(Aren't the SEALs trained to stand in one spot for hours holding a laser while taking fire without knowing whether anyone is there to strike the target? /s).....

Good question, however ? would a laser be placed in a static position do the job ?
Also got to take into account that the acquired target does not always stay in a static position.. so the Ex-Navy Seal had to constantly re-acquire his target.
It seems the Ex-Navy Seal did his duty in a very bad situation and paid with his life for it.

Good question,...

That was where the heavy sarcasm was. ;-)
