“Service experience” “disabled vet” Didn’t say combat vet, didja? I am a combat vet and have holes in my body to prove it. I also spent those 28 years training and leading a couple of generations of combat leaders and developing new technologies, tactics and doctrine.

Nobody does any of us any favors by candy-coating failure. If you are or weren’t professional enough to raise your voice when things went wrong, then you weren’t a leader, you were a cheerleader.

You led no one. If you had, you wouldn't have lumped all SEALs with the ones you allege screwed up somewhere in your heroic combat duties, where you were an eye-witness to multiple historic battles. Oh yeah, and you'd have a more precise way of referring to those battles, so as not to slam all of the rest of our people and mix them up with the ones you have decided are inept.

You're a fraud - a "keyboard commando" as you put it. And it there are holes in your body, it's because you didn't get your ass on the ground fast enough while others were running to protect you. Or it's because you got fragged by your own men for being a sh!tmouth one too many times.

Wow. Need to really scale back on the emotions, Bud. All the wild screed stuff just makes you look odd.

Failure is failure. What happened to the SEALs at Grenada (or for that matter Delta?) . How about Panama? Nobody questions our guy’s bravery but I do question the concepts and doctrine behind the operational employment of the SEALs.

Nah, I got shot dragging a wounded man to cover from the middle of an open field. Saved his life and I almost died from it. Spent 7 months in several hospitals recovering from that.

Now, what have you done?
