| IDF Commandos Face Off Against US Navy SEALs on TV |
| 2010-07-27 |
| Place your bets... An American television program pits the Navy SEALs against Israeli commandos this week in the season finale of Spike TV's “Deadliest Warrior.” The program, now ending its second season, features warriors from two different sides, faced off against each other in various scenarios. “We thought it would be a great finale because both are so iconic,” said executive producer Gary Tarpinian. “They are among the greatest soldiers in the world.” Tarpinian would not give away the ending, but said, “this was maybe the closest battle we've ever had.” Although the program is scheduled to air July 27 on the Spike TV network, it is posted and available to viewers on the Internet only within the United States and Canada. |

| #6 Hey, the SEALs won! Maybe the show has some credibility after all . . . . :-) I'm sure we have lots to learn from each other, but it seems to me that Krav Maga is the deadlier form, but hopefully the warrior would never have to use it. |

| #5 Anything past the loose background and equipment section is goofy. |

| #3 "They are among the greatest soldiers in the world." Ought to be left there but this is the stuff of Hollywood, entertainment, glitz and ratings. |

| #2 Oh, it's fun. My 12 year old loves it. It does give some background on historical warriors. He's partial to the Spartans. other match ups include - Taliban vs. the IRA - Comanche vs. Mongols - Samurai vs. Ninja - Pirates vs. Ninja (kidding on this one) Fun show, just don't take it seriously. |

| #1 Deadly Warriors is one of the most absurd shows on television. The program does not take into account a myriad of variables encountered in combat. |
