    Army Rangers vs Navy SEALs: Who would win in a one-on-one or squad-based fight?

    As some of you may know, I will be enlisting in the Army by 2014 (When I am around 23-24), I am actively changing my diet and exercise routine so that I will be prepared for BCT.

    But that aside...

    I have been thinking about this match-up for quite a while, and I was surprised that the TV show "Deadliest Warrior" didn't do such a match-up on them head-to-head(They did the Rangers and SEALs against separate fighters though). And while I highly doubt the show's accuracy when it came to statistics and techniques, it definitely got me thinking...

    If the US Army Rangers were to go up against the US Navy SEALs in either a one-on-one or squad-based fight in which there were almost no restrictions as to what weapons, vehicles, or equipment that could be deployed. The only exceptions are heavy armor (M1A2 tanks, light armor such as the Bradley is OK), fast-mover support (Jets) bona-fide WMDs (Nukes, ICBMs etc. the big stuff).

    Who would come out on top? Or would it be too close to call considering they are both Special Operations groups and pretty much have equal training and adaptability?

    Both can operate on any terrain, any body of water, any airspace (Though the SEALs are heavily water based as far as their training goes from what I've seen).

    Both can deploy within a very short period of time to almost any location on the planet.

    Both are 2 of the finest groups of warriors this world will ever know.

        since they use or have access to the same weapons it would come down to training. Since they are both the best of the best.....it'd be a toss up.

        the real winner would be the terrorists for pitting our armed forces against each other.....

        Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

              No offense, but this is just as dumb as that Deadliest Warrior episode.

              There's no real way of telling since every individual will vary. No amount of training in the world can guarantee victory. If that was the case, then we would not have operators getting killed by lets say.... a taliban opposition(who has less sophisticated training).

              Remember that movie "The Rock" with Sean Connery and Nick Cage? The scene where the seals were below ground and the Marines had the elevation. Since SEALS is a specialty group and lets just say that their Marine opposition were just regular infantry, then the SEALs have the advantage. But it didn't end up that way, the Marines had the advantage by having the higher ground and they capitalized on it, taking out every member of that SEAL team.. Its a ridiculous example, I know but I hope that gives you an idea of just because the training is superior, it will not guarantee victory all of the time.

              For a combat soldier, the difference between success and failure is your ability to adapt to your enemy. The people that we deal with, they don't care about the rules. All they care about is a result. My job is to stop them from completing their objective, at all costs.

                      My answer would be the Marines. We trained in Coronado with the SEAL instructors on the boat package, we trained in South Korea in mountain warfare/rappelling package, we conducted GAIT training in Okinawa preparing for Lebanon, Bridgeport and Alaska coldweather package, lots of water training and helo casting in Hawaii and desert training 29 Palms when middle east became important. Therefore, we were versatile just due to the units I was stationed with, no "specialty group" even though I was assigned to Joint Special Operation Commands with all military branches "Special Forces". As far as the Army Rangers and Navy SEALs it would come down to intel.

                            I thought it was the Rangers who were top of the line in the Army? GBs a close second?

                              Jeez, that's easy....Ventura.

                              Chuck Norris has never carried a mini-gun (not to mention graduating from BUD/S).
