“It is difficult to find peace in the woods when armed frogmen might be lurking behind every tree,” lawyers for the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, the group behind the lawsuit against the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, argued in a legal brief filed last month.
The Navy has used Washington state coastal parks for over 30 years for SEAL cold water training and other special operations exercises, with leaders saying the area offers the perfect environment to simulate what the elite forces may encounter on difficult operations overseas.
“I do not care to catch a glimpse of apparently armed men skulking around and I DEFINITELY do not want to risk having my young grandchildren see such a sight,” a resident wrote...
“In these days of great division in our civil society, we don’t need stealthy men in camo uniforms toting toy guns around our State and County Parks,” another commenter said. “People frequent parks to escape tension, not to encounter more. Keep the Navy commando training out of our parks!”
“The Navy’s plan is to use larger, gasoline-powered UAV’s as well as smaller, electric-powered types. This offers significant potential for direct and indirect injury to birds as well as auditory disruption to the experience of park visitors.”

FWIW, someone from circle who is close to this and one of us, says “fake news” they’re still training there and will continue to do so.
National Defense and training is so overrated
NIMBY wussies!
Guess these liberal idiots don’t grasp the concept that these Seals and their training are in a great part what keeps their right to be stupid alive and well.
Besides, with the Navy composed mostly of transmen and transwomen, they have better things to do than train.
They need to hear the Jack Nicholson wall space from a few good men.

Never you mind, little snowflake granny. If a Navy SEAL is coming after you, you will see him for only the twinkling of an eye.
Oh good grief - tell the snowflakes to stfu.
These would be the same leftist dweebs that would go running out of a sandwich shop if they saw police in uniform sitting and eating their lunch.
So, they have a fetish for bilateral amputees?
These nimbies in Washington should vacation in Switzerland. There you get to hear fully automatic fire being practiced every weekend, echoing off the mountains towering above the valleys below. It really is something to hear.
Target rich environment?
The grandkids will think it’s cool. “I want to be one of those Grannie!”.
“Thump” (as the snowflake Grannie keels over from a heart attack).
Hell...just go to Chicago.
“skulking”? Somebody’s gotta pick up their skill set if they’ve been skulking. Maybe we could write up a drill called “trolling for dunderheads” or some such?
Thank God.
Dear Douglas MacArthur, Omar Bradley, Chester Nimitz, Dwight Eisenhower, Bill Halsey, and all Americans who gave up their lives in World War Two,
I apologize to you for your bravery and sacrifice to this once great nation. Your efforts are not recognized by its current inhabitants and certainly not deserved by them either.
The blood, sweat, and tears you shed for our freedom was squandered by a generation of undeserving people who line up at the teat of government and whose only concern is what’s the government going to give them, not what has to be done to preserve the republic.
Your sacrifice will be honored by some, but the many know little of what you and your forebears did to attempt to keep this precious country free.
I apologize to you for our selfishness.
