I've read many an uninformed, glowing treatments about mystical Ninjas, and I must disagree.
Let's say that a platoon of Navy S.E.A.L.s has a beef with a Ninja Death Squad and war is inevitable.
While ninjas are most assurdely quicker and stealthier, the technology and weaponry of the S.E.A.L.s would totally whup ass completely on ninjas.
S.E.A.L.s are known for their amphibious strenghts while it's quite well known that ninjas are afraid of water. Their heavy canvas suits get easily waterlogged and their face masks make it very easy to see underwater. Whereas S.E.A.L.s not only come equipped with sweetass flippers but also oxygen masks that can sustain them for miles underwater.
S.E.A.L.s have both thermo and night vision. As cool as ninjas are with their catlike reflexes, they can't see in the dark. So an attack by the S.E.A.L.s at night would cause complete and utter chaos and make the ninjas swallow their own tongues in fear of the military machine that is the S.E.A.L.s
S.E.A.L.s are like chamelions. They can blend into any environment. Whether it be desert, jungle, downtown city, or even outer space. Ninjas only have that one black outfit and despite their ability to move swifty without noise, they will still be easily detected becuase of their getup.
S.E.A.L.s have complete badass weaponry. Ninjas have stupid little swords, throwing stars and blow darts. At best, they could throw these with surgical precision for a hundred feet or so. S.E.A.L.s could stand hundreds of yards away and shoot off the fingertips of every ninja they chose just to toy with them. S.E.A.L.s come with rocket launchers, sniper rifles, Apache helicopters, and a bunch of other wicked cool types of stuff to kill the pansy ninjas with.
Finally, intelligence. Ninjas have none. They can only communiate with each other with their rudimentary telepathy skills. S.E.A.L.s have two-way radios with microphones where they can talk to every person in their platoon. They also always have video survelliance and a group leader that's watching everything from a safezone telling the S.E.A.L.s where all the bad guys are.
As long as the S.E.A.L.s properly stayed at least 50 feet from any ninja at any given time, the ninjas would have no chance. All in all, this would be a swift battle and the S.E.A.L.s would completely wipe out the ninjas while suffering zero casualties.
