So what elite group of any military branch is the deadliest? I used to think Navy Seals but I've heard there are some units overseas that are killing machines.

Yes, apparantly for many guns + death replaces lack of penile fortitude and lack of self-esteem.

there really no way yo determine this...we could go by statistics which i assume are all classified.

or you can go by whats depicted in the movies....

either way this is a very subjective question with no truly viable available answer

Strategic Air Command--It can kill thousands of people quickly. More bang for your tax dollars.

Not to mention we all know that the Canadian army is the deadliest! I mean they have A tank!

If you mean on the ground, I would have to say the black ops (don't 'officially' exist).....

Delta Force.

Well if you look at it that way, then it would be split between the Air Force and Navy.

What I meant is that as far as I know (unless this was changed), they aren't officially mentioned in the Pentagon...For example, their budget is under some nebulous title (like "Special warfare") and the amount of money they get is classified.
