Military History concludes that many military units albeit ours or others have attained great names and assured their place in both tradition and history. The field of human conflict cannot be regarded similar to a sporting league table i.e. on a point by point basis.
Let them remain in their centuries, generations and age. Too may changes have accrued in arms and tactics over the centuries to make such generalisations!

General George Washington's half starved and frozen troops that crossed the Delaware that freezing winter night...they almost didn't make it. Where would be if they didn't?
All the military units are great...some just more famous than others.
