[edit] SASR

Hello, what's your source for the statistic that the Australian SAS achieved a 500:1 kill ratio in Vietnam and the claim that some of its training fatalities are actually secret combat deaths? --Nick Dowling 07:50, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

See the article on the Australian involvement in the Vietnam war for the SAS kill ratio, it'll have a citation there. As for the secret combat deaths, well thats common knowledge, can't really cite that. Thankyou.

No, the statistic isn't cited at Military history of Australia during the Vietnam War either (it does have a citation needed flag though). From memory, David Horner's book on the SAS states that deaths in training were just that and doesn't suggest otherwise. --Nick Dowling 07:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I found a book about the ANZAC involvement in the Vietnam war, by Richard Pelvin. He states that the SAS during their time in Vietnam had 492 confirmed kills for 2 KIA. Goldfishsoldier 02:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
