If the SAS were out of ammo and throwing rocks and stabbing, why wouldnt the ISIS fighter stay 30 yards back and dump lead. Why go hand to hand when you have an AK? Me smells a lot of BS. |

The SAS are legit. I've read on here many members who've worked with them directly saying they are awesome. I have not, obviously, but they are one of the few SF outside of our own that has my full respect. That's a great story. Excellent job Brits.  SEALS have to write their own books! |

Nothing personal with SAS. They hardly covered themselves in glory in DS or in the Falklands. Ironically, I think the SBS to be much more professional and capable. Your preference for Limey SEALs over Limey Army is deliciously ironic.
As to the topic at hand it might be possible that a member of the SAS team got caught with an empty mag and bad guy at contact distance. Instead of transition to pistol he opted for transition to puddle and rock. Who knows? |

I am sure they just want to get back to the top of the movie making list. I do like the canadians carving out a niche of polite snipers shooting people at 3400 meters with a 50 cal. |

If true:
If only they had been issued a .308 general issue rifle....then they wouldn't have needed the puddle..... 
/sarcasm This is a prime example why 5.56 and its ability to carry loads of ammo is a great benefit to the soldier. |

Embellishment is hardly new but in the not so distant past our supposed allies were not so fond of portraying heroic acts in the war on ISIS. Possibly I read to much into the almost daily accounts of other than American soldiers do great and heroic deeds in the destruction of ISIS but then again everyone wants to be on the winning team. |

You might not know it but the SAS is nearly as good as the SEALs. When you can afford a fleet of special helicopters, ISR, worldwide commo with huge bandwidth, world class training centers...it makes a difference. When you can't, you do a lot of walking around in the mountains wearing a heavy ruck while talking about how real men use paper maps as your trainees die of heat stroke and you repeat "death is nature's way of telling you that you failed selection". It's not the quality of the people. It is having the money to select, train, retain, and deploy... Nobody spends what America spends. |

That being said Chris Kyle propaganda pretty much fits your description. We could add in Matt Bissonette and the Ginger SEAL on Fox that KIAed UBL. We could also add in CAG running Saddam and his psychotic spawn to ground. As a macro view there are probably not a bunch of movies made about professionals skillfully being professional. That is not to say subsets of the population don't "care" about pros doing pro stuff. |

There is a thread about once a month on the latest made up tale of SAS heroics in the war against IS. And all of it is shit you would see in crappy action movie. I'm fairly certain they just flat make shit up. But you can make money tell people things they want to believe. |

I, for one, was unaware that the UK papers had a habit of exaggerating the feats of SAS/SBS/whatever units. I don't pay a whole lot of attention to the UK press. I read them more lately since our domestic news coverage can be charitably described as dog shit. Too bad these recent stories of victory haven't been within their own country. |
