I doubt there is much to choose between the British Royal Marines and the USMC (one of my best mates who once saved my bacon in the British Virgin Islands, with his yacht by leaving his extremely cute French girlfriend over Xmas, was a former USMC bloke, he could drink Pussers rum in very large amounts and always said I was the only Limey he knew who was dark enough to be interesting. I, kinda, think it was a compliment, sort of). The USMC have the advantage in numbers and amounts of kit. As an Englishman I think the Royal Marines have a slight advantage in training, but I admit I'm biased.
