1. Royal Marines are trained as a commado force. 32 Weeks is including add on training.
2. U.S. Marines do 13 weeks bootcamp, then infantry training/MCT then further training according to MOS. I went through almost 2 years of training.
3. .Compare similar forces w/similar objectives: Force Recon>Royal Marine Commandos.
There is no comparison. It also doesn't matter what the length of training is...it's quality of training, and quality of force. The U.S. Marine Corps is a superior individual force to any on the planet. That is empirical fact. Royal Marines would agree with you.
Australians? Australians fucking salute Marines.
Also, are you really gonna say that Australia and the U.K. spend more money on troops? Really? Fucking Really?
