I got a little edumacation on today. There were several Units I didn't know about. But HEY!! The US Military made the top 10 a total of 3 times (oops correction, 4). That's Awesome. I have to admit that NOT seeing the Rangers or SF was a little like, HUH???

What do you all think? ARE These the top 10 or do you feel that there are a few they were lacking? Did you know about #9? Whatcha think about the ones they covered?

Not sure that the article was a scientific approach to the top 10 elite fighting units but I was glad to see the US Army Special Forces included in the list. USSOCOM actually has Army SF, Army Special Operations Aviation Regiment, Army Rangers (75th Ranger Regiment), Joint Special Operations Command (ST6 and Delta), Navy SEALs and SBUs, Air Force Pararescue (PJs), Special Tactical Squadron (STS), and Marine Special Operations or MARSOC.

You've never heard of MARSOC?! You obviously have never seen "How to Train Like an Operator." "To train for MARSOC, we give you a baby panda to simulate a sensitive item. You must raise it...then #%*$ing kill it."

PS. This is probably one of the funniest and most juvenile military-related videos ever made. MattBest11x is awesome.

How quaint this list is talking people fighting people...that is Old School.
Via the Army Signal Corps, I can beat any of these top 10 forces in Cyber! ;)
