An earlier contributor qustioned whether we need the parachute regiment?

the paras are with out a doubt an elite part of the uk forces in my opinion outwith the sas and sbs the marines and paras are our most highly trained soldiers the marines traininig is a fair bit tougher than p coy i can qualify that statement as i have trained with both learning to jump as you can guess there is a fair bit of rivalry between the two but if you were to ask them both what they think of each other they highly respect each other
