The Finnish won the winter war because the Soviets at the time were woefully incompetant and they had all the advantages other than numbers, supplies and armour. They weren't super soldiers.

Yeah, the soviets lost because of Stalin's purge in 1937
[quote]The Soviet forces had three times as many soldiers as the Finns, 30 times as many aircraft, and a hundred times as many tanks. The Red Army, however, had been crippled by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin's Great Purge of 1937, reducing the army's morale and efficiency shortly before the outbreak of the fighting.[20] With more than 30,000 of its army officers executed or imprisoned, including most of those of the highest ranks, the Red Army in 1939 had many inexperienced senior officers.[21][22] Because of these factors, and high commitment and morale in the Finnish forces, Finland was able to resist the Soviet invasion for far longer than the Soviets expected.[22][/quote]
and in 1941 the soviets attacked finland and won

No, the finns lost it.
They defeated the Russians and achieved their military objectives, until a point which is considered after it.

Plus I like their, "We're not taking your shit attitude." I remember in this video of their raid on the embassy in 1970's and they were evacuating the hostages until one terrorist came running at them with a grenade. They put 76 rounds into him iirc.

Not really. Whenever I hear foreigners (like Yanks) talking about special forces, the SAS almost always crop up rather than the SASR.
That said, I see the SASR to be an Australian extension of the SAS - so I consider them to be as good as, or at least not far behind, the SAS.
