I tell you, after I read that Wikipedia article on Marine Force Recon, those guys are serious. They are pretty well-rounded - everything from Scuba to Scout/Sniper to Ranger School. I suppose that Marines are, by nature, pretty well rounded. They're supposed to be deployable from the Land, Sea, or Air.
I also have to admit my own bias towards Army Special Forces. I knew quite a few of those guys at Ft. Bragg and they're amazing. Army SF has divers, HALO teams, you name it, they do it. Delta is even more so.
I guess the way I look at it is that each type of special operations unit has a purpose, or a specific specialty. If the mission is to assault an oil tanker or oil rig or something on the water - it's gotta be the SEALs. If the mission is to go and work with local people to try and raise an army, it's gotta be Army SF. If it's long range recon in the jungle - send in Force Recon. If you need to capture and hold an airfield - send in the Rangers. I think we probably need them all for different missions. Just my opinion.
