美国特种兵大比拼 三角洲军团 vs 海豹突击队

2012-09-08来源:互联网
And The Winner Is.....

现在答案是:

Based on what I’ve reported here, one might think that Navy SEALs — particularly Team 6/DEVGRU — would be the tougher of the two when comparing them to Delta Force; they have more intense training (that we know about), and were even created in response to one of Delta Force’s botched missions. However, to say the Navy SEALs are tougher than Delta Force is an unfair argument because you have to consider just what exactly makes a soldier tougher?

根据目前的信息,有些人可能会认为海豹突击队会略胜一筹——特别是由于海豹6分队,因为他们的训练项目更疯狂,还扮演着三角洲军团任务失败后收场的角色。不过仅凭这些就判断说海豹突击队比三角洲军团更强,明显有失偏颇。因为还要考虑影响士兵战斗力的因素。

Quantitatively, you can say the amount of training, but in the real world it really boils down to the particular mission at hand. And every mission is different, with its own unique obstacles, element of danger, and military strategy. Both the Navy SEALs and Delta Force are SMUs (Special Mission Units) under U.S. Special Operation Forces and sometimes work together (unofficially, of course). Could Delta Force have taken out Osama bin Laden if they had been tasked with the job? I think that they might have had the ability to do so — however, they just didn’t get that assignment, so we’ll never know.

训练的数量并不能说明什么,而且现实世界的复杂性决定了训练的不足,每一次紧急事故都有不一样的障碍和危险因素,所要求的军事策略也不一样。三角洲军团和海豹突击队都是美国特种作战部队的分支,并且有时也共同合作(当然这也是非官方的说法)。难道能认为三角洲军团就不能击毙本拉登吗?我认为他们同样有这种能力,只是运气不好,没有分到这个任务,因此真实性永远没法知道。

In the end, there’s no real definitive answer to who is tougher between Navy SEALs and Delta Force — they’re both badasses in my opinion — and if you favor either one over the other in terms of being tougher, that’s pretty much like taking sides in an evenly matched Army vs. Navy football game. Besides, I dare not side with either unit in this comparison of toughness; I know both have the capacity to find me and take me out.

在最后,并没有一个确切的答案来说明谁更强。在我看来他们都是佼佼者,而如果你因为喜欢某一方觉得它比另一方更强,那就好像是评价陆军和海军实力相当的足球比赛。另外,我不敢说哪一方更强,因为我知道无论是哪个队伍,找到我都是易如反掌——我还想多活两年。
