50 Marines maybe, but SEALs usually operate a bit more operationally agile - fast and lethal.
Why use a Chinook to do a quick strike rescue? Too big of a slow moving, loud target. One lucky RPG shot takes out a lot of valuable assets.

because blackhawks dont carry a platoon at once and SEALS do go in larger groups sometimes, one to secure an area, one to insert

"Why use a Chinook to do a quick strike rescue? Too big of a slow moving, loud target." I'm pretty sure the Chinook is one of our fastest military helicopters.
