This is a story that I found about SEALs, a bit OT but I think it is interesting so adding it here:
Was just lurking on /k/, which is mostly filled with American gun-wielding neckbeards and few veterans along with shills from other countries. One thing i found that was a constant among them was their hate for SEALs for being drama queens and over-glorified to a point of outright lies. There was this thread about Chris Kyle, i think everyone was aware of him and while discussing them I found this very interesting set of posts so sharing it here:
This is how it all started :

Also, about Operation Red Wings :

SEALs not only suffered heavy casualties to a point i think almost all of the first team got wiped out but also left a few of their teammates to die, it was not until the second operation Red Wings 2 was initiated to bring back their bodies and rescue whoever was left.

One of the highlights that I found and could co-relate was, remember Major Jacob's statement of likes of the SEAL who prefer using insertion and less 'walk' and so on? The same story can be reflected above.
Also, that most of these people speak highly of Delta force and said how even Green Berets tried to water down their training procedures to get more 'Special forces'. This one is interesting, albiet that Indian SFs are not there yet we are facing a similar issue where 'more is good' being followed without the focus on quality.
