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

Can a mod please delete this thread?

It was completely stupid of me to even think about this in the first place. Your service is honorable and appreciated, no matter what stripes or uniform you wear, regardless of whether or not you've seen combat!

I sincerely apologize to any and all servicemen/servicewomen who have been offended by the content of this thread.

OK, I think I've seen enough... This was a thread I now regret making.

Any Mods (Or Kes if he's wandering around somewhere :P ) that sees this has my permission to lock/delete/erase this ill-advised thread.

As long as they have your permission

Depends on mission package. Both are good at what they do and both are part of the special operations command. Btw Rangers usually work closely with Seals and other special operations groups as their qrf and to add bulk to certain missions. In a fight who wins I don't know.

It lives.

Best thread ever, laughed at it a few years ago the first time I read it, it's more funny now though for some reason.

OP, just, "...smile and wave boys, smile and wave."

I think a better question is how either would stack up against Spetsnaz, especially since the Spetsnaz can defeat Green Berets

Really coolguy...Reeeeaaallllllly?? In their f@ck1ng dreams!!! SpitnAzz are too stupid...by the time they stop doing flips and practicing the unstoppable str33t-deadly syst3ma, figure out what's happening, and punching each other, they'd be dead...and the sad thing is that we'd recruit and train their own countrymen in their own back yard, train them to fight for themselves and make it look like we weren't even there. We'd give the credit to the Chechen rebels and grab some popcorn, let them all off each other and watch it all unfold on Fox News in the TOC. So ya...in their f@cking dreams!

After the smoke clears, POTUS would get on TV and condemn it all. Lol

Lol Fr@CK SpitnAzz! Go back to CoD...

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.

Marines RECON or simply Marine infantry. Only problem with SEALS and Army is their weak *** basic. Marines have a lower drop cuzz they already hard.

Do you really think a regular marine is more elite than a ranger? It never ceases to amaze me how marines just run around with their arrogance - that one "marine NCO" guy said that you can just be at Ranger Bat and you just get a tab. No. If you fail Ranger School, you get RFS'd and you're in a black beret the next day. At least do your homework before you disparage people who have done more than you. Saw plenty of marines quit Ranger school. From the sands of Iwo Jima back to a nice warm bed, I guess. It's really surprising because you only deploy for 6 months - seems like you'd have plenty of time to at least learn about the people you think the elite Marine Corps Boot Camp made you superior to.

I remember when the best stories I had came from training, heh.

one last thing: I'm all for esprit de corps, but if you want to be competitive at least be competitive and GO to Ranger School instead of just disparaging it. I doubt you'd enjoy it.

This is silly...its comparing ARs to AKs...different situations call for different tools...
