Are the rangers better than marines?
no, they are merely an above grade soldier in the army. the best "specialized soldier" is the Navy Seal. they comb through the marines/navy and take the best of the best. i personaly believe that the marines second to only the Navy seals because of the diverse and excrutiatingly long training.
The US army ranger is a highly trained infantry soldier trained in arborne , land and sea operations. The modern ranger is a very versatile soldier and is comparible to other Special Operations forces. To include Navy Seals. Navy Seals are the tip of the spear but they do have there limitations. I suggest you read the training manuals of each unit and make a decision for yourself. I have many friends stil in ranger units and have worked closely with Seals and Delta operators all over the world. I have nothing but fond memories of those still alive and dead. But as for the best. It all depends on who standing next to you when the rounds are going down ranger.

Who ever wrote the above answer is way off base. Asking are the RANGERs the best, depends on the mission. The modern U.S. army's 75th RANGER rgt. is America's Shock force. If the mission is securing an airfield etc. They are the best are military has. The SEAlS and RANGERS have different missions. Members of the 75th RANGER regiment are more than above average soldier's. They are more selective and training is far more rigorouss than a U.S. Marine. Also Navy Seals must complete RANGER school after BUDS to earn their trident. So do Marine Force Recon. Asking who is better is like asking is a heart surgeon better than a neurosurgeon. Maybe individually, but they have different jobs. So comparing the SEALS to the RANGERS is apples and oranges. In Panama in 1989 SEAl team 4 was "hoers De combat " which means combat ineffective from casualty's trying to secure an airfield because that is not their normal mission and their dead and wounded were rescued by the 3/75th RANGER battalion. It wasn't because the SEALS lacked courage or valor they refused to retrograde and leave their dead and wounded until re enforced and re leaved by the RANGERS. I am in no way disrespecting the U. S Navy Seals they are the finest and most highly trained naval commandos in the world.

Why is the US military not protecting US borders?
The short answer is that the U.S. Military is largely prohibited by U.S. law and military regulations from engaging in operations on U.S. soil, unless under certain conditions.
The Posse Comitatus Act, passed on June 18, 1878 after Reconstruction following the Civil War, specifically limits the powers of the Federal Government from using the military in law and order circumstances on non-federal property (i.e., States and local municipalities). In such cases as border problems, which is a law enforcement issue, the individual State governors may use National Guard units. Note that Guard units are not Federal forces until they are actually called up for active Federal service; until that time they are State militias.
The Army and Air Force are specifically prohibited from law enforcement activities on U.S. soil by the Act; the Navy and Marines are specifically prevented by Department of Defense directive, not the Act itself.
The sole exemption is the U.S. Coast Guard, which, although a military force when assigned to the Navy in wartime, is specifically a law enforcement unit. When Navy units are involved in drug interdiction in U.S. waters, there is a Coast Guard officer aboard to direct operations and to actually handle any arrests.
There are certain circumstances where the Act doesn't apply, such as use of the military in national disaster aid, insurrection/rebellion to the point where State authorities have lost the capability of restoring order (Insurrection Act), etc.
The whole purpose of the Act is to make it much more difficult for the President to use the U.S. Armed Forces to assert martial law or intervene in States' law enforcement affairs without proper justification.
HOWEVER...
That does NOT mean that the President won't suspend the act in time of emergencies, though most Presidents have historically used that action sparingly and with good cause. President Clinton did so during the LA riots in the 90's to help restore order. But any President knows that doing so is a slippery political slope; any U.S. forces firing on and killing U.S. civilians has had bad consequences in the past (e.g, Kent State shootings) for the President and his party.
What was the name of the ship that was captured by a US navy ship in 1839?
The slave ship La Amistad, a two-masted schooner, was taken over by its captured slaves during an onboard rebellion in July 1839, while in transit from Havana to Puerto Principe, Cuba.
The Amistad was captured by the USS Washington, a ship in the service of the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service (forerunner of the U.S. Coast Guard) off the coast of Long Island.
The Amistad and its capture is significant in history in that it became a symbol for the abolishment of slavery in the United States. A court case, United States v. The Amistad, questioned several key things:
1. Whether or not the slaves captured aboard the ship by the USS Washington were salvage property under the rights of naval capture
2. If they belonged to their Cuban buyers
3. If they belonged to Queen Isabella of Spain
4. If they were free as a result of their transportation, takeover, and capture (it was illegal at the time to transport slaves from Africa to the Americas; the Amistad owners falsely claimed they were born in Cuba)
Eventually, the case reached the Supreme Court on appeal in 1841, and the slaves involved in the Amistad were freed. The survivors returned to Africa in 1842.
In simple terms ,that is a 'battle'
