Are they less professional now? Wouldn't the same exact shite that happens to Seals happen to all branches? Why do they all of a sudden feel the need to brag about everything and try to make money off of it all? I know that this administration was leaking info about the OBL stuff directly to the media and was actually helping them make movies. Are they still doing it? I'm also curious as to whose pockets the movie money goes into

I have only friends/clients connections to the special operations community, and those connections aren't especially revealing, but my understanding is that SEALs have always had a reputation for being in/seeking the spotlight more.

Now, that could be that they've traditionally gotten more hollywood attention, and I think most of it is just banter among groups, but I've always heard it.

All the Federal LEOs I know talk shite about USSS and FBI too, likely for similar reasons. There is always some group that gets the bulk of the attention/credit.

Are they typically younger than other SF guys? Do SEALs have to do active duty "boots on the ground" type stuff before becoming a full SEAL?

I believe that a lot of the Delta and SAS guys are planted within other, less experienced ground units like army and Marines. Is that true? Maybe they want to let the young guys take all of the credit and are just there in a support role?

It is just weird that you see seals all over TV, and the rare times you see Delta guys, their faces are either blurred or blacked out. Only guy that is "out there" is Larry Vickers, and he hasn't ever given any specifics about what he did
