Who has the best SAS in the world?

There are three SAS forces on the planet (Note SAS is different from Special Forces). The British, Australian and New Zealand SAS's. The British SAS is thought to be widely the best special forces in the world, although the Australian SAS has beaten the British on numerous training exercises. And the NZ's is not that incredible, just a small country's ordinary special forces unit.

Who is better Britain's SAS or Australia's SASR?

Both are elite forces, but Britain's SAS was the original special force. The Australian SASR is modeled after the British SAS, even sharing the same motto: "Who Dares Wins," but they also draw on the experience of WWII Australian special forces and commando's, particulary "Z Special Unit" also known as "Z Force". I'd think they'd be pretty even, but because the British SAS has been around longer, I'd say they have a slight edge on the Australian SASR.


Why did England not fight in Vietnam?

Prime Minister Harold Wilson was a very clever man who could see that Vietnam would be a disaster.He refused to allow any British troops to become involved. The British Army had enough on its plate at the time, Malaya, Cyprus, the Arabian Peninsula, Brunei, Borneo, Radfan, South Arabia, Malay Peninsula to name but a few. Units were sent from Britain to Fort Dix. At Fort Dix they "resigned from the British Army and re enlisted in the US Army. After completing their tour in Vietnam, the returning "G. I's" were discharged from US Forces and re enlisted in the British Army on their return to the UK. This mechanism allowed Harold Wilson, the British Prime Minister, to stand up in Parliament and announce "No British Troops are in Vietnam".Another ploy was for SAS men to be seconded to the Australian army,and enter Vietnam as Australian troops.The Aussies did this because they were defending the Mekong Delta,and knew that the South Vietnamese troops (ARVN) would run away if the Viet Cong attacked,and needed the SAS to plan escape routes for the outnumbered Aussies. Twenty-Two British Servicemen were killed in action in Vietnam.
