Head to head, no holds barred, winner takes all who would win Navy Seals vs. Israeli IDF commandos?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) August 14th, 2011

As Special Forces commandos go, if fifteen Navy Seals went head-to-head against fifteen Israeli IDF (Israeli Defense Force) commandos, who would come out the victor, full weaponry and armament in play?

I know the answer – but I’m not telling.

The SAS would swoop in and kick everyone’s asses.

Are you kidding? Of course it’s their mothers in law.

@RareDenver
And then the KSK would eat the SAS for breakfast.

@ragingloli the KSK are the babies of SF. Also GSG 9 (circa 1970’s) gets my vote.

@ucme I’d completely forgotten about that video, so funny

ucme's avatar

Yeah they just about got away with it, being so hard & shit!

Depends on the terrain. I think the Navy Seals will kick ass vs the IDF underwater. However neither of these two excellent fighting units could win against this elite fighting force I’m training made up of Smurfs.

All I know is neither of them is tough enough to survive more than 3 hours with my MIL.

SEALS, and I’m not just saying that because I’m American.

As I bleed Red White and Blue, I would love to say Navy Seals, but those Israelis are some of the baddest M-F-ers that have ever walked the planet.

I’m going to go with “it would be a tie”.

I think all soldiers should incorporate dancing on the battlefield. Put away those silly guns & explosives & trip the light fantastic….you’ll live longer.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

Dancing is not in play, when it comes to combat possibly to the death, hip shaking is not really a plus.

Oooh, get her! Come on girls, let’s scratch her bleeding eyes out!!
Observe! ;¬}

@ucme haha love it

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard The edge would go to the Seals because…….better hand-to-hand fighting skill, better conditioning, better tactics, better arms, a combination of things? Why would 15 Seals have an edge over 15 Israeli IDF commandos?

Bottom line is the Navy Seals train the Shayetet 13 who train US Navy cooks who then train IDF! ;)

Any soldier asked to serve on either side is a God in my eyes!!

Bottom line is the Navy Seals train the Shayetet 13 who train US Navy cooks who then train IDF! Navy cooks are comandos or Special Forces?

Lightlyseared's avatar

Navy cooks are who you call when things are really screwed.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@Lightlyseared If the IDF was trained by that guy,—he can fight some, it is a wrap, and the Seals will mop up.—

And the winner is…. Seal Team Six of the Navy Seals. Why? Perception is everything – and the Israeli Commandos, also known as the Shayetet 13, keep everything secret.
