A promise is a debt. I promised to present a list of
world’s top Special Forces. I hereby present a list of ten of the best elite
squads. You are going to learn military msamiati,
grab a notepad and refresh the page. Disclaimer: I have not listed the
squads in any order.
10. Spetsnaz
This is Russia’s Special Purpose Regiments. They endure punishment
daily throughout their training because they want only the best, pain-hardened,
battle-loving killers.
They spar with the express goal of
injuring each other, breaking ribs, fingers, vertebrae, healing only long
enough to get back on their feet and complete the training. They are typically
deployed for reconnaissance or house-to-house close quarters combat, but are
also employed as extremely formidable bodyguards for high-ranking politicians.
They consist of 6 units. Each unit
is trained for special tasks, whether combat diving, close quarters sea combat,
exfiltration, canine units, or long range fire support, including snipers and
missile launchers.
This is the U. S. Marine Corps
Forces Special Operations Command. Currently, only men are allowed to join, for
obvious reasons. Where are feminists? The primary missions of MARSOC are
special reconnaissance, direct action, and internal defense within foreign
nations.
They are trained to make fire by
friction, fire by mirrors, even fire by ice, depending on the location to which
they are deployed. You mold the ice with the heat of your hands into the shape
of a lens, which works just like a magnifying glass. Now, that is fascinating.
The closest thing to James Bond can
be found in the personnel of the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service, or Security
Service, section 6. It works in close partnership with section 5 (MI-5), the
latter which is more of a pure spy agency, dedicated to counter-intelligence
and counter-espionage.
MI-6, however, is the unit which
deploys its agents all over the world to detect international intelligence threats
and “neutralize” them before they become truly dangerous.
5. U.S Army Green Berets
That’s their nickname. Technically they are the U. S. Army Special Forces.
These guys are experts in infiltrating a hostile area in anticipation of a
large-scale military engagement. They have carried serious missions in South
Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, among others.They are best in sniping and throat cutting.
4. The
Delta Force
The only official United States
counter-terrorism unit, dedicated to hostage rescues, counter-insurgency, and
general counter-terrorism. Their full name is 1st Special Forces Operational
Detachment-Delta, managed by the Army.
If you have watched Nikita, the
series, you may have an idea of what it means for psychologists like Amandato conduct a grueling battery of
mental exams on the recruit to try to break him/her into confusion.
2. British SAS
The Special Air Service is trained by MI-5 and MI-6 for in-depth
counter-espionage. Physical competency must be nothing
but excellent. They are trained in knife fighting by experts in Apache Indian
knife techniques.
1. Navy SEALs
Raided and killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. You might think there are a
lot of them, given the number of action movies dedicated to the plot device of
an invincible warrior, but there are only about 2,000 of them. They are the
United States’ most elite special warfare combatants. These guys can do at
least 42 push-ups in 2 minutes! Navy SEALs have the distinction of being the
model on which almost all national commando units are based today, including
every other entry on this list.I believe that one day; our Special Forces will rise from the ashes like the Phoenix and be hailed the worlds’ best, or among the best. That is after my children’s children die.
Dr. PLO Lumumba once said: “The tiger does not boast
about its tigritude, but when you see the skeleton of an antelope, you
know that some tigritude has taken place.”
And that is my submission....
