(8 posts)Having served in the US Navy and worked directly with SEAL team 4 & 8 this man is no racist. You may not agree with his politics but he is no racist. Don't sink to the level of your opponent argue the facts.
I was not ever nor ever have I claimed to be a SO. I was an IS based out of NAS Oceana and attached to CVW-8. During incidents occurring in Bosnia in 1995-97 I was TAD (traveling around drunk) to provide up to date intel using TARPS photo's and KEH-11, KEH-12 satellite imagery. I was AC qual'd and feet dry with the teams.

(11,101 posts)He's as far right as you can get. He grew up well-to-do and before joining the Navy he was a typical clueless fratboy. He's not a klansman, but he's definitely an elitist and has that "blacks are all on welfare" mentality of a lot of the clueless sons of the nouveau riche. I am proud of him for serving his country but he's not a nice person. I can't speak for all the SEALS you know, but I can speak for that one that I know very well.

With powerful enemies like these....
If it weren't for his former affiliation with Seal Team Six, nobody, not even this guy's dog, would pay attention.

Excerpts from the President's speech ..
Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.
<snip>
Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who've worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. The American people do not see their work, nor know their names. But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.
We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country. And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.
