OK this is maybe the place for this question.

Who was the toughest?

When I was a kid we often argued over whether Tarzan could whip Bomba or if Roy Rogers Could beat Gene Autry.

In combat arms there are two men who really stand out. Between Fairbairne and Skorzeny, who would win with no weapons? Who would win with bayonets? Who would win with rifles?

I know we are no longer little kids but maybe we can have some fun like we did back then.

I intend it as a serious question.

All the services have their harassment packages.
All of them have their “elite”,...you know,...
the 6’2” guy who sneaks in, remains stealthy for 3 weeks, remains still with bugs and mud all over him, blends into the environment, doesn’t eat or sleep, then simply grabs the guy and snaps his neck, direct action, returns home, never gets a DD214 and continues on with life, being in the right place, at the right time, to do the right thing, and never gets acknowledgment or even approbation.
That’s life. ...and for some death.
The best simply remain in faith in Christ in all things.
He knows who they are.

I do not accept your premise. I met Tony Poe.

If you didn't know: he's the one Marlon Brando's *Colonel Kurtz* character was very loosely modeled after for trhe film Apocalypse Now.
