Tarana, age 12, stands screaming, surrounded by the bodies of men, women and children who were just killed by a suicide bomber who detonated a bomb during a religious ceremony in Kabul on December 6, 2011. "When I could stand up, I saw that everybody was around me on the ground, really bloody. I was really, really scared," said the girl, whose name means "melody" in English. Out of 17 women and children from her family who went to a riverside shrine in Kabul that day to mark the Shiite holy day of Ashura, seven died including her seven-year-old brother Shoaib. More than 70 people lost their lives in all, and at least nine other members of Tarana's family were wounded. The blast has prompted fears that Afghanistan could see the sort of sectarian violence that has pitched Shiite against Sunni Muslims in Iraq and Pakistan. (Massoud Hossaini/AFP/Getty Images) #

They have - by a very wide margin - the largest amount of operational experience and are the model/foster figures for the large majority of SF units in the world (including Delta Force, polish GROM and german KSK). So, yes, if you had to use such a ridiculous title, then the british SAS would be the most deserving of it.
P.S the picture you posted if of GSG9, who are a federal police unit. They are not special forces, they do not conduct land warfare or clandestine operations behind enemy lines. They are comparable with the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team.
again, not the place to argue about special forces, we'll never know who is superior unless they actually go head to head.
Anyone have any pictures of WWII era bombers?
