this is something that a lo of you don't know what makes special forces so effective isn't there brutal training well its part of it but its not the hole thing, the brutal training is just part of it. Aside from brutal training both Spetsnaz and SAS go under combat courses electronic bypass and stuff. Like here's a example of the difference between the 3 types of Seal training the Seals go through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy_SEAL_selection_and_training#Basic_Underwater_Demolition.2FSEAL_.28BUD.2FS.29ough. Now in the category of pain tolerance the Spetsnaz dominate in the category of skills and stuff the SAS dominate. I'm just saying that just because the Spetsnaz have the most brutal training on the planet doesn't make them the most highly trained on the planet.
