If this was a cock-up why would you post this video, your endangering there lives?

[eliteukforces]

a. it was 10 years ago

b. you cannot see their faces particularly clearly, if at all

c. it's already part of the public domain - this clip was downloaded from the BBC website

I somewhat doubt it is SBS or any special forces as well, most UKSF would undoubtably have blackened or blurred faces when appearing on camera

[eliteukforces]

News photos/footage of UKSF without the blurring has very occasionaly slipped through the cracks. This is one example.

[britpilot]

Ah ok, youd imagine if it was one that slipped in, it would be more a rogue video, video phone job, this seems govt. official job, so youd have thught theyd make all efforts to blur..but maybe not

[eliteukforces]

Probably a cock-up or perhaps the news crew didn't clear it before transmission. IIRC it showed unblurred on both the BBC and Sky News.

I remember news footage of the SAS on a land rover patrol in Sierra Leone in 2000. The SAS saw the cameras and threatened to smash them up. The SBS seem a little less camera shy at times.

i love all the keyboard experts you get on here.

most have probably never served - nor ever will.

if you dont know what your talking about - and clearly most dont, then dont fucking post!

BRIT SBS ARE THE 'WORLDS' MOST ELITE FIGHTING FORCE, NO QUESTION!

@bob18robert You seriously have no idea how the internet works do you. This vid must be on a million websites by now, plus it was taken 10 years ago so these blokes are either dead or have bar jobs by now. In fact you can see the SAS and SBS training camps on google maps!!! As for these lads actually being the real SBS.....what do you think.

[bob18robert]

cover their faces for god's sake. your fucking fetish about them may put their lifes in danger. and i don't care if this is from bbc

[LachVan]

This isn't a video of the SBS. I know because I'm the guy manning the GPMG in the footage. We were a 'shower section', our job was to collect and purify water in 20L jerries, then pour it into portable shower buckets while the troops were lathering themselves with soap.

[Pippin76]

lol, i love how they come out all ready to get it on!

[cqbhoun]

My gran is the best SF in the world.

[dickydom9]

thats not the sbs. more likely to be 59 commando (RE)

[2gd4u615]

I thought that they were masters in blurring their own face?

[bommer321]

@royalmarine40cdo You talk to any SBS soldier I bet you they dont think they are the worlds best.....what do you think once every four years the worlds SF community holds an SF olympics NO of course not you IDIOT any one who says this or that SF is the best in the world is full of shite and has no concept of reality

[fpvshitsonhsv]

How old are you? You seem to have no idea but the one you have is very narrow minded! SASNZ are good and use our training but are not the best by far
