SEALS and seals

If the real animal seals are out there, then so are the Great Whites! Interesting.

A quick search on Amazon will turn up dozens in not hundreds of books written by former Delta Force. SEALs didn't start the soldier as author genre, and the SF operators of the other service branches have cranked out just as many if not more books.

Gulab says Lone Survivor Got it Wrong

Hadn't read this til just now, but I guess my suspicions aren't totally unsubstantiated.

Nah, basic bitch recon.

Yeah, they can't fricking wait to talk about that shite.

I've only really known one SEAL and he worked "this one time at BUDS" into the first five minutes of conversation.

Their parents probably have bumper stickers that say "Proud parent of a US Navy SEAL" next to the honor roll sticker.

There are numerous other examples, but his description/memories of watching the sun rise over the horizon during early morning seal workouts on the WEST coast were hard to believe, unless the sun decided to rise in reverse on the days he recalled.

Well, in fairness, it does sort of rise over the bay if you're looking east towards San Diego.

Thank you very much for your service Sir!

I’m shocked at all you jackoff artiste , critize a true hero. If any of you cocksuckers have been true what he went thru, then you have a right to critize , until them, keep jacking

So, he made it through BUDs and the other schools but is a dud? Were you a team member or did you just work with them? I appreciate your service but to call someone a dud seems a bit nuts.

Started conventional then served with 3/75 Ranger Regiment and then went to a different tiered unit. I was not a SEAL. You have to understand that just because someone wasn’t a SEAL team member doesn’t mean they aren’t qualified to give their assessment. The SOF community is small.

meh. It’s relative and depends on what your expectations are. Yea someone who sits on a couch everyday and their only adversity in life has been the Internet going out probably will think my statement is nuts. (Not saying that’s you, just making a point that it’s a relative statement).

Even if you don’t believe he was a dud, that doesn’t mean you should believe someone just because they were a SEAL or an operator of any kind, it’s very shallow to strongly defend someone you don’t know just because of their title. People lie.
