it in my face pussy?

  • @devonUSMC

    All I have left to say to you is that I respect that you leave the Henry Kissinger quote on your page. Contact me in december and maybe we can meet up. I suggest we try to have a conversation in real life like normal persons before we start throwing fists and whatever you chose to bring. Let me tell you though that it's not smart to confront a stranger when you visit his country. You never know what you might encounter. That's just a stupid thing to do man.

  • @diramonsky your military is peasent with ak's lol

    btw wen was the last time you fought a war, then won?

  • @sarsfieldusmc

    I couldn't care less about what you think about our army. If it was up to me we had no army and that wasted money would be spent on making my life better and fucking cheaper instead of being big fuckup America's little pet dog.

    I'm just saying that smaller countries have better trained spec forces then yours.

  • @devonUSMC If you need to mindlesly destroy a country to the ground, call the USA, if you want to do a peacemission DO NOT CALL THE USA. Cause they don't train their forces as profesional as we do. It's just the way it is, don't cry to me about it.

  • @Crizzle789 True but they still lost in Vietname to a bunch of peasent with sharpened sticks. turn out punji sitcks were just as effecitve as expensive weapons

  • @badpanda84

    Actually, US forces did very well against the enemy in Vietnam and the only reason they lost was because of the US government which pulled out before the job was done and tried to run the war itself by holding back efforts in earlier parts of the war. In fact, those "peasants" suffered tremendous losses at the hands of US forces.

  • @badpanda84 no, the US government wouldn't let the U.S. win in nom. They didn't let them invade the north. If it weren't for the gov not being able to decide on anything, we would have one

  • America is occupying Afghanistan and Iraq. That means that American Armed firces control the region. The wars was won. Learn what an insurgency is before you spout off your bullshit. It seems to me you do not fucking know what the hell YOU are posting. I served in THE FUCKING ARMY and know.

    I hate retards like wickedmoron85.

  • Leave Policts your the one who brough them up to me you bell end!!! Go back to school thats if you ever gratiduated in the first place. What a fool your are.

  • Moron, please get a clue.

    The Left Wing is more of a fuck up than the right wing.

    The only fool is yourself for not getting the point. But, you are a simple ass stain.

    You smell more than you make sense.

  • Im a moron like at your use of the English language that if you can. Ass- stain you crack me up what a stupid uneducated man, I was educated over here sorry you didn't so I want bother writing like a KKK retard which your are. Come over to the Great Britain and learn to write English not American slang, as we gave you are fine language which idiots like you ruin!!!!

  • TESTIFY! :-)

  • Shut the fuck up and get lost. Stop wasting my time.

    You are nothing more than a fucking retarded ass troll.

    U.S kicks ass, especially thr U.S Army.

  • Listen to your own advice and stop wasting my time to, talking to a stupid white trash redneck. Go back and watch FOX you stupid uneducated plonker!!! Go and learn some real histroty, but wait a second that would involve reading books not watch or FOX bullshitT.V!!!!!!! Go and shoot yourself

  • @GodAndtheRepublic fuckin hooah godandtherepublic. Thanks 4 the support

  • @Rl831

    always-

  • Already proves what a stupid uneducated man you are Fox News is bullshit and around the world everybody laughs at it. Just readin your profile sums you up, racist, nazi, scarmonger,fundmentalist. As Bill Maher would say a 'Category 5' Moron. God help America with people like you around calling themselves Christians!!!!!!

  • russia won't start a war with the u.s. or its allies because they know they'll destroy the planet... they're not stupid.. assholes maybe..

  • @FLteenm1a1

    U.S.S.R as we know it no longer exists. America won the Cold War. China is still a leftist Communist hold out. They can not compete with America on a technological level unless AMERICA helps or allows it so.

  • Im gonna throw up the next time i see this gay pearljam commercial...

  • mission accomplished!

  • HOO RAAHH!!

  • ITS HOOAH

    OORAH IS MARINE CORP

  • It is spelled either way.

  • thats coast guard

  • Lol Greenway was my Drill instuctor..D4/30inf 9dec88

  • "They found the guns and destroyed them, mission accomplished"

    No way was it that easy...?

  • Well, they gotta fit all this stuff into a 30 minute show.

    The guns were moved inland and hidden among a grove of trees. Two or three Rangers snuck in and sabotaged them with thermite grenades. I think you can find the interview of one of those Rangers on YouTube somewhere.

  • the spirit of the A.N.Z.A.C.....aussie soldiers are well trained and well armed

  • amen

  • KITES ME LIKE KITES

  • wat britain lacks in numbers we more then make up in courage and spirit aswell as the sa80a2, if america or australia was in our position with the same amount of numbers in the falklands they woodnt hav won

  • No not really.

    You never know what happens in war EVERYTHING goes when your trying to kill someone.

  • sa80/l85 is a horribly designed gun. the bulk of its weight is in the back of the gun, and the parting between the trigger and the stock is substantial. it's a clumsy and unwieldy, also unreliable weapon. they should have kept using their old sterlings and fn fals, which were amazing compared to the l85.

  • australia wont beat america if we fought them but who would? but we would give em a hellava fight, we could kick britans ass tho!

  • america has a much bigger military then britain britain has as many army soldiers as the u.s. has marines... plus the u.s. has the most elite equipment and troops in the world.. i have no idea about australia.. lol but we beat britain a few times we can do it again

  • You beat us once in the War of independence, and that was pretty much Brits and the French V the Brits, but we got you back in 1812 when we chased the colonists out of their capital city and torched the whitehouse.

  • from what i remember the u.s. won the war of 1812 also? and in the revolutionary war the brits had a superior navy, better weapons, more artillery. The only reason the u.s. won is because every country that fights for independence of what they think is right always wins... its the will of the people that won

  • What are they teaching you Americans in School? If you think the US won the war of 1812 you must be stupid. Here's a Quick history lesson.

    Britain was at war with most of Europe, so the US thought it would be the perfect time to teach the loyal Americans up North a lesson and try to annex Canada, but they got chased all the way home by British regulars and Canadian Militia. They then Chased Madison out of Washington and torched the whitehouse.

  • The Colonists were getting the bottoms slapped by The Brits and canucks in their own country, though I'm sure someones going to mention the Battle of New Orleans which you yanks live off, but they'll gladly forget the majority of Battles the Brits and canucks won. After nepolean was defeated, the colonists sued for peace and gained nothing (ghent). Perhaps Madison heard that the Battle hardened troops of the Brit peninsula army, who had just invaded France, spain and portugal were on their way.

  • last I checked, the US isn't controlled by the french or the british.. or anyone else for that matter. I have nothing against any other of our ally countries but seriously, you got your asses handed to you, move on. What a lame ass thing to argue about, something that happened so long ago

  • Who said anything about the British and French controlling the States?

    I know our countries are allies, but that doesn't stop us discussing history, i'd thought i'd just give a few of your fellow countrymen a history lesson, because they seem a little confused.

  • No, the reason why the Colonists wo the war of independence was because of 2000 odd miles of Ocean, and the French. Simples. The French even gave The States their most prized bit on concrete, the statue of Liberty.

  • i dont see how giving them the statue of liberty makes them win a war... but the ocean thing does..

  • The French gave it to the states as a gift, anyone fighting against the British were friends of the French.

  • im pretty sure they got it after the war.. hence the name statue of LIBERTY.. the french didnt help its ok dude it was over 100 years ago britain lost the war

  • Do you even know your Countrys history it seems no. The French Navy won your countrys Indepence. Go and read a book and get your facts right.

  • im polish american (born in poland live in ameirca) and it's not like the french navy did all of the work...

  • Well the French played a major part and Im fed up of people saying they didn't. Im British and like to face the facts. Britain made a major mistake in America by not listening to them and which resulted in the war of Indepence.

  • well its probably because the british said that these rebels are just untrained civilians they cant beat our supperior military! yeah the u.s. government thought that in vietnam and afghanistan lol and in all those wars other countries helped aswell.... you just don't expect it

  • veitnam was a political loss, afghanisthan were winning :)

  • lol yeah true but at what cost? and nobody knows why were fighting in afghanistan.. sure to kill taliban... find the al qaeda that arent in afghanistan anymore... but people don't know the talibans history with afghanistan

  • I agree with most of that but the Afghan mission is lost already and are talking about peace with the Taliban. So much for Bush and Cheney war on terror bullcrap. America is bigger but Britain better trained Army and Navy forces, without doubt.

  • oh no, our navy is way better then britian, we have more combat experiance, and without america you would have lost WW2 your just another cockey brit, read my post lower below bout the ships, we won the war of 1812

    there is a battle in the war of 1812

    the battle of new orleans

    americans had 13 dead

    britian had 2000 missing wounded or dead

    and were winning afghanisthan

    in the war of 1812 you had a better navy but our ships were beating you,

  • in fact some ships sailed to britian and attacked you there, also we had the first ironside ship, which kicked your ships ass, but i bet you didnt know that, hey did you notice until america entered the war britian was losing to germany, and as pertaining to the russians, i dont think they did alot more fighting then us, DO YOU KNOW THE RUSSIAN STRATAGY?

    THE STEAM ROLLER TECHNIQE

    YOULL RUN OUTTA BULLETS BEFORE WE RUN OUT OF MEN

    IN OTHER WORDS,ATTACK THE ENEMY WITH HOARDS OF UNTRAIND SOLDIERS
