I'm voting USAF PJs. Their selection program has the highest dropout rate in the U.S. military (something like 90%). They all have to learn trauma aid as well as SF-style combat tactics, parachute insertion, FAC, combat swimming, etc. I don't think they get the same glory because their primary mission is saving lives as opposed to taking them- a sad observation about human nature.

The fact that they are not as well known as most other SOF of the world's major players also gives them some cool points, IMHO. In all of the T2K games I've played or lurked in (or the one I run), I've encountered PCs from just about every SOF on the poll list. I have never run across a USAF PJ. My next American PC will probably be a PJ.

For me, as far as "elite" status goes, the SEALs take second, followed by the SBS.

I've been really into Rangers since I was in the 6th grade. They may not be quite as "elite", but they are definitely just as cool.

Delta is too shadowy and I get the impression that they are CQB/hostage rescue specialists and not very well suited to operating in non-urban environments.

Spetznaz is pretty cool (and scary when I was a kid) but it seems that they invest too much training time into learning how to break bottles and 2x4s on their heads. Impressive or dumb? Hmm.
