The United States Navy S.E.A.L.s versus the Delta Force (Aka the Unit)
The rest are just fodder for them

The Delta Force of the US Military are NOT the most elite; even SAS soldiers (made up of the very best and the most desciplined of all soldiers; they come from Britain, Scotland, NZ, Canada and Australia) are better trained and more superior. In Israel, they too have their own special units as do the Russians and among the French Legion (whom are not all French by the way).

Um... I'm not sure where you got the idea that the SAS is made up of soldiers from different countries
Britain has it's own SAS branch (probably open to all of UK now). I'm pretty sure Australia has their own SAS group, unrelated to the UK. Canada has like three special forces groups, most elite being the JTF2.
Britian, Australia and NZ all have their branches of the SAS and I believe they do exchange tours from one to the other.

As for the French Legion, it's called the French Foreign Legion for a reason: they are traditionally a mercenary fighting force.
Mercenary means they are being paid by another country to do their fighting and i don't think the FFL fits that bill. Sorry.
