Um, yeah. So the Navy SEALs have gone up against way more professional armies than the NVA. They've participated in operations in Grenada, Panama, Colombia, Afghanistan, and Somalia, just to give a few examples, and their opponents included Talibam troops, Somali pirates, and other heavily-armed and combat-capable conventional "opponents." They still operate in the Middle East. SWAT, on the other hamd, primarily deals with, as you put it, Truncheon, "gangs and organized crime outfits" (which even then I'd contest that claim, as I feel SWAT deals with high-intensity, high-risk engagements that better reflect the gravity of the situation than the combat capability of their opponents). So the Navy SEALs are better experienced against combat competent foes, are more flexible in their range of operations (Sea, Air, and Land), and are better equipped with more military-grade hardware as a result.
