S.A.S. feck!!!

[ELMO Owen]

I have to say,as i was soooooooo astounded by the tortures endured by the SAS on a program on telly during the week.
A group of SAS soldiers were captured during the gulf war.Big deal you may say,BUT in order to get info. from them,the opposing party BROKE ALL OF THEIR FINGERS and also PULLED THEIR TEEH OUT MANUALLY.
:eek: :eek: :eek:
Yet they still didn't talk!!!!!fvck me THAT is hard!!Did anyone else see it?

[Leon]

Although I don't know, I would suggest that it is quite difficult to talk with someone else's fingers gipping your molars...
;)

You sure that isn't an excuse to cover up a bout of scurvy?

I did not see the program itself, but I have read most of the real life stories from the gulf war.

The SAS, and the other non special forces guys that were captured are, in my mind real hard b*stards!

I have the ultimate respect for our armed forced. Especially the SAS who are undoubtedly the finest fighting force in the world.

I read one book by a downed Tornado pilot and he detailed a story of an American pilot having a bare electrical cable wrapped round his head and then having it plugged in! :eek:

Apparently it blew all his fillings clean out. The people who did that should be lined up and shot...in the feet and shins 1st..then in the stomach. Animals :mad:

In olden times, they used to make you eat bamboo shoots and then drink gallons of water - the bamboo would still grow inside you and would eventually work its way through the stomach.

Man is always thinking up new and interesting ways to torture fellow beings, whether it be from throwing Xtians to the lions or wrestling, man has to prove himself constantly. It's sick what can be thought of in our so-called "civilised" minds....

Are these stories titled "Bravo Two Zero" and "The One That Got Away"

If so, don't believe a word of them, they have apparently been filled up with stuff to make them sell. And if it was so true, the government would have banned them.

Those 2 books make Andy McNab and Chris Ryan out to be heroes. Mmmm doesn't matter if you're a failure now, you're still a hero. Bravo Two Zero was a failed mission.

Forgive me if I seem to be anti SAS, but there is more to our armed forces than the soddin SAS, but it's these guys who always seem to get the credit for everything - when more often than not, it is somebody else.

Now if you want Hard nuts, check out the Israelis. They don't even wait for an invite before storming an airport in a foreign country.

I have read those two, and while they were entertaining reads, I know what you mean.

I have also read a few of the lesser known ones about other operations, which I am more inclined to beleive.

Still, you have to give the SAS some credit. Even if its just for getting in there in the 1st place. The selection stories are not ******. That MUST be hard.

Now, where did i put my family size bag of Dorito's and my 20 B&H :D

I think they put the shoots under you, stratgically postitioned to grow right up you a$$, and if it didn't it could always be placed... Bamboo grows at appx 3cm/day...

The Royal Marines have just as hard a time in Training. There is a scottish lot, who are wll known to have skirmishes with the SAS ;) Guess who wins.

It is still generally accepted that the US Marines go through the toughest training regime - but that doesn't always churn out the best soldiers.

BTW a mate of mine in the RAF used to do exercises with "The Boys from Hereford" The RAF were under the strictest orders not to hurt the Herford Boys, yet the rules didn't work the opposite way.

If were talking about torture then the medaeival methods are by far the most gruesome. Try putting those words in a search engine. You will get some real sick stuff back, makes the Iraqies seem like Mother Theresa. Try this!!!!
