Who's better sas or sbs?
The SBS are the navy's equivalent of the army's SAS (special air service regiment)they undergo exactly the same scheme of selection as the SAS, but continue long after with maritime training until they are accepted into the SBS.In my opinion this would make them better trained.The SBS also tend to have a higher level of fitness. How fit do you have to be to burst into a room and rescue hostages (SAS) compared to swimming a mile in rough seas at night to climb up an oil rig and rescue hostages (SBS)?In my opinion the SBS are better, but that doesn't mean I'm calling the SAS crap.
What year was iran hostage crisis?
The Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic crisis that lasted from November 4, 1979 until January 20, 1981. Members of the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line, a group of militant university students who were supported by the new Islamic regime, held 63 diplomats and three additional U.S. citizens hostage inside the American diplomatic mission in Tehran, Iran. Fifty two people, not including those who were released, were held hostage until the conclusion of the crisis. The United States attempted a rescue operation named Operation Eagle Claw. The operation failed, resulting in the deaths of five USAF Airmen and three US Marines. Some political scientists argue that the crisis was one of the primary reasons for U.S. President Jimmy Carter's defeat in the U.S. Presidential Election of 1980. The crisis reached its conclusion with the signing of the Algiers Accords. On January 20, 1981, the hostages were formally released into United States custody after spending 444 days in captivity. The release took place just minutes after Ronald Reagan was officially sworn in as president.In November of 1979 55 americans were taken hostage.They were kept for over a year.On January 20,1981 the hostages were released.It was the same day that Ronald Reagan became the 40th president of the United States.
