Who is deadlier marines or navy seals?

Answer 1

They are different compare marsoc to seals then you are talkin USMC special ops and navy marines spec. ops have three years of training after their boot which is harder then any others plus combat diver and parachute men and a whole eight year commitment before you can train for marines recon and force recon

(THE MARSOC MARINES AND SEALS ARE BOTH EQUIVALENT DONT BELIEVE ME JOIN THEM BOTH HARD) I'd SAY MARINES IN MARSOC SINCE THEY HAVE MORE HAND TO HAND TRAINING IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT A FIGHT.

The NAVY SEALS are the most elite, multifaceted, fighting force in the World. Boot Camp does not make them this way, it is the two years of intense training that follows Boot Camp that creates the warrior. Unlike the Marines who go through 13 weeks of Boot Camp. Don't get me wrong, the USMC Boot Camp is very difficult, but in honesty would only equal one week for the NAVY SEALS rigorous training, but if all else fails, throw a couple of Marines in a room with one NAVY SEAL, tell them you'll buy beer for the rest of the night for the last one standing..... I'll put my money on the SEAL. Once again... no disrespect to the Marines, I love all the services and what they fight for.

I'm tired of hearing people say Marines are "tougher" than SEALs and that SEALs are "tougher" than Marines. If one group of the Special Operations community was "tougher or better" than the other then the military would just do away with all of the inferior units and just use one. First of all to clear up your ignorance on the topic. There are different types of Marines out there. There is MARSOC (formally Force Recon), Battalion Recon and just Grunt Battalion. Each of these areas of the Marine Corps specializes in a particular area of operations. MARSOC Marines carry out and conduct the same types of missions as SEAL teams, Army Green Berets and Air Force Special Tactics and is a contributing member of Special Operations Command (SOCOM). Grunt and Recon Battalions operate more closely as a large infantry unit and are under the command of and MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unity) or other battalion commander. Now that you understand the difference lets get back to your once again ignorant and egotistical question. MARSOC (Spec Ops Marines) and Navy SEALs have different paths of training and requirement standards. The SEALs have BUD/S training and has a drop out rate of 70% or more and MARSOC has RIP which has a somewhat higher passing rate, however... The requirement standards to enter into BUD/S are somewhat lower that the requirements for someone to enter into RIP. Just because a Marine may be in top physical condition and score well on his PT may still qualify him to advance on to RIP. When talking about BUD/S, as long as you pass the PT prior to entering then you will head to San Diego and begin the 6.5 month rigors and painful quest to become a Navy SEAL. The reason why RIP has a higher passing rate is because they look for Marines who are "above" average and already posses the determination and physical fortitude to achieve their goals. Both impart values and pride in their training and missions and serve at the same level of expertise and motivation as any other Spec Ops unit. Now when comparing Navy SEALs to Grunt Battalion Marines, your talking Oranges and apples here. Navy SEALs have no where near the type of man power capable of carrying out large scale firefights and conventional warfare tactics. I will say that SEALs are certainly capable of duking it out but can easily become overwhelmed if things get too "hot". Same principle goes for MARSOC Marines. Let's take a scenario for example; if my house were under attack by 100 Taliban fighters, I would want the Battalion Marines protecting me, not some 12 man SEAL or MARSOC Team. So to ask who is "better" shows ignorance on all parts and also shows the level of competency people have about our armed services because each branch of the military has its own specialty and as I said before, if one is actually "better" than the other then the more superior branches would dominate. Now to discuss who is "tougher" is a different topic. Navy SEALs and Marines (Whether MARSOC, Batt. Recon or just Grunt Batt) are in my opinion the pretty badass and are very very good at what they do, same thing applies for Army Special Forces and Air Force Special Tactics. These four branches that serve in special operation missions serve and protect this country in every last ounce of individual and team effort on every mission and deployment, and the general public has no clue what its like to be apart of the elite warriors and defenders of this country and the dedication to achieving their goals and perfection on every scale.

Actually a Navy Seal is tougher than a room full of marines but, on the other hand a Marine Raider would kick a room full of Navy Seals Butts.

THEY LET WOMEN IN THE NAVY TOO FAG THEY DONT IN ANY GRUNT, RECON, OR MARSOC BATTALION

why do you think they don't let girls into the SEALs? because not even the toughest men can make it threw without 99% of them wanting to give up. Marines are great don't get me wrong but when i did the SEAL PT training before i left for boot camp...lemme tell ya, that wasnt no BS. the training that you get at BUD/s is the best..less than 10% percent make it threw...once hell week comes around you start to look around and realize that theres only a few left and your trying and giving everything you got to not ring that bell...now i love all branches of services.....but the seals earned the ticket to the party when trouble calls..not many branches can have 5 guys to a platoon and do a mission that 40 guys couldn't handle...during the night...pitch black..silent...rock on seals...goodluck to every branch out there...NSW

FACT: U.S. Navy SEALs are America's

you have to look at the fact that with a lil dedication the majority of people can go through marine boot camp and make it. i have seen nerds, gang members, average joe's make it and become marines. What makes the seals different is bud/s ( and hell week). to be able to suck up the pain and cold and lack of sleep over and over and over that is what separates them. a marine is a pitbull dog with it's leash cut off running around kicking ass wherever. A NAVY SEAL is a pitbull with it's leash cut off but is EXTREMELY trained. they lay low and silent until it reaches it's objective then it unleashs hell!! JUST MY TWO CENTS!

(Sekytwo) HOOYAH!!

This is a stupid conversation comparing a regular infantry marine to a Navy SEAL try comparing a Navy SEAL to a MARSOC marine then I want to here all you Navy SEAL wannabes talk trash on the marines. FACT: MARSOC marines train longer than Navy SEALs and ill prove it. Navy SEALs train for about 2 and a half years. 6 months in BUD/S and 2 years training in the SEAL qualification course (SQT). MARSOC marines train about 6 months longer that is 3 years. 7 months training in the Marine Special Operations School (MSOS) teaching them basic special operations skills. Then 6 months training with the MEUs (Marine Expeditionary Unit) Special Operations Training Group. Then another 18 months training to hone their Special Operations skills to become Elite Warriors. Then it makes me want to talk crap on them.

Answer 2

Seals and Marines have different missions. Each is very good at what they do, and there is not a "better" answer here. Sort of like which is better- a motorcycle or a boat? Each does different things.

New Answer:

Actually there is a fairly simple answer here: SEALs, hands down are a more elite force. Here is some factual information:

There are roughly 200,000 marines and at the most 2,000 SEALs. (meaning it is about 100 times harder to be a seal...)

It takes about 12 weeks of training to build a Marine. Seal training begins with BUDs which is 6 months of the most demanding military training in the USA and possibly the world. That is just the beginning really, next is 4 months of SQT which is advanced Seal training that teaches stealth action, advanced marksmanship, hand to hand combat, combat swimming and skiing etc.

So Hands down, the SEALs are a more highly trained, elite unit.

That said, the Marine corps do have a subgroup of some of the best marines called Force Recon. Recon is more comparable to SEALs.

We're all on the same side, and each group is great at what they do. But bottom line: When we must get the job done, we turn to the Navy SEAls.

Answer 3

There are about 2,400 US Navy SEALs and about 220,000 US Marines. If I was a SEAL I would not like the odds.

From the lighter side: If you were a SEAL, you would relish the odds -you have them outnumbered!

Answer 4

Navy Seals no question. Marine bootcamp is tough for some but is nothing compared to bud/s. Bud/s has a 70-80% failure rate. I think that statistic speaks for itself.

Answer 5

Navy SEALs have the toughest training in the military

Answer 6

It's just an opinion. They are both very elite forces.

Answer 7

Navy SEAL by far.

Answer 8

Navy seals
