Falling off a ship in the ocean at night is a bad scenario. I don’t know what the author expects. Has he never been to sea at all, even on a Covid cruise?

Especially in shark-infested water

Military operations, land, sea, or air, are fraught with danger. Even during peacetime, with perfect weather, fully trained teams, executing well rehearsed tasks, people get hurt or die conducting training or operations.

The wonder is how so few get injured,

Over my 32 years of active and guard service, four deployments, can think of three occasions where I could have been injured, wounded or killed. There were probably more where I had no clue I was in danger, but lucked out.

You actually *believe* that THIS administration (or virtually any other) is going to put out accurate information, especially when whatever happened, or is claimed to have happened in what is essentially a war zone??

ROFLMAO

I suggest you review the contents of this story, which was first presented as “hero saves comrades lives, loses his own”:

I was Army ADA, but I recall reading stories of multiple deaths at Ranger School from hypothermia. Even if the water was "warm", hypothermia was still a risk to those SEALS.

Farthest I got was Airborne School. I had a few classmates trying to talk me into going to Ranger School. I knew my limitations, i.e. I wasn't a runner, and didn't perform well on just an hour or two of sleep a day.
