Vietnam is actually a decent example. ? We lost the war for various reasons. ? Like the US not being prepared to fight against the VC. ? Primarily the VC's usage of the jungles. ? However, in Vietnam units like the SEALs and Rangers caused serious disruption among the VC. ? SEALs managed to kill 900+ VC in 9 years of fighting. ? Now I'm not necessarily saying you will win every senerio. ? I'm saying in a 5 on 5 matchup you will. ? You really will. ? You are that better trained. ? Even if you are ambushed. ? ? Every special forces unit trains really hard to counter ambushes. ? Yes, they are human just like the rest of us. ? ? I'm not saying they never have casualties. ? But really, they never loose entire teams unless they get shot down in helicopters or have to face an extremely large force. ? I've picked a prime example to explain to you what special forces training can do: ? During a mission using 4 Navy SEALs sent to capture a Taliban leader, their cover was blown. ? The 4 had to fight off 150-200 Taliban insurgents. ? 3 out of 4 died. ? One survived. ? At the beginning they called for reinforcements but the chopper was hit with an RPG and shot down. ? The SEALs fought off all of these soldiers. ? 3 of them died. ? ? One lived. ? ? Michael P. Murphy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia? reading about it right there. ? Second paragraph under operation Red Wings. ? See my point?
