let's not argue here, fellas. no one man has been in the SEALS, USMC Recon / Sniper, and the SAS long enough to figure out which one is most awesome. they're all plenty damn good, but they do all sorts of different sh*t. FFS, recon and seals do a lot of the same training and sometimes their instructors cross-train.
and marine <i>SNIPERS</i>.. well.. sheeit, let's not even go there. all i'll say about that is "a dime at a grand".. hehe
and the SK 707th SMB.. i don't know a god damn thing about them. what was their last successful mission?

eep!
The 707th provided security for VIPs and for key facilities during the 1986 Asian Games and during the 1988 Olympics. At both events terrorist attacks were considered to be a real danger. In addition, the unit has reportedly seen extensive action against North Korean infiltraters, and according to several unconfirmed reports, they have also conducted multiple operations on the North Korean mainland.
Many people may not know but The two Koreas are still technically at war with each other. They only have a semi working cease fire. I say semi because over the past several decades,
it is a fact that North Korea has been sending in their own commando units and small naval vessels over the borders to infiltrate and spy on the south.
You can read about these episodes from time to time when they make the world news. Usualy when the north screws up and their people get killed or caught in the act by the south. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> And many reports state that the 707th has carried out many counter operations against these North korean inifiltration teams.
