The
motto of the
British Special Air Service, more commonly known as
The
SAS, the élite
fighting unit of the British Army and one of the
first tactical
special forces units formed in the world.
Perhaps equally famously, at least in the UK, the motto was adopted by
David Jason's character Del Boy in the BBC comedy series
Only Fools And Horses. In my mind, when I hear this motto
I'm more likely to think of Del Boy taking a cigar out his mouth and saying
"He who dares wins, Rodney" then I am of commandos running around Ulster or
Iraq.
