I've known one SEAL. I asked him what is most memorable mission was. All he did was smile and answer by saying, "we did some neat stuff."

You could tell he wanted to say what it was but held off in doing so due to his oath. Gotta admire that.

I know of one of his missions. It was kind of well known.

That's the way they are. Our C-130 unit transported a lot of SEALs over the years and not once did any of them ever talk about any mission they had ever been on. The only mission I know about was the one to the Mustang Ranch, and only because we had rental cars and were their transportation there.

I worked on a project with a guy who was one of the original members of Delta. We figured he was ex-military but not until it was over and I saw his CV I know.

Also knew a guy who was a 60’s Green Beret. He never said anything about what he did.

Its not fun not being able to tell people what you’ve done.
