There are no better or best. There is bragging among the membres of the various groups, but only in a joking way the way you would brag about your high school being better than another high schoool.\n\nThe two groups are both elite in their service, Special Forces in the Army of which I was once a member and the Navy Seals. \n\nThey are trained for two different missions, but both are highly trained units with lots of the latest weapons, escape and evasion techniques as well as languages of various regions.\n\nSpecial Forces are taught to jump from airplanes as well as helicopters to secure an objective,like airports, ammo dumps, political buildings, recapture prisioners. They also gather intelligence of ground troup strenght or an area. They might also be sent in to train the people from a certain country and set up groups to fight.\n\nSeals do the same but mostly in and around the sea or other water areas, though they might also find themselves on the ground doing a job also.\n\nSo to say that one is better than the other is not something that you can compare,since each are given different missions and goals to accomplich.\n\nA person should be proud if they are selected to become a member of either of these highly trained units. They are also opened up to women now. You must join the Army to become a memeber of Special Forces and the Navy to be selected to be a Navy Seal\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck

The marines are a more elite but smaller force. They most commonly are associated with the Navy because they are actually a part of the Navy. \n\nThe army is more of a "bulk packaged" soldier. They are called upon when a large force is needed.\n\nJust as the Army has the Green Berets special force unit, the Marines are a larger "special forces" unit.

The UFC guy. Why? Because the Navy SEALs actually spend very little time on hand to hand. Remember, the military assumes people have guns and knives. Even according to a marine combat instructor I know, the combatives program is actually meant until your buddy can show up to shoot them. Besides, knife fighting is still more emphasized than empty armed combat. That is not to say that a SEAL isn't a very good fighter, it just means the SEAL combatives program isn't very in-depth and detailed.

I think it is literally drilled into their head that their particular branch of the armed forces is better than the rest.  My father thought that the Navy was the best as he was in there for 10 years.  He left the Navy and went into the Air Force for 11 years and during that time the Air Force was the best.  I think it's just the military mentality.  But to me all of the branches of the military are great and the men and women who are in them serviing our country are even better!!\n\nBy the way, thank your husband for me for serving in the Marines and protecting our country!  And a big thanks to you for being by his side!! :o)

I think the British SAS. I've always had a sneaky admiration for the British armed forces. I think there has be too much hype about the capability ( real or imagined) of the American Delta Force. Moreover, this exaggerated belief has been accentuated by the movie industry. I consider the British SAS better disciplined and more tactical. My money is on the SAS.

It depends on the person. I would prefer Marine Recon, because I am a Marine. You should know that many of our special forces troops,soldies,sailors, and airmen, work in joint tasked missions. One SEAL team does not have the power of GOD, and there are many military people in the "rear" supporting their mission, don't be fooled by Hollywood movies.

Hey,\nI am a member of the United States Navy. This question should have a follow up question because it definitely depends on your preference. I am obviously going to go with the USN mostly because the Rates we offer transfer into the Civilian sector and most sailors can make a career coming out of the Navy. When you ask which branch is the toughest, its a very wide question because it all comes down to whether you mean physcially, which is trained more harsh than the other? We are all tough in our own ways. The SEALs are a very tough spec ops rank to achieve and overcome, they are trained mentally and physically to a high extreme. Also, Hooah is the Army's saying. Oorah is Marines and Hooyah is Navy.

Go to the SEAL forum at military.com and ask your questions there. But be ready to be harpooned. I think you'll find you've been watching too many movies. Being a Navy SEAL is quite honorable.

Navy Seals are the elite. One has to be intelligent, (get good grades in school, read and do well at math.) Have self confidence and high self esteem. Be incredibly physically fit. (That I can't emphasize enough!!!) And you HAVE to work very, very well with a team and of course be willing to die at any given moment. You make sacrifices like you wouldn't beleive. No wife, no kids. Good luck to you - stay smart - don't drink or mess around with drugs. Ever.

there is no best unit, each is good at doing one thing, the most fit are probably the seals(as in top notch) but each specializes in something that requires different skills, therefore each can triumph in certain situations.\nNever ask which unit in the military is the best, ask which is the best in a specific situation.\nHowever, i still like the seals the best(for elite units), they do do "warm up" in 40 degree water for a 2 mile swim. then laps around on the aircraft carrier and more swim etc.\nthe largest arm of the military is the Army, with around 500,000 combat personel.

“They will not be corpsmen anymore. They will be SEAL medics,” Breining said. “They will be wearing the SEAL rating badge. They will have a certification and qualification as a combat medic.”\n\nThat’s right, medic. It’s not just an Army term.\n\nAfter Oct. 1, new SEALs who entered the naval special warfare force as hospital corpsmen and SEALs who opt to become a corpsman no longer will attend “A” school at the Navy’s Corpsman School. Instead, their new “A” school will be the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL course in Coronado, Calif., where they would earn their warfare qualification as a SEAL. Those who attend and graduate the Special Operations Combat Medic Course, a seven-month course taught at Fort Bragg, N.C., will get the naval enlisted classification as a SEAL medic.\n\nSEAL medics will compete for advancement with other SEALs, as SOs. SEAL medics will be billeted by their NEC. \n\nThe change will give SEAL medics — hospital corpsmen — expanded opportunities as they advance in rank to lead and take on non-medical roles and responsibilities within their teams.\n\nNo you can't do surgical procedures. You're an actual SEAL. just working as a meds corpsman. \n\nBut after your time, if you plan on become a surgeon, the Navy will send you off to school to become one if you so desire.

I'm biased as well. Army!\n\n19 Delta Calvary Scout\nVeteran, Granada (yeah, old school!)\n\nWith that said, Marines are better suited for special applications like amphibious missions. Army Airborne is best for parachute drops. I perfer Air Assault, myself, coming in fast from low flying helicopters, dropping fast, and securing the area!\n\nAll have their missions and all have pride in them.

Well as we know the Americans have the man power,fire power and some of the best technology in the world.Britain also has some of the best technology in the world but it is a well known fact that the British military is better trained...i mean just look at the SAS,SBS,Commando's and the Para's,the Para's and the Commando's are classed as special forces now which means they are brilliant.Don't get me wrong the American special forces are great BUT everyone knows that the British are better trained.\n\nWhen the Americans deploy their troops they have their guns blazing because they are worried about having a modern day version of D-Day just in case there are troops ready for them.When the British deploy their troops they go so quietly that no one will ever know they were there.\n\nAfter the Cold War a Russian said they were going to nuke Britain because they didn't want to face British troops but they were going to face American troops because the Russian knew they could beat them.\n\nThe British military has higher standards then the American military and no disrespect to the Americans but the British are renowned for being better then the Americans and everybody else

Here are a few websites that outline what navy seals go through.
