NZ is more known of being a good place to live than having an elite army... Pick and choose your fights.

the British SAS is the most elite force in the world, Navy seals are number two...

first it was NZ now it is Britain?

i never said NZ SAS was the best i just said they are better then the US Marines who don't make the list because they aren't special forces by any definition

okay

Core

New Zealand’s SAS have been widely involved in combat operations in the Pacific region, and more recently in the war on terror in Afghanistan, where its “extraordinary heroism” earned it a rare United States Navy Presidential Unit Citation for combat actions in 2002. This occurred while serving as part of Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-SOUTH/Task Force K-BAR, between 17 October 2001, and 30 March 2002.

The NZSAS, like its Australian brethren traces its roots back to the British Commonwealth Long Range Desert Group and SAS in World War II. It formed on July 7th, 1955, and is the premier combat unit of New Zealand’s Defense Force. One that has earned a respected and professional reputation, from its many battles in the Malaya/Borneo insurgencies in the 1955 through multiple rotations during Vietnam, 1968-71, on up to Afghanistan in 2001-2005 and 2009-2011.

to be fair....nz has been part of wars from ww1/2 korean, gulf, etc up to current middle eastern conflicts..

just cause they dont go looking and start war doesnt mean they arent part of the elite...

Nobody here said they weren't part of the elite. He is claiming they are more elite than the United States which is roflcopter.
