And that, Chris, that last aspect, the willingness to take one's own life -- I always tell people there are guys on our team like that, too. They're called Army Rangers and Navy Seals and the Special Forces folks and the first responders on 9/11 who went into those buildings knowing, by the way, they weren't going to come out. So we have players like that on our team." And there you have it.
He wasn't trashing the Rangers and the Seals.

He wasn't seeking to trash them, certainly. But he gets it wrong. There is an important difference between someone taking on a dangerous mission but who has been given the training and tools to survive, and someone sent out by cynical masters on a suicide mission.

I'm interested to see you have a different take on this. Would you agree that the mindset of suicide bombers and their masters is different from that of special forces people and their commanders?

Thanks. Clumsy but not treasous.

He wasn't trashing the Rangers and the Seals. Maybe I'm missing something .. but I took Williams comments as tough he was comparing the two

He wasn't trashing the Rangers and the Seals.Maybe not, but the quote shows that he is too dumb to make a coherent analogy.
