  1. Paratroopers should be called commandos as well. Their training is just as tough and relevant.

  2.  @gingerbaker4390  I am not saying that Marine with Paratrooper are the same. A Commando group is a military group that conducts Commando raids and have a more independent structure. British Paratrooper regiments fall into that. British Paratrooper training is of a special operations level and are not standard infantry.

  3. France has a proper youth development system that does not focus on buying in ready made players from the continent.

  4.  @_blitzterceptor_8648  Britain does not use the term Paracommandos it use just Parachute Regiment or Paras. UK Parachute regiments are elite trained forces that are effectively Commandos. The first Parachute group were designated Special Air Service Battalion and the reason for this was due to the fact they were a Commando group that were redesignated as Air Service. Todays Parachute regiments are elite and not standard infantry.

  5.  @forklift629  It is not about being tough but in relation to their active capabilities. The 11th Special Air Service Battalion were commandos and had the same capabilities as todays Parachute Regiment.

  6.  @ice1032  I am not sure what you mean by that? Are you saying that my opinion is devoid because of clandestine operations?
