US Navy Seals are responsible for training Seal teams around the world. Their methods and rigor are copied by every such force in the world.
US Navy Seals may not have led this effort, but we can be assured those Thai Seals would pay respects to US Navy Seals for their training.
There were Americans on the scene though at the rescue site.
Some former US Seals were talking on FOX Sunday about the Thai Navy Seals - gave them high marks. Said also that language was not a problem - the Thai Navy Seals spoke English well. The US trains with them on what SEALS normally train on - combat & salvage operations. Cave rescue was something ‘new’ for all of them, but it was handled professionally & well, thus the good outcome.
“There were Americans on the scene though at the rescue site.”
For sure. And, they probably have already quietly left and are on their way back to their units.
