It’s not clear what you’re griping about. And I certainly hope you’re not questioning my respect for the SEAL.

Your hope is rewarded: No, I'm not, and btw I'm surprised you would even infer that.

I'm talking about people using vague or ambiguous antecedents so that readers can't tell who they are talking about: Person A, Person B, or Person C, a postulated hypothetical person introduced for purposes of argument only.

Posters online have frequently been very lax about specifying who they're talking about, when there is more than one person under discussion.
