"While boarding the Dhow in rough seas - such searches are considered among the most dangerous naval missions - one SEAL team member fell into the ocean and a second tried to recover him."
- A Navy Seal drowned? Damn, didn't think they could do that.
  
  The ocean can kill even the most experienced men.
news aside, dear lord there are some serious american imperialism shills in this thread
- Kinda crazy that when it comes to bombing the shit out of the middle east all of the warmonger came put of the woodwork. Would've love to have seen this kind of enthusiasm against russia.
  
  Trump likes Russia, the Dems are helping Ukraine, and the people who get bombed in the Middle East dress funny and have brown skin.
- Typical westoids showing their ass
Now they are with the seals.
- It’s evolution.
Seals are tuskless, they stood no chance against the walrus
- And what about the egg man?
  
  It's hedgehogs the egg man stands no chance against.
- Nothing on Iran trying to sabotage the world?
Just swim, I thought they would cover that in basic training
- Cheap shot
  
  Umm it's kinda their job
  
  They’re paid murderers, fuck it let em all drown.
- If you've ever fallen off a boat into the water and been sucked under that boat and had to claw yourself back out again, you will understand why this is surprisingly non-trivial.
  If you've been awake for 72 hours, jacked up on a pharmaceutical only God and the six most sadistic chemists at the Pentagon know about, and you just pulled yourself up on board a ship in the dead of night after tailing pirates for days, I have to image its even harder.
  The Navy does prefer to kill their best and brightest in helicopter crashes. But its still very possible to get drowned to death on the job.
  
  Maybe try holding your breath 🤷
- Trying to disarm an aggressor is not the same as attacking commercial ships.
  
  Like the Ansar Allah trying to disarm Israel?
  
  Why isn't halting a genocide more important than interrupting commercial shipping to you?
- Sending my nation's professional wet works crew to the other side of the world in order to assassinate some guys who took over a ship flagged to Panama, because it serves a national security interest to keep a cargo ship full of fleshlights from doing an end run around the Horn of Africa.
  And if you question any of this shit, or suggest other nations can do it now too, you are no better than that guy the CIA backed to do freedom fighting in Afghanistan back in the 70s.
