I’m not going to subscribe to the Slimes to read the article. I’ll look for it free online.
Anyone have a link?
Bmp
Free link..
Like the Bill Burr routine about Lance Armstrong...
Our roided up guy beat your roided up guys.
Hormone use throws your body out of whack.
Guys, use food and supplement choices to help heal, instead.
Gee, I breathily wait for the NYT’s to cover the “ Culture of Brutality, Cheating and Drugs in Gay Bath House which result in Deaths”.....
Total bullshit by pencil-neck-geek uber-woke NY Slimes smear merchants who hate SEALs because they epitomize everything that they hate.
Give them to them. Cycle on and off. Medical monitoring. They’ll be fine.
A hit piece on the US Military’s most elite, effective and feared special force. Not shocked.
Those guys are not just big, fit dummies. They are also intelligent. They are elite in every way. They know the costs and the risks. They are some of the worlds last true warriors. And I am glad they are on our team. I don’t care what they do to get through training and become what they are. I give them a lot of latitude. They’ve earned it.
As for the occasional training fatalities, it’s sad. It’s unfortunate. But, dare I say, it is a risk for the type of training they have decided to do. They also must know the danger of what they are training to do and could more easily die in battle. Take care of their families and move on.
Tell the left to go back to their pajama couch parties and suck each other’s thumb in a safe space.
A wimpy, girlyman journalism school jerk trashing the Navy Seals. That’s not very healthy. The boy needs to do a follow-up bad-mouthing article on the Hell’s Angels. LOL. Idiot.
Who didn't know this? It's like living in a movie.
"We're not recruiting with the Boy Scouts. We want people who are aggressive, who know how to go after that little edge you need to survive."
“In the 1980s, about 40 percent of candidates graduated. Over the past 25 years, the average has dropped to 26 percent. In 2021, it was just 14 percent, and in Seaman Mullen’s class this year, less than 10 percent.”
An old college roommate of mine was a SEAL in the 80s / 90s and he told me essentially the same thing. The instructors continue to make the course more difficult and brutal and the attrition rate keeps rising. In his opinion it’s an issue of ego, arrogance and increasingly toxic environment like hazing at fraternities. Without proper oversight it just keeps gett5ing worse.
“Basically, you are selecting for guys who are willing to cheat,”
What kind of people do you think run the country?
In the military, some jobs call for a man so hard he won’t break when bashed against the rocks. For better or worse, the only way to discover which men these are is to bash a few against some rocks.
Slimes hating on the SEALs.
Although the instructors here clearly seem to shirking responsibility. If one of your best and brightest American men is coughing up blood for weeks at a time, your number 1 goal should be his safety and health.
As an aside, I thought I read that the divorce rate for Seals was somewhere above 70%. Couple the drug use in BUDs with what’s been going on at Fort Bragg with Green Berets (drugs, crime, murder), it’s clear these men aren’t being taken care of as they should by our military.
A more cynical theory would be that the crushing overuse of SpecOps troops since the GWOT and the Deep State’s need for constant war is a great way to take the best, brightest, and fittest men out of your country and have them go kill people on other continents for years at a time instead of having them stateside protecting the homeland and building lives during their peak years.
Sports started this. I know of younger kids being taught how to fake a drug test by their coach to “get that edge.”
“If you want to win, you cheat!”
So the selection process is geared to groom the worst, and give them tools to MAKE them worse.
When you are in training and being tested to see if you can make it in the real world after months of inadequate food, terrible days and losses, and living in heat and humidity (ie-Vietnam), that is definitely not the time to be using drugs to artificially get you past the check marks while you are being evaluated.
