My Dad, a Marine who fought at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea, NEVER talked about his wartime experiences. I knew he was a Marine. I knew he fought in Korea. But I only found out after he died that he had earned a Purple Heart and Silver Star at Chosin. I asked my uncle why it was never mentioned and he said something akin to "show me a combat veteran running his mouth about his combat exploits.....and I'll show you a straight up liar." He also said that real combat warriors "....just don't talk about it. That's not a rule. It's not written down anywhere. But they all just don't talk." I've heard some mental health folks suggest this lack of discussion is kind of a combat vet's way of putting distance between the here-and-now and what was, for them, a truly horrific and traumatic experience.

My husband was a Marine Corps veteran of the war in Viet Nam. When people asked him about his war experience he would simply reply “That was a long long time ago in a place far far away”. In the 35 years we were together he rarely even spoke to me about it.

Kyle was on my camp right after phantom fury, he shot an unarmed civilian in Khalidiyah. It was witnessed by a tank commander(O-3) that was part of task force 506. The incident was pushed up to our battalion commander (Col Clark), who tried to have Kyle charged with war crimes. Nothing came of it. Their deployment ended and seal team 3 left. Years later I saw his book, he literally talks $hit about my unit. This isn’t the first time the seals were called out for random “shooting” in our AO. The comical part they were literally on camp habaniyah to train Iraqi commandos, yet they were in the towers we didn’t man on the outer perimeter of the camp, shooting into town. Last great Seals story. A battalion plus sized missions is spun up, team 3 turds were too afraid to drive their trucks down route Michigan(IED central 2004-2005) through khalidiyah at night. they had them loaded onto flatbeds driven by our brigades forward support battalion. They got stuck making on corner to turn onto a bridge to cross the Euphrates. Once we got across, they flew in and got their trucks. This entire operation was less the 5km from the camp. Since getting out of the Army, I’ve spent the last +15 years overseas contracting. And while I have met several solid former seals, for the most part it’s a bunch of heavy drinking, unprofessional clowns. That’s been my experience on OGA, DOD and DOS contracts in the middle East and Africa. Anyways, it makes me happy to see the BS being called.

My friend proceeded to tell me that the only way for Kyle could have gotten the kill count he was famous for was: 1. Kyle was lying about his actions. Or 2. Kyle was shooting a lot of innocent people. My friend, who I believe is a man of honor, stated he did not know what the truth was, but he did know that the book and subsequent movie had to have been BS.

And he would smile. I quit asking when I was about 11. Then, when I was old enough, I never took the time to sit and just listen. Huge regret. It is one of my life's biggest.

Anyone who’s been in the military knows how badly award inflation is so common especially for the officers. When I saw how awards were given and heavily associated with rank they really lost meaning and I quickly realized most officers didn’t deserve their awards or did anything all that grand. Bronze stars were given just for deploying to Iraq or Afghanistan. They also got MSM. E-5 and lower you got either an ArCom or AAM depending if your command liked you and if they didn’t like you they would give you a coin for your deployment. Silver Stars were sometimes downgraded to ArCom with V device and officer were always casing CABs and making it hard for lower NCOs and Spc and lower from receiving them.

i deployed with a LRS unit in 08. Three of my staff NCO's and one officer were involved in an investigation for assaulting an Iraqi national.

Probably had a lot to do with me calling them out for their shit bag nature. Still fucking eats away at me.

God I know it has no comparison in importance, but I had my package for the MOVSM, volunteer medal, denied literally due to my rank. Long story short despite my hours, 3500 as a LCpl, was denied because my 1stSgt didn't think it was fair that a Jr Marine got a medal that Most NCOs or even SNCOs never got... She also was upset that i knew what it was and started the routing process by talking and asking my Cpl to help and rout it. Essentially it looked like I was only volunteering that much for the medal and it made it seem like I was telling my Cpl what to do. When I actuality a GySgt, one of the best examples of every Marine is your Marine, helped me. She told me about it. How to request it. to ask my cpl for help and too learn for when it's my turn.

The awards and medals have absolutely been watered down. You can’t take a lot of them seriously. Same thing for combat action ribbons and badges. I know of units giving blanket awards (one citation for the whole unit) when a rocket or mortar landed somewhere on the flight line and nobody was even close.

I'm glad this is being talked about. I would get shit when talking about my one experience with them. they straight up murdered someone and brought conflict on our cop. they got hit by an ied and lost one of their guys. next thing we know their "sniper" was up on the roof, scoped someone in and shot them. saying "he was planting an ied", but our scout and other guards all said bullshit, he wasn't doing anything. after a couple days we had protests, the community stopped talking to us, and we started getting mortared a lot more.

What books or workout programs would you recommend? Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. A woman made it to day 4 of BUD/S first phase recently but she quit on that day. That’s the farthest a woman has made it. Her BUD/S classmates told me that her class hated her and ran her out from under the boat because she was a boat ducker.

I'm British, Royal Marines (Formerly). I've worked alongside many nations forces, so i'll give my 2 pence here. This topic it's a mixed bag, you get your good and bad ofcourse. The shortcoming with the Seals is the fact they can come straight in off civvy street, buds, then they are a seal, so what you have is a bunch of guys, kids also running around with no foundation, no experience, very eager, over zealous, and wanting to kill. They have not put the time in before becoming a seal, that is the issue here. In Britain you can not have worked in a factory, or Mcdonalds 6 months prior to being SF, just doesn't happen. But then everyone in America was SF i found. As for Jocko, he is a trigger happy ego maniac, that makes him a dangerous Commander, reckless, i found more of those in the US forces than anywhere else, very competitive, at the cost of lives.

Ah, it really is the infighting in the SEAL community that is concerning, not the blatant disregard of human lives and the killing of innocent ppl.

It was the same case with Patt Tillman and Jessica Lynch. Military leadership tried to exaggerate their stories with Hollywood levels of bravery on the battlefield. The mindset was throw enough accolades, medals and public attention at individuals to cover up incompetence and failures at the leadership level. Patt Tilmans mother to this day doesn’t believe the Army narrative of how her son was killed, and she ended up reaching out to retired Delta Force Col. Peter Blaber to re-do the investigation from the beginning. Pete was able locate many of Tilmans mates from 2nd Ranger Battalion, and was able to reconstruct the situation on the ground and the decisions the leadership was making at the time. All of which was rooted in complete incompetence and toxic leadership. His new book “Common Sense Leadership Matters” goes really deep into what he uncovered the day Patt was killed.

This is my take on it as a Marine that served in Ramadi around this time. The summer of 2006 was a brutal time in Ramadi. I don't know the specifics of what the seal teams did there but i can tell you the result. I arrived in April 2007, a few months after task force bruiser left. After their deployment and the beginning of mine violence in the city dropped 90% and by the end of my tour in November of 2007 it had flat lined. I dont know of hardly any marines rhat even fired their weapon or hit an IED which is the opposite of the typical experience of marines 6 months prior. Whatever they did whether right or wrong made my deployment very easy. We didnt lose a single marine. More on this... Ramadi wasn't unique in 2007. All violence across Al anbar tanked by the summer.

Wonder why we're still there..?

This is just so concerning to hear. It all adds up to SEAL's behavior I encountered when I deployed with CJSOTF (Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force) in Afghanistan. I was an Infantryman with the 10th MTN attached to a 12 man Special Forces ODA with just my squad. Each squad in the company was assigned to an ODA somewhere in the NE of the country for the entire deployment. A few squads however ended up with some SEALs and they said their behavior pretty much matched this exactly. The marines accounts of working with Delta/SF aswell in the beginning of this was my experience with SF. Extremely fucking professional, always followed ROE's, sometimes actually scared to take chances on some ROE's - I wanted to kill a person I saw I believed to be a trigger man for an IED we just found, I was well within OEF ROE to kill him, I didn't even have to ask to do it but it was still morning, the village we were INFIL'ing into was still asleep, I didn't want to take a shot and ruin our element of surprise - so I asked. The 18D senior really didn't want me to take the shot, even a suppressed MK18 I had would have been loud enough to wake people up but - He was more concerned about me killing someone who was innocent. We did shit that made sense to the war, made an impact, and given SF is mainly unconventional warfare...we prided ourselves on making good connections with the locals and getting them on our side. We were getting into ALOT of gunfights in my AO (more than the entire NE at the time) and a lot of SEALs on PSD (Personal Security Detail) were flown out to us for 2 weeks at a time to get their combat action ribbons, hoping we would take them out to the areas we were having our gunfights. Our vibe, and the vibe with the SEALs - were just not matching up. For one, the newer SEALs wouldnt shut the fuck up about BUDs. Like, we get it dude, but were in combat now so lets worry about the task at hand. You dont hear the SF guys telling Q-course stories, they never spoke about the Q-course at all actually. The other squad working with a whole platoon of SEALs said they never had any real purpose to their ops. Just drive them out to an area, purposely try to get into a gun fight, and then go pick them back up. They never liked the infantry guys, they had no chemistry, they didn't even want them there to begin with (But that wasn't a choice for them to make) and our command eventually got that squad away from the SEALs and sent them off to another SF team. I just never, ever, ever heard anything good about SEALs. Anytime we had a SEAL flown out to us, we would always have this ongoing joke with them and we had to ask them "So, when is the book coming out and did they green light the movie yet?" LOL it was always fun fucking with them but they are so farrrrrr from the professionalism that SF had.

He hated war movies, he hated the Army, he was anti war his entire life. I never truly understood what he went through until I found letters he mailed to his brother from war. I couldn’t believe this man never told his story…even to me! I guess real warriors don’t kill because they enjoy it. They kill because it’s a necessary evil. The difference between true warriors and Jocko are that the true ones still see it as evil….although necessary. Jocko doesn’t see the evil in it and that’s why he talks.

Seals are all drama. I grew up with older military guys saying “if you gotta beat your chest about your work, you probably didn’t do the work” mentality. Now left and right seals are spilling the beans. I remember being in middle school and high school seeing seals talking about how they will never be able to talk about their past deployments.

Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? If you had to go to BUD/S again, how would you prepare differently? What books or workout programs would you recommend? Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. A woman made it to day 4 of BUD/S first phase recently but she quit on that day. That’s the farthest a woman has made it. Her BUD/S classmates told me that her class hated her and ran her out from under the boat because she was a boat ducker. Nine women have entered the SEAL pipeline since 2016.

The SEAL’s in Task Unit Bruiser were unprofessional assholes, they’d often come down to the Gov and just shoot civilians, then head back to their FOB.

@@earlpipe9713 I’d imagine something set up at a very high level. From what I understand, SOCOM has many options with overlapping capabilities. For example, they send Delta for clean surgical hits, or SEALS when wanting to send a particular message, and so on.. Different tools for different jobs, in theory. Different teams attract and recruit certain personality types. This cannot be understated.

I was in Special Operations for 7 years and did deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan from Mosul to the Helmand Province wirh the surge. which was a marine operated base. worked with SEAL Teams, Delta, MARSOC guys, ODA Green Berets, across the board everybody. We never ran into any problems with any of them. But during the surge in the helmand Province being in a marine operated area. We made sure to have a great working relationship with the battle space owners which were the Marines. We had the Marine battle Space Commander come over and hang out with us for a few and give us a nice little thank you and the greatest marine kill em all speach ever. It's just a good idea when you're going to be running ops in another military forces AO to make sure that relationship is solid. We would hit a target and would call in the Marines to come pick up our detainees. I also know what it's like to have a commander who wants to get those numbers up. But when they start taking unnecessary risks such as when I heard the Green Beret say they were doing all of the daylight missions. that doesn't make sense to me at all. I can't remember doing any, and if we were doing it, it was going to be some sort of vehicle interdiction with little birds. When you start hitting targets and patrolling during the day. you're losing all of the technological advantages your playing right into their advantages. It was an interesting perspective. I had not heard from anyone about this . I was in from 2007 to we the ass end of 2013. I will say this though, out of all of the great teams and different Special Operations units out there. I've got to say that the CAG boys are just simply the best. I got to work with those dudes a lot more than the SEAL Teams. As a 75th, you know that's all we want to do is go on to Delta. I mean 75th Ranger regiment is a freaking pipeline to Delta. I think I had four Dudes just from my platoon that moved on. Again it was an interesting take fully understood what he was saying about it. Especially with all of the day hits that they were doing. That's just crazy. let me say this when the sun started coming up we wanted to get the f*** out of Dodge. Because the longer we stay and the more that sun comes up the more likely we were to get into a major firefight.. RLTW 3/75

Corruption in the SEAL ranks has been an ongoing issue. You have to believe this is getting IG attention. Somewhere along the way some portion of the SEAL community fell in love with themselves and their "invincibility". The books, the movies all allowing them to cash in on what should be close hold information about the community. Hopefully, the majority of SEALs are hardworking, professional, patriots

Task units that returned there in latter years served an entire deployment without firing a single shot. War isn't for the faint of heart.
