First of all I'd like to point out to people everywhere for the ten bajillionth time that 'decimate' means 'to decrease by one tenth', so that isn't that impressive. Even if he was using it incorrectly and meant something along the lines of "A single Elite can obliterate a squad of Marines.", it isn't that impressive. I mean, How many squads of Marines have you taken out by yourself on campaign. A BUNCH. Because with the exception of Sergeants Johnson and Stacker, and their Sniper Rifles of pain, the marines generally suck ass. This might change in Halo 2 when good weapons are stadard issue, but you'll still kick their asses.
Also, it depends on what you mean by stronger. We know that Spartans are stronger, as in physical strength, but it complicates things if you mean fighting ability.
