Let's be honest, it could be a lot worse.

What do you think the Halo equivilent of Navy SEALs are?

SEALs are special forces, just like the ODSTs.

No ONI has special teams, remember the Spartan II's early actions against the Rebels on that asteroid before they had suits?

They weren't the only team out there, ONI has ton of "black ops" teams.

But since SEAL Team 6 is the "best of the best", then the Halo counterpart would be Blue Team.

Id say either the ODSTs or the SPARTAN 1's

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

^This.

Do keep in mind that the Spartan II's are different. They are chosen at a very young age, genetically deemed superior and trained throughout their entire life and augmented like laboratory experiments.

In todays world, if such a thing existed. The ethical nature of this programme would require it private from public eyes. May be deemed as violation of basic Human Rights.
In other worlds, you wouldn't even know they exist.

You could argue no-one knows who the individual identity of Team 6 is, but the truth of the matter is that they are recognized by their branch, the Navy SEALS.

It's commonly known SEALS are selected and have one of the toughest special operations training programs in the world

But that alone does not compare them to Halo's Spartan-II;s.

I think the closest comparison if an augmentation existed would be Spartan-I's.

That would be the ODSTs, I'm not counting the Spartans because they're not ordinary humans any more as they've had a crap load of alterations to their bodies. ODST is the best bet of a comparison between a SEAL and human soldier from Halo.

They would be ODSTs. The ONI teams someone referenced would be more akin to a CIA wetwork team. Spartans have no real world equivalent.
