“I want to be clear that the Marine Corps unequivocally does not condone the use of any such symbols to represent our units or Marines,” Amos said. Marine Corps Scout Snipers from the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion are seen in the photo standing and kneeling with their sniper rifles in front of a blue flag with white Nazi “SS” runes. The picture was taken in 2010 in Afghanistan and the photo’s description says the “SS” flag had been “adopted and used by the Marines in reference to Scout Sniper. ) – The military’s top brass went into damage control mode Friday after a picture of an elite Marine unit posing with a flag symbol that is similar to a Nazi “SS” logo surfaced on the Internet a day earlier. “Racist and anti-Semitic symbols have absolutely no place alongside the men and women of America’s armed forces,” Little said in a statement. First, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta asked the Marine Corps to look into the matter and take appropriate action, according to Pentagon spokesman George Little.Source: The News Record

and what do you do in each of their training, try to be specific please...
I can't speak for either, but I can tell you somewhat about Ranger. I graduated from Sapper Leader Course back in 2001 which is similar to Ranger School.
Rangers are trained to be more effective working in small groups than normal Infantry.

When I think about recent events involving the South Korean raid and contrast it with the USMC action on Magellan Star, the first thing that comes to mind is that the Marines didn't kill anyone - while the South Koreans killed a bunch of folks.
