🪂 "SAS: Rogue Heroes" - The Birth of the SAS: Steal, Sabotage, and a £100 Bet 🔥💰 A general enters the room. No one salutes. The man in charge explains why. "You don't salute when a general enters a room. In my detachment, there will be a respectful disregard for form and ritual." The general is confused. "How the bloody hell did you get in here?" The response is calm, confident, and utterly mad. "I'm not asking for anything other than permission and 60 men." The general scoffs. "We have no vehicles, equipment, or weapons to spare for some wild experiment." The man smiles. "We would steal everything we need, sir." The general is stunned. "Steal from where?" The man's voice is steady. "We would steal weapons and equipment from the Allied troops. We would set up our base behind enemy lines. We would report to no one and require nothing." Then he makes a bet. "And as a gentleman, I will wager with you both: £100 that within six months, we will destroy more enemy airplanes on the ground than the RAF will destroy in the air." The general stares. "So a mysterious new parachute regiment appears from nowhere, operating out of East Libya. Stirling, do you have a name for your outfit?" Stirling pauses. "No, I don't." Another man speaks up. "Oddly enough, we do. The SAS." This is the moment the world's most legendary special forces unit was born—out of theft, insanity, and a ridiculous bet. ⚡ UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS: The no salute: "A respectful disregard for form and ritual." 🚫 The request: "Permission and 60 men." 🗣️ The steal: "We would steal everything we need." 🦹 The base: "Behind enemy lines. Report to no one." 🏜️ The bet: "£100. More enemy planes on the ground than the RAF in the air." 💰 The name: "Oddly enough, we do. The SAS." 🎖️ "Some units follow orders.

FunFact: In the British military we do not salute anyone without a headcovering or if we are not wearing a headcovering. Poor from an otherwise excellent film.
The sassiest leader calls his regiment the SAS lol
He bet about 6500 USD today each.
Super. Army. Soldiers.
Popski would like a word...
Dammit McNulty
At the time of the birth of the SAS, didn't we have a competing regiment in the commando's,
The word "airplanes" would not come out of the mouth of a British officer.
I think the officer's ribbons are on the wrong side of the uniform on the right should be on the left ?
And so a legend was born
Long Range Desert Group actually
I stay a short distance from the Stirling monument for him every time I go past I pay my respect to him by saluting 🏴 ,
The only branch i know that salutes without a cover and especially inside is the us army. Never understood why. The navy in doors covers come off for eight points and and nsu covers. Ball caps are on though.
As a Spaniard, I’ve always had this conflicting admiration for the Brits. But as an honorable man I must say, what a fucking nation it’s been all throughout. I really wish we could bring this kind of men back in Europe.
Fire breathing rubber duckies would’ve been cooler, but I suppose SAS works
Where’s Blair’s yellow washing up glove?
We will never know the true extent of their bravery behind enemy lines, I salute them and thank them for their sacrifice!
In the War Zone…No One Salutes knowing They are Officers Or Higher Ups …Never Expose Your Leading Officers to the Enemy!
Special Army soldiers
Steal And Sabotage.
