Yeah the wording change was pretty minimal...
“The changes amount to a handful of words, according to Task and Purpose.
The SWCC creed now mentions an “elite group of maritime warriors” instead of the original “elite brotherhood of sailors,” Task and Purpose reports, while the ethos change includes a reference to “common man” tweaked to “common citizens.”
A line proclaiming “I am that man” was changed to “I am that warrior,” while the ethos’ final line referencing “brave men” has now been changed to “brave SEALs.”
If you allow women to serve as SEAL’s then a few tweaks in wording come with that decision.
Why allow inferior candidates?
Why destroy unit cohesion?
