Ontario Diver once bubbled... British at Rorke's Drift
Isreali at the rescue in Uganda
Canadians at the Last Battle of Vimy Ridge
US Armour at Battle of 43 Easting
Both Sides at Stalingrad
Both sides at Stalingrad??? The Germans only had numbers...
My vote would be for the Russian.
Good call with the Canadians at Vimy, my grandfather was there. My vote would be the Spartans at Thermopile.
However, it doesn't matter what side you are on, all fighting men feel they are just, and will prevail. lets' hope we don't have another discussion of " the best of the 21st century"

SAS have pulled off some stunts in their time, i mean look at the cock up with bravo 2 zero.
dropped in the middle of the iraqi army.
the skynet frequency was set to the wrong frequency
it snowed for the first time in decades
the brits and yanks (military inteligence (?)) both messed up, but the unit kicked ass.
if you read andy mcnab's second book immediate action, there is a really funny bit:
they are doing their jungle training in south america and learning how to create a LZ.
there is a formula (rough) for how much pe/det cord (can't remember exactly now) to use.
any way they couldn't remember so they said p for plenty
when it came to setting it off their tree launched like a missile and cleared the rain forest canopy and they never found it, i remember wetting myself laughing when i read that.

LOL!
Every demolition type i ever met, was of a "more is better" mentality. Those guys are nuts and have more than their share of people nicknamed "stumpy" or "4-finger."
SimonN once bubbled... Has to be the British ar Rorke's Drift (Southern Africa).
139 Red Coats defeated 4000-6000 Zulu's (yes, they were throwing more than grass spears, they had guns captured from Isandlwana).
Not really a unit as such though.
almost right: the Zulus had old hunting rifles, Islandawana hadn't ended yet when Rorke's Drift was attcked, and the zulus attacking had been held in reserve and wanted to fight. The british were the 24th regiment afoot, B company stationed at Rorke's Drift, 22-23 January 1879. 11 victora crosses were awarded, the most for any single action, including one to Fred Hitch, the only london cab driver to ever win the VC
