Agree with most, but, why do these guys get the flag at half staff, when thousands who died before, did not.
(I am a vet.) If the flag lowering was publicized as symbolic as well to respect not only for the SEALs but also for ALL who had died before, I’d be with you on this.

I see your point. It still bothers me. There were so many lost at once.

Do the SEALs go through more extremely intense training and encounter more dangerous situations then the norm?

It would be nice for these people to remember that a bunch of other GIs died along side the navy guys.
