Marines, train for amphibious fights, we like water not sand and rocks. The general Marine, even the grunt, is far below Royal Marine in combat training. It's like looking at our Army vs. our Marines, a huge ass difference.

But once you move into the Marine special forces, like SRT, you get groups just as small, just as trained, and better at the 'specialty' they are trained in than the Royal Marines.

But to be fair, the Royal Marines ARE a special forces combat team. I'm pretty sure you don't start as a Royal Marine, you are selected to become one.

Our SRT, Seals, ect teams totally rock the Royal Marines, in the specialized fields that they are trained in. That's the difference between our forces, and them.
