I really need to know more about this expression. It sounds like a military-oriented nickname that belongs with "snake-eater," "turd-chaser," and etc.
The term"Chicken stranglers" comes from the survival training the SAS specialise in. They train in catching,killing and preparing anything edible.
Hence,catch your chicken and strangle it!
And for those of us not military, what is SAS?
Sorry about that folks,the SAS is the Special Air Service,the elite Special forces of the British,Australian and New Zealand Armies. Like the US Navy SEALS and US Army Delta Force.
Thanks!
Good stuff. I learned something today.
Well I'd assume the British Special Air Service
That comment refers to the Australian SAS Regt.
The SAS Regt's of the British, Australian and New Zealand Armies are very similarly trained. They will have very slight differences in tactical standard operation procedures (SOP)
A good example is Patrol size, the British prefer 4 man patrols,2 pairs, very psychologically stable.
The Australian Army Training Team, Vietnam (AATTVN) advised the Australian SAS that 5 man patrols would be better. It can take 2 men to move a battle casualty and with a 4 man patrol, that would leave only 1 man to cover the patrol's withdrawal.
Very wise advice from the AATTVN.
I was drinking some Fosters with an Aussie there and he showed me his prize car he had in his garage. He showed me his guns he had and then pulled a pogo stick out. He said to me -- Now, I'll show you Yanks how we go 'roo hunting.
kek......that wasnt a joke was it....
you should see how they hunt crocs
I've never seen anyone who could shoot like that. Not to this day. ;)
Ah, got it. So, ed Zachary like "snake-eater."
Is "snake eater"a US special forces term?
Sounds like chicken chokers or maybe Chickenlover from South Park. 😂
Chicken stranglers.
In America, thats an easy sexual innuendo.
