SEALs that I've met (besides looking great in sunglasses) are like rabid, well disciplined wolves when a member of their TEAM is attacked. They share everything and are like a fist, each member makes up the fist and makes it stronger.
I know that I would have killed the goat men. I think that it would only have bought them a little time because of the layout and the fact that there were hundreds of bad men wandering around a small area.
I'm not a "counseling" kind of guy, but I say this only as a prayer for hope. This man appears to be at risk to hurt himself. He has to put up with stupid questions in promoting this book by idiot reporters and confront the incident over and over again.
I hope that his family comforts and helps this man, and that a church or group reach out to help this man find the peace he deserves.
This man will carry his torment throughout his life..
The only thing that will change is the level of hurt, anguish and horror... It will continue to cycle from bearable to nearly unbearable...
I would hope that he is carefully monitored..
Suicide is not a remote possibility...
Drug or alcohol abuse is a very high risk...
Lack of sleep from the constantly repeating and horrifying nightmares will leave him exhausted and agitated for years if not decades.....
This man need more than our prayers....but he certainly has mine....
