It is interesting you mention this as actor John Wayne starred in both Green Berets and The Fighting Seabees- about Navy Construction Battalion men. I do not recall any Seabees in Green berets- essentialy ground-combat with big mouth Wayne. The character Wayne played in Fighting Seabees was based on a Naval Engineering officer who was a real man. When in Dress tans- the actor did somewhat resemble this man and not utility-hero-man Wayne.

When Col. Kirby's(John Wayne) A Team arrives at thier forward base, he is able to eventually get a Seabee detachment to come in and clear trees and some other work. The camp later gets overrun by the enemy and the Seabees assist in defense. The Seabee C.O. is wounded while defending himself from atop a Cat dozer .Additionally, according to the dozer operator, clearing trees is "Like mowin' the lawn".

Army Rangers typically serve for a minimum of three years after completing their training, although many choose to extend their service. Green Berets, or Special Forces soldiers, also have a minimum service commitment of three years post-training, but similar to Rangers, many extend their service based on personal preference and career opportunities. Both roles often involve long-term commitments due to the intensive training and specialized skills acquired.


What is the best defense of the military - green berets or navy seals?

Personnel of the Green Berets will make it very clear that the Green Berets are the best. They will probably say that they are the best at everything.Unsurprisingly, the Navy SEALs are likely to say exactly the same. So will the British SAS and SBS. Ask the Marines for their opinion and they will say the same about their own service. There are many more just like these.Each of them have certain roles to play, are remarkably well trained and all can rightly claim to be among the elite of the military. We are fortunate to have them as part of the Western free world and if I need military help, I would be glad to see any one of them coming to my aid.
