Thanks for the info on the C8 Redkite :) and yes there are only about 400 US Marine Recon enlisted and officers, so i believe entering their ranks would be just as difficult as entering the SAS. However I will admit the SAS as whole have more experience then any other force in the world and their training may be a tad bit superior. Also the Black Operation X-factor dosnt mean they are prepared any less then their oppenant, it just means there intent is to kill and take no prisoners. The whole leadership thing is a toss up though, from what ive read and heard from several U.S. Marines is they tend to display more leadership in their team then most U.S. soilders would, although i wouldnt be suprised if the SAS displayed leadership like that of the marines, i have never had the honor of talking to a member of the british armed services.
