Well, there's a difference, Mephisto. Basically, as I understand it, if a beachhead needs to be taken, the Marines do it. It one guy needs to get whacked, the SEALs or Delta do it. The Marines are not "the best of the best," so to speak, but as far as branches of the military go, they're the most brutal and effective. When I real fight breaks out, they're at the front. Of course this is on over-simplification, but it gets the basic idea across. Marines kill well, special forces kill specific things well.
And back on topic, the Marines I know are all psycho. With good reason. I respect it, but I'm certainly glad I'm not one of them.
