Lol.. they both have a feminine side to them, dont they? A platoon of Marines would destroy an Army brigade within a couple of hours, a day max...
You are totally right about the public being mislead by the media believing the Seals are all-world. I love how they give the Seals all the glory, and don't tell what happened prior to the Seals successful missions, the Marines kia'ed 10,000 to clear the area for the Seals.
I was on the Kitty Hawk with the Seals, they did not even know how to drop a U-boat, so they could do their ops. lol...
Our record speaks for its self
I can't say enough about the two Marine divisions. If I use words like 'brilliant,' it would really be an under description of the absolutely superb job that they did in breaching the so-called 'impenetrable barrier.' It was a classic- absolutely classic- military breaching of a very very tough minefield, barbed wire, fire trenches-type barrier.
