thankfully there are people dedicated to better things aswell.
Focus:
Which special forces are considered the best of the best? Is it the Delta? or perhaps the DEVGRU?
Who do the people in the army/navy/air force/marines look up to most?
There really is no one clear 'best of the best' jack of all trades super-human hero squad. Each is kinda specialized for what they do. Army Rangers think they're the best, they jump out of planes and take airfields, primarily. USAF combat controllers have very specific jobs as well. Delta Force, those guys are more like CIA operatives, more often that not, with long hair & wearing civilian clothes (it's not all commando stuff like in the computer games). They're definitely combat oriented, but also biased towards the intel/counter-intel side of things.
Navy SEALS, those guys are probably your best jack-of-all-trades. If this was "Mission Impossible", you'd probably want to send a SEAL team, if you didn't have Tom Cruise, to get the job done.
But, as far as who is the biggest hard-@ss, grunt, commando, wouldn't-wanna-meet-in-an-alley, I know my choice.
Put it this way... if I was to lead a platoon of men, into the outback of Australia, or the Amazon, Congo, makes no difference, and we were to go up against an equal number of men, and the 'game' was, a hunter-killer mission to track the other guys down, engage them, and fight to the death... the last group I'd want to have to face as my enemy is the Marine Force Recon.
When it comes down to a 'Rambo'-type scenario, where it's just you, the jungle, guns and ammo, and hunting down the enemy like an animal and wasting him, I'm sorry, but I'd fear the Marines most. They're just more psychotic, when it really comes down to it. "Masters of chaos", as a German general in WWI said of them.
I've served with the Army and Marines, so, I feel I have some authoritah on the subject. They Army does their job. But, they don't do it with the bloodthirsty eye of the tiger like the Marines do. Going from the Marines, to the Army, I felt like I was in a civilian environment. And Air Force... they really are a corporation, more than a branch of service (but, I appreciate their role, and if I could do it all over again...)
Basically, you know that spirit of wicked fury and unrelenting warpath from Hell of say... the Comanche tribe? Pure warrior spirit. That fighting spirit is most alive in the Marine Corps, more so than the other branches, that's for sure. That's why they'd be the last ones I'd choose to fight, if I could pick my opponent amongst the U.S. forces. People from rural areas all over the country that want "ta kill somethin'" join the Marines. Thus, their ranks are filled with a bunch of crazies. Typical Army recruit, is a minority from a large urban area, that is joining because they have no better way to move up in life. Not the case for all, but that's the general idea/prevailing case. You tell me who's gonna 'make the most' of a situation, in the heat of the moment in combat.
I mean think about it... what kind of person joins the Marines, in the first place... something's GOT to be wrong with them...
.
" -bone in your body, just don't join up in the first place for crying out loud.
