        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?

              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".

                  The Marines have special forces...only ones not on there it seems.

                    Huh? The SEALS are on there and US Navy SEALS are the Marines special forces?

                      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 Marines are part of the Department of the Navy.

                                They sure do and their exclusion does seem a little odd. Perhaps they're committed elsewhere.
