While I agree the SEALs are prob number one here I also have to say that they are not BY FAR superior to the others. I personally was in the Army's 1st Ranger Batt for 10 years and have seen, as well as worked with almost all JSOC units mentioned at some point in time. You hear more about SEALs primarily due to media whoring and OBL, but remember, BUDS is a 6 month course and Navy guys have learned NOTHING except it's big, gray, and it floats among drill and ceremony etc. up to this point of their training. If you join the Army even as a basic infantryman you spend 2 months learning nothing but combat related training. Get into RASP, Q-school etc and we're talking much more lengthy and grueling combat training. SEALs are an elite multi-purpose force while Rangers are a raid/shock force on a larger scale. SF operates in 10-12 man teams and generally SEALs are 4-6 dependent upon mission. All are legit and I have respect for all but SEALs are not leaps and bounds ahead of the others. Just my $.02.
