Not Ranked
The SOB got off easy...
The SEALS are a pretty tough bunch, When I was at Great Lakes we had about 200 guys try out.
2 qualified. (typically one or nobody qualified)
Out of those, about 5% make it through their "boot camp". Then only about two dozen or so serve on the "elite" teams.
I'm suprised there was actually a firefight, there must have been a considerable amount of security equipment at this compound. Otherwise it would have all been over in thirty seconds.
I'm not sure if it's typicall, but the few that I've met we all very mild mannered people. One guy I knew from high school and was barely tall enough to join the Navy. (not that you hear much about any of them)
Hopefully the intel captured results in the demise of even more of these wackos.
I'm curious why you never hear much about the Green Berets anymore? They were also part of these kill teams. As were some elite Marine teams.
