U.S. Navy Seals (Tears of the Sun) vs U.S. Special Forces (Predator)

These two teams are my two favorite elite military groups in movie-dom. Let's put them against each other in a couple of battle scenarios. Both teams are allowed everything they showed in there respective film. This includes heavy guns, assault rifles, handguns, grenades, traps, mines, nightvision, and knives.

U.S. Navy Seals (Tears of the Sun)
*LT. Waters
*Red
*Zee
*Slo
*Silk
*Doc
*Flea

U.S. Army Special Forces (Predator)
*Dutch
*Dillon
*Mac
*Blain
*Poncho
*Billy
*Hawkins

Things to Consider
*The Seals are more of a stealth team. They have two snipers. They could be seen as ninjas. They try to take you out without your knowing.
*The Special Forces are more of cigar in mouth badasses like the Spartans. But as shown in the film they can do stealth. They let you know they're there then proceed to attack.
*Both teams had an incredibly difficult task in there films. Both accomplished there mission. Albeit to varying degrees of sucess.

Battle Scenarios
1. Both squads are dropped on the opposite side of the jungle and are assigned to wipe the other team out.
2. The Special Forces unit takes the TotS mission. They must bring back Dr. Kendricks alive and any nuns/priests that agree to go. They get roughly 30 Africans along the way and must get them to safety as best as possible.
3. The Navy Seals are in the jungle of Guatemala. Jungle Hunter starts to pick them apart. Can they suceed in staying alive?
4. Overall, who is the more elite team? Which team can do more things? Which of the two squads would you want escorting you throughout the jungle?

i haen't seen either films what are their indivual feats

Well..........you haven't seen Predator. I can understand you not seeing TotS, but Predator?

never able to find it

1. SEALS. Their stealth pwns Dutch and his boys.

2. I'm betting they pull it off. They are special forces after all, and Dutch seemed to have a heart, he seems like the type who would value Lena's life more than his own. I think Dutch would actually accept it far easier than LT did.

3. Yes. And if it came down to one man against the Pred, I think it'd be Red.

4.SEALS. No contest.

3.

1. Stealth will play a factor. But if the fight starts in the sunlight then it'll be a minor one. Individually, the SF's are better. I'd say the Seals displayed better teamwork.
2. The SF romp. They fare much better than the Seals with the exception of parts in need of a sniper.
3. What's so special about Red? Individually, the SF's were impressive. Not sure if LT's in the same caliber of Dutch.
4. I'd probably have to say the Seals are the more versatile unit as of now.

Did it say in the movie what kind of Special Forces unit Dutch's team was....were they Green Beret's, Delta Force?

Individually, the Seals don't compare to Dutch's team.

Dutch, Billy, Blain, and Mac would solo masses.

But you said Red is the man to take the Yautja on. Where do you think he ranks as a soldier on rosters of both squads in order taking in everything including gun handling, marksmanship, tactics, H2H, and body build?

Well, at the end of TOTS, the rest of the SEALS were all spent, but Red was still going almost full speed. Until he got shot lol.

He looked pretty efficient with a mahcine gun, with a pistol, dunno about h2h.

This is the order I see them in.

1. Dutch
2. Billy
3. Mac
4. Poncho
5. Blain
6. L.T.
7. Zee
8. Red
9. Doc
10. Lake
11. Slo
12. Silk
13. Flea
14. Dillon
15. Hawkins

Hawkins sucked ass.

Mini Gun for the win.

Do both teams get a Sniper? I don't think one team is going to have an advantage in stealth. Both teams are going to employ stealth seeing as it's how they're trained.

Dutch's team has no sniper, SEALS do, SEALS pwn.

Well technically, all you need is a scope. Flea didn't havbe a sniper rifle, he had a scope. Silk was the only one with a snipers rifle.

The SF's have advantages in weapons as well. They have far more explosives, minigun, and a 6-shot grenade launcher.

yeah, if Dutchs team has a Sniper rifle as well then i'd side with them otherwise the lack of a Sniper rifle is to big. Although...,Dutch was able to locate and injure an invisible alien sniper who had a plasma canon. So, that might factor in here.

Unless the sniper is far away(hundreds of yards) Dutch's team will spot them. Dutch and Billy were constantly thinking something was following them as soon as they landed.
