Despite being outnumbered five to one, they suffered only three minor wounds in the hand-to-hand fighting near the city of Amara. The battle erupted after Land Rovers carrying 20 Argylls came under attack on a highway. After radioing for back-up, they fixed bayonets and charged at 100 rebels using tactics learned in drills. When the fighting ended bodies lay all over the highway ? and more were floating in a nearby river. Nine rebels were captured."
The SAS are far tougher than this unit of regular British infantry.

This a contest?
Hard to say Hooligan - prob depends a lot on the individuals with a unit.
BTW.. Not sure if that's what you are saying, but the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders are not an SAS unit. My father-in-law was the RSM. If you are familiar - you may remember Colonel Mitchell (Mad Mitch)?
Both amazing honourable men and part of the "old school" military.
