The Marines have been America's Special Forces since the begining of this nation.
Let the Naysayers break out the History books, and read of the Commando raid on Bermuda By the first Commandant.
The attack was so swift and overwhelming that the British literly got caught with their pants down around their ankles
And the Marines have been doing it ever since, Lt Presley O'Bannon Marched his Marines through 600 miles of the Sahara to capture a fort on "the shores of Tripoli",
The reason he did so President Jefferson sent him to stop the Barbary Pirates from terrorising American shipping.
Before the Green Berets, Delta, and the Seals, there were the Marine Raiders, which was disbanded because it couldn't do anymore than the average marine unit.
I known I am going to catch flak for that one but the reason does not have a special forces unit in it, is that by their actions Marines have always proven that they are America's premier go any where do anything force.
I'm rambling instead of reading again, Semper Fi out
