Slightly off topic, but a question i have always wondered. Do the Para’s warrant their status as an elite fighting force? I know they gained their reputation from WWII, but do they still justify this? I have heard mixed reports on them, so if anyone could clarify this for me, would be appreciated!
Secondly... I know the Royal Marines have a 32 week training course (i have heard to most intense non special forces training in the world?), but how does that compare to the Para's training?
Cheers
Nick
