But again its not a fair comparison. The SAS and Royal Marines are so fewer in number and trained for all terrain and conditions and trained to survive in extreeme conditions against unfair odds, often undetected. The US Marines training is totally different, and they aren't typically used or suited to what the SAS and Royal Marines were designed to do. Doesn't the US have a different name for their covert ops etite forces ?
