The U.S. Navy SEALs and the Navy Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) recently changed their ethos and creed statements to reflect a gender-neutral presentation of the elite Navy outfits, doing away with gendered terms like “brotherhood.”
One change to the SEAL ethos was to alter a sentence in the first paragraph of the ethos to say, “Common citizens with uncommon desire to succeed” instead of the original, “A common man with uncommon desire to succeed.”
Naval Special Warfare spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Stroup confirmed the changes to the ethos and creed statements in an emailed statement to American Military News.
“Naval Special Warfare continues to deliberately develop a culture of tactical and ethical excellence that reflects the nation we represent, and that draws upon the talents of the all-volunteer force who meet the standards of qualification as a SEAL or SWCC,” Stroup said.
Stroup said the changes to the ethos and creed statements were made to comply with changes in law opening the potential for women to join the elite military units.
“The previous versions of the SEAL Ethos and SWCC Creed were written prior to the law allowing women to serve as operators in Naval Special Warfare. The changes do not in any way reflect lowering standards of entry, rather they ensure that all those who meet the requirements to train to become a SEAL or SWCC are represented in the ethos or creed they live out. This improves the posture of the NSW force by ensuring we draw from the greatest pool of talent available.
Stroup confirmed, “To date, no women completed the SEAL or SWCC qualification training pipelines.”

NO F***ING WAY...
And none ever will, unless they reduce the qualifications drastically.
Are all these brass on the Chinese Communist payroll?
Wow. This is something else!
I wonder if Trump will put a stop to this. He should take the Navy chief to the woodshed.
Oh brother! Oops, excuse me. I meant Oh Sisterhood! Are they all becoming girlie men now?
Paving the way for transgender women.
Obama’s military that has not been tamed by Trump.
Oh, man! Er...I mean, ugh, I don’t know what I mean. I’m sorry..
Make it stop.
I guess the top brass believes everything they read about push-button warfare. And the irrelevance of upper body strength.
Because of this, some of our people will die that didn’t need to die.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
DANG!
Look at all the damage GW Bush, and especially Obama, did to our military. Trump really should have fixed this in his first two years.
I’m not a vet, but I have read up some on what people go through in SEAL training. There is no way a bio-woman (or “cis” woman) would complete that course.

Oh BS
It begins, more & more, to look as if that airline stopover at the Pentagon on 9/11 still has the communist pansies & faggots who run the Pentagon petrified...
RIP US Navy.
