Not easy being a Navy Seal.. Not easy qualifying let alone completing Seal training.. The cream of the cream.. Battle tested Seals are even more rare.. Big loss.. Much more valuable assets than any piece of equipment.. The chopper was meaningless.. The ones with them were no slouches either or they wouldn't have been there..
The difference between these guys and vacuous Hollywood or Washington D.C. big mouths is massive..
We have the best trained and most capable LRS and SF teams in the world. If anyone could E&E, they could...as evidenced by this one who has now been found and rescued. I pray the others have done the same.
Also, amongst these warriors, generally, you will not find any more patriotic, solid, all-American individuals anywhere.
