I am from the uk and I heard alot about retired SAS members rumors etc..
but most of the time it doesnt involve them saying they have been in the
SAS!

I know some guys in the Australian SAS and they are great. IT's a bit of
a boys' club to be sure, but that's part of the culture of being the top
soldiers in the forces I guess. They are the best we've got, on a par
with the British SAS, some of the finest in the world. They're not
really assault troops, AFAIK they do more of your kind of surveillance
and covert operations. One of them was in a music production course my
ex-girlfriend did, and one night they had to all say what they did for
a living. There were hair-dressers, office workers etc., then this guy
gets up and says he's a professional trained assassin or something


If the guy is really SAS then he should know better than to be stupid
enough to tell everyone what he did for a living. I work on the
principle that real SAS don't brag about it. It just makes them into
targets.
