If there was a top 10 military units in the world would the Royal Marines probably be on it?

If there were a top 10 list for military units would the Royal Marines Commandos be on that list, if not then would they be close?

1. I believe so: 1. SAS 2. New Zealand SAS 3. SBS 4. Israeli special forces 5. South African Recces 6. US Delta 7. Australian SAS 8. US Navy SEALs 9. Royal Marines 10. Gurkhas
2. Yes. My rough list off the top of my head... 1. Apache Pilots 2. Navy Seals 3. French Foreign Legion 4. Army SFOD-D 5. Army SFOD-A's 6. Army Ranger Battalions 7. British SAS 8. Air Force PJ's 9. Royal Marines 10. Care Bears . . 27. Marine Corps
3. US delta Force- counter terrorism British SAS/SBS- counter terrorism. US Navy Seals- recon, amphibous based recon/missions US Green Berets- Recon, hostage rescue US Army Rangers- elite assult team Royal marine commandos-elite assult team US Airforce PJ's- Elite rescue team US Marine corps Force Recon- Recon/ assult British Para's US army Airborne
4. Why not. Then again it would really depend on the criteria of what one considered a top military unit and who was actually writing up the list. ( See above me :) ) If there were a list of the top ten singles of the world would the song "Penny Lane" from the Beatles be on it? Depends, I might put that song on there then again you might not. I've never heard anything about the Royal Marines that would make me think they are not an elite type of unit and if I ever created a list or a top ten list I would put them on it.. sure. So yes, If there is a top ten list the Royal Marines would be on it.
