Chilean Special Forces, a joke?
Welk, if not. I think they get beaten by UK Marines.

What gives you that Impression MAGNUM?
That pic could be almost any unit in the world not just US Rangers!

Perhaps they are indeed Chilean Commandoes,have you ever seen Chilean Commandoes,do you know the location of that photo?

[FuturePara]

He thinks it's Rangers because they more likey are then not. That picture has appeared in almost any book about US Army Rangers you can find as of now. It is also under the US Army Ranger section on specialoperations.com.
The captions I've seen for that photo every time states it's members of 2/75 conducting training on the Nisqually (SP?) River in Washington. 2/75 is posted to Fort Lewis, Washington.
