23. And arguably better

ST6 gets all the media hype, but I actually knew someone who was closely connected to the military during the Iraq War. He mentioned that Seals are best at being top-notch athletes, but they have the support of reinforcements. With the Green Berets and The Delta Force, they go in and are just expected to execute their mission and find their way back. He also claimed that in one-on-one, hand-to-hand (or knife) combat, Seals would lose every time.

By the way, the person who shared this with me is a Marine. He was also talking about regular Seals, not ST6, fwiw.
