Addressing some myths about Navy SEALs

[NavyDem]

I thought I would pass along this link for those that are interested in the Navy SEALs.

http://cyberseals.org/realitycheck.html

Cyberseals.org is a site "run by SEALs, and primarily for SEALs, is dedicated to the REAL OPERATORS - men whose personal sacrifice and perseverance through what is generally acknowledged as the toughest military training in the United States, and arguably in the world, has earned them the right to use the title "US Navy SEAL" and wear the coveted SEAL Trident emblem."

They hang out on coastlines?

3. This worn out old infantryman doffs his hat to the SEALS.

4. amazing information

About amazing heroes. I read about the Medal of Honor recipient Mike Mansoor. He was a SEAL who threw himself upon a grenade to save others in Iraq. At his funeral, SEALs lined up on both sides of the coffin and as it went by they removed their SEAL Trident pins and embedded them into the top of Mikes coffin. The top looked like it had gold inlay from all their pins when they finished.

5. In Addition to Mansoor

LT Michael P Murphy (MOH Recipient, POSTHUMOUSLY) has recently had a Navy ship commissioned in his namesake. The USS Michael P Murphy, an AEGIS Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG 112) was christened by his mother.
