SAS Soldiers Deploy Into Enemy Territory

On 21st January 1991, eight members of the British SAS squadron Bravo Two Zero under the command of Sergeant Andy McNab are airlifted to northwestern Iraq.
“The whole regiments effort was focused on stopping the scuds firing into Israel,” according to McNab. “The problem was there was no information; very little mapping and no satellite imagery of the area.” That lack of information would prove to be Bravo Two Zero’s undoing.
NB:
Winston Churchill arranged for the British Special Forces to start & train the American Special Forces during WWII.
During one particular op, the Americans that were held in an Iraqi prison were tortured and revealed where some of the British SAS were hiding.
Some were captured, tortured, but never broke to disclose the whereabouts of their team mates.
After much negotiation they were released a long time later.
The British SAS normally NEVER disclose their identity nor speak to the press. But they were so incensed by what happened to them that they did.
They announced they would NEVER work with the Americans again.
The British SAS are still the best in the world.
God Bless ALL military members around the world, they are incredibly brave people...
