I would imagine that the SAS Counter Revolutionary members that operated in Northern Ireland in the old day enjoy anonymity a great deal.
I read an interview once of a SAS man that did that he talked about getting through a road block by shooting the IRA men manning they where searching every car so the only option was deadly force each SAS member shot a guard and they drove on and that was just the start.In that case they are dressed as civilians so capture means certain death.
In the UK if I had been a part of any elite pain in the side to AQ or the Taliban unit I would not want to be known because they can get to you in England maybe even the US if they really wanted to.
