The Left Media is jumping on this story as a chance to say ' SEAL ' training is to hard and dangerous , and they will seize this opportunity to Water down the training
They did the same thing with Marine Corps basic training after about 2000, it really pissed a lot of us off, there was a reason our training was so hard and grueling....it was suppose to make Marines.....
Im not begrudging any Marines that have come after, but its very much watered down

We had a soldier, a captain, get run over by a tank in his sleep at an NTC rotation. # happens during training. It's unfortunate, but it's a fact of life in the military. The job is inherently dangerous without the incoming fire.

Yep. It's not super common but things like that do happen. You don't even have to be a SEAL for the job to be dangerous.
We had recruits in BASIC (I went to Fort Benning) fall out because of severe injuries, heat strokes, and one guy got rushed to the hospital after a 20 mile ruck march. That guy almost died.
That's just basic training for the Army when I was in. And this was 2012.

You guys call it a ruck march? In my neck of the woods we called it humping, is it the same thing? And no I’m not being a smart ass it sounds like the same thing wtf

USAF Basic wasn't "hard" compared to other training, but it was something. My son went through 3 years ago and was in the same group I was in, but said the TI's weren't allowed to swear. In basic training. No, really. The military has changed all over. It's frightening.
