See, this is all interesting info. Thanks for the replies. I can't find this stuff out from websites.
I guess I asked about hand to hand combat because I was curious at to what training methods were used by each type of special forces. I realize there are a lot of factors involved, but even then, sometimes it could be easy for something to outshine the rest when everything is looked at from the overall perspective. But in this case, I guess not.
So some of these guys become mercenaries huh? Is that a legal profession? Or is it one of those things that is kept sercret and no one knows about it?
See, I am not trying to start this whole debate thing, but every time I talk to a different Marine or someone who went through Marine boot camp, they always get touchy when ever I bring up the Army and how they are compared to them. It could just be coincidental that I am speaking to a few Marine guys who are just that way, or maybe that is generally how they all feel. I don't know since I am not in the armed forces, but I just don't get it what resentment there is on the part of Marines towards the Army with certain things.
For instance, if you mistake a Marine for an Army infantry, or vice versa, you'll never hear the end of it. And I realize that no one likes to be called the wrong thing, but it seems like there is more to it than that from the people I talk to. Like there is some underlying resentment that I can't put my finger on. Maybe its that whole Army vs. Navy mentality thing that I learned from U.S. War and Politics.
