Dead Seals, times have changed I guess

[Corbic]

So weird question or observation.

News is lit about the two missing now confirmed dead SEALs who died conducting operations in the Middle East.

Why is any of this public knowledge?

As a kid in the early 90's I grew up in a Marine family/community. Our neighbor, a Captain, was always on TDY/Travel, my father and him often got into it since he did shit like give his son a .22lr with the firing pin removed to play guns with the rest of us. ANYWAYS

He unfortunately passed away while on a fishing trip in Florida with two of his friends, boat sank off the coast...

Well 20 some years later I find out he actually passed in an operation in SA and he was often doing spooky shit which is why he was always on TDY/Training/travel/fishing.

Seems like in the past we kept a lot of this stuff a lot more hush hush instead of national news.

You're assuming they are telling the real story
