Which Special Forces unit would you want to rescue you. Who if there name was mentioned would install the most relief in you. Who do you think would give you the best chance of survival?
For me its the SAS every time. I would know i was getting out alive and something really bad was about to happen to the kidnappers.

I agree with you the SAS is probably the best group for a hostage rescue situation on any scale but particularly a small scale. I think the US Navy Seals would be an excellent choice as well. They both are given the best training in the world and are devoted to what they do beyond compare. I do think the Seals are a bit more dedicated to ensuring destruction on their targets, mainly because of the their love for explosives.
Your other questions a a bit vague for me so I cannot answer them sorry.

Personally I would be eternally grateful to which ever spec ops team or regular Army or Marine unit rescued my butt.
I'll tell you one thing however. During the 18 months I spent in Iraq as a civilian contractor with the DoD it was almost a universal consensus among the civilians that we would rather go down fighting rather than being taken captive. As excellent as all the SF groups are the odds of escape or rescue are thin. And none of us wanted to put our families through the agony of waiting for some fanatical Islamic group to release a video of us being killed...especially the way Nick Berg was.

I am thinking I might prefer the Germans. GSG 9 in particular. They have tons of experience and are quite good. I do not want the FBI involved in any way though. I'd accept SEALS, Delta, SAS or even Marine MEU (SOC) or Rangers if need be.

Australian or UK SAS first time everytime. If not then SEALS are the next best bet.

I would call the SOB's mom - bc she probably would have the most influence over him. I'm broke, he wouldn't get much money out of me.

When my rescuers arrive, they will find I have not been without resources, as at least one of my captors will be found dead at my feet.
