Cfp3157,

Not saying you are wrong, but when was the last time the SEALs went up against a professional army?

At this point most the enemies the U.S faces are militia groups and terrorists. Even the militaries its faced in the past couple decades have been third rate.

As for facing the afore mentioned terrorist. They do, but what what makes said terrorist all that much different from the well funded and equiped criminal orginazations some times faced by SWAT?

Again I think its worth noting that up until recently groups like the SEALs went to SWAT to brush up on urban combat. More over many SWAT operators are ex-military ( infact on in some SWAT teams its required ) so often their breadth of experience is greater then just military or law enforcment.

Even ignoring that, as far experience goes. SWAT tends to be deployed more often then the SEALs and most SWAT officers have other duties with their respective police forces. So all things considered. Most SWAT guys have probably seen more "action".
