Except for the critical failing that they are drawn from Americans. I think we have already established Americans are estrogen filled girly men that enjoy pansy sports. How tough can the soldiers be?Originally posted by Al B. Sure! View Post

I have a book with the title "The Ghurkas: The World's Most Feared Soldiers". That is not without reason...they well earned their reputation.
But honestly, I don't think it's possible to really compare all these elite units. If you had a death match between the world's most elite units, they would ensure each others mutual destruction.

As stated in your own quote, those are all special forces units. The US marines are not "special forces".Originally posted by Asher View PostApparently about 40 JTF2ers got the Presidential Unit Citation in Afghanistan. How many foreign soldiers get those in general?
Edit: Looks like everyone but the Marines got it.

Oh wow.
So in the US the Marines aren't part of the Navy!!
In the UK, Royal Marines are part of the Navy. I guess I assumed it was the same. So Marines can't become SEALS.

I think technically the Marines are part of the Navy, just not really..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

They sure do and their exclusion does seem a little odd. Perhaps they're committed elsewhere.Originally posted by Asher View PostThe Marines have special forces...only ones not on there it seems.
