Navy SEALs change official ethos to be gender neutral, remove ‘brotherhood’ and more
American Military News ^ | 29 September 2020 | RYAN MORGAN

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.”

The Fraud offered up a chopper-full of SEALs and our ace sniper to the enemy.

The Armed Forces will make physical tests easy so that all women can ace them.

There is no way a bio-woman (or “cis” woman) would complete that course.

Oh don't worry, they will lower the bar to accommodate.

This statement by the top brass confirms their intentions to lower standards.

I wasn’t certain that was their intent until I read the denial.

Trump really should have fixed this in his first two years.

How much is one single person expected to do and with all the forces arrayed against him ? It's a miracle he was able to do all that he's done.

Military budgets are hostage to the whims of Congress.

The destruction of an effective Military is key to America hating Libs.

Only a few men can become a Navy Seal. There is some overlap in the Bell Curve of men and women. But not at the extreme ends.

How about a 15 mile forced march through ankle deep sand in 100 degree heat with 70 lbs of gear? Show me Wonder Woman from the woke movies.

A fighting unit is only as strong as its weakest link. Stop with the gender horseshit.

There are plenty of full colonels and captains (navy) with combat experience that can more than adequately fill general and admiral positions. Keep around and promote the deserving generals and admirals - weed out the commie leadership. The Pentagon Swamp needs to be drained, metaphorically speaking - the swamp exists all over the place.

OMG...I cannot believe I am reading this horses**t....does anyone in their right mind believe that women could ever perform as SEALS or Special Forces or in similar outfits..?

This is madness on steroids...

ha! and people think the US military will side with patriots if this current situation goes hot... no way... you gotta understand, folks. The brass are almost ALL lefty SJW’s and at least half of the enlisted corps if not more are BLM’ers.

‘Tommy Smith’ from Alabama ain’t really who makes up the majority of the U.S. Military anymore.

How the hell is a cis woman any different than just woman? Is cis a replacement work for normal?
