“always wondered why so many ex-SEALS talked so much. Always seemed odd to me that special-ops guys would blab about their deeds. Must have been the”

Well, keep in mind that Seals are all enlisted. Meaning that they don’t make much money will they’re in nor is their retirement overly generous. Consequently, I’m ok with them making some money off of their many years of dangerous missions, physical hardship, etc.

It’s the selfie generation... Also the generation when their parents clapped every time they said thank you or took a step.
If money is more important to you than the lives of those who come behind you, then write a book.. Disclose the tactics and ops of your brothers in arms.
The generation who didn’t need an audience to adore them because they fought in the worst conditions and won.. Is slowly dying.
Kids usually walk and say thank you.. Don’t clap for them.. Encourage them, but don’t reward them for mediocrity.

Most are, but they have officers also. I seem to recall CDR Marcinko.

SEALS all enlisted?

I’m guessing Lt. Matt Bracken would dispute you on that one.
