Chi osera ci sincere? If it's italian it should surely be 'Chi osera ci vincera' Jigsawpuzzleman 20:59, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Chi osera ci sincere

I don't think that this really means something :D . In italian should be "Chi osa vince", french "Qui ose gagne". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sstone (talk • contribs)

[edit] Origin

If anyone knows the origin of this phrase, I'd like to know it and I think it would fit in the article. Did the British SAS make it up? Brad T. Cordeiro

--Luyckxj 12:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC) The adage 'Who dares, wins !' is since 1944 the motto of the Belgian 1st Battalion Parachutists (see Home Page Belgian 1st Battalion Parachutists, Dutch Language and Beret Mark of the Belgian 1st Battalion Parachutists), which took over the traditions of the "D (parachute) Company 2nd Battalion Belgian Fuseliers" erected in England during WO II, being the Belgian Squadron of the Britisch SAS Brigade.

It was the Scottisch Lieutenant David Stirling (later Sir David Stirling) who not only proposed the motto for the Britisch SAS, but certainly also acted accordingly to it (see also Personality Profile of Sir David Stirling)

(Correction suggested by Johan G.A. LUYCKX, Reserve Major of the Belgian Air Force)

--Luyckxj 19:55, 4 May 2007 (UTC) The French 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment indeed inherited the traditions and adage "Who dares, wins !"/"Qui ose, gagne !", but the 2nd Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment, created later, bears the device "Ne pas subir !"/"Never tolerate !"

[edit] Irrelivance of Metal Gear Solid 2 trivia

I think the MGS2 trivia section is irrelivant. The phrase "Who Dares Wins" was quoted due it being the SAS motto - Snake quoted various military groups' mottos whilst using the pseudonym "Iriquois Pliskin" (an obvious reference to Escape from New York) including "Semper fi" from the US Marine Corps.

I'll remove it if nobody disagrees.
