Well based on personal experience, I can whip 10 Seals, a dozen Marines and 10 Rangers. Not all at once tho.

Getting back to reality, I once saw an interview on TV of French Foreign Legion veteran who had been in a few fights. It always stuck in my mind that he said there wasn't a lot of difference between the various "elite" troops.

The Navy Seals certainly have the worlds best publicity people tho.

This was not always so and was more thrust upon them than sought. Back in the early '70s, the SEALS were a close kept secret. One of my training officers told us that the US would even disavow their existence if they were caught.

We squids always thought it was the Marines who had the best PR department!

As a 3rd ID vet, I'd have to say us.

Special Ops guys make movies, we make history :)
