those Brits are tough

[Shadow Reaper]

Anyone see the news about the British SAS Sergeant to did in 6 Taliban in a black tunnel, three of them with a claw hammer? Note to self: do not piss off any SAS Sergeants, especially in close proximity to home improvement tools.

Sign that guy up for boarding parties, please.

1 v 6 wasn't very fair odds though. He should have waited till they had at least a dozen before he started :)

That made me think of this joke..

A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune....

"One Texas soldier is better than ten Taliban"

The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune, whereupon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes then silence.

The voice then calls out..... "One Texan is better than one hundred Taliban"

Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gunfight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.

The Texan's voice calls out again.... "One Texan is better than one thousand Taliban"

The enraged Taliban commander musters one thousand fighters and sends them across the dune. Cannons, rockets and machine gun fire ring out as a huge battle is fought. Then silence.

Eventually one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander.....

"Don't send any more men....it's a trap....there's two of them"

The SAS is a very serious group.
Thank God they exist.

 

[Printimus]

wow

 

[Crymsan]

The only issue with the SAS is that they are at the beck and call of British politicians. This is not such a great group.

 

[Shadow Reaper]

You gotta respect a guy who goes to battle with a hammer. Its a shame the Brits don't arm their guys better, though. Imagine how many enemy might have fallen had they given this guy a box of nails to go with.

 

[Bambooza]

Id think the nails would slow them down.

Oh come on, he's only SAS not like he's JTF2. The only way you know those guys were around is everyone is dead and there's a subtle smell of maple syrup in the area. ;)

Bourne?

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

Bourne?

He might have been from Bourne but with skills like that he was probably from Boston.

 

[Crichten]

He was probably in a bad mood as he was most likely drinking a nice brew, when he realised the Afghans were refusing to chase the enemy down. He obviously had to rush his tea and not savour it, standing up with a clear and audible "RIGHT" and announcing "Fuck it then, suppose ill bloody go and do it myself you fucking bunch of wankers."
Therefore with Tea wasted.... Bad MEN MUST DIE.

 

[Bambooza]

Tea wasted

Don't you treat tea almost as fanatically as beer? And wouldn't he just hold the tea in one hand while doing all this with the other?

Wouldn't want to risk spilling it... I have amended the original quote acknowledging that he would throw it away.

Need to spend the extra money and buy the guy a Ballpeen hammer, He would have killed 12

The lads from the Hill do have quite the reputation. And the best maple syrup. Haha

That's impressive. Everyone talks about the seals and forgets that there are plenty of other countries out there with that special sort of badasses. The US does not hold a monopoly on toughness. We do hold a monopoly on Clint Eastwood though. Which is the first thing I thought about when I read the story...

EDIT: Dude, I just noticed that the little wannabe that Clint insults at the end of the scene is his actual real life son...
