A few years ago, I met a UDT guy. He was very aggressive in saying he was a frogman, not a SEAL. They guy I met told me about some interesting intelligence missions during the Taiwan crisis in the late 50s, but he wanted me to understand exactly what he did and didn’t do.
The only one that we know for sure that prefers to tell people that he was a SEAL, instead of preferring the name of the elite unit that he specifically served in, and where he earned his pay, is Jesse Ventura.
