Wasn't this thread pointless the first time it got cranked up?  Probably not the best one to bother bringing back from the dead.



Some of these useless threads never die (just check out the Britain vs. France 2005 thread on the Armed forces board), so might as well have fun with it. I am sure you have a few more Navy SEAL knocks left in you, and seeing how Cerebus seems to have an extreme and kind of weird love of the Navy SEALs, it might could get fun.

I was saying that if any of you normal civilians new about the clandestine paramilitary units that I personally know about you would what to die. It's best to go on living the way they what it to be.



Do you honestly expect any of us to believe that? You come on an open source website claiming that "Navy SEALs are the best in everything" (which no one with any clout would do), then you say that Navy SEALs learn Ninjitsu (false), and then you claim to know of "Paramilitary units" that are so secretive we would want to die if we knew about them (without giving any background info on yourself). My opinion: You have been playing WAY, WAY too much video games (probably splinter cell).

No I dont care if anyone believes I am just telling you the truth thats all. SEALs do learn Ninjitsu if you dont beleve me then do some research maybe it tells you they do some ware, but I know for a fact they do.


Ninja skills huh.  Hmmm.  That must have come out of some post Patilla reforms then.  My research tells me that Pre Patilla they seemed to have had some problems with infiltration techniques, at least once they got past the high water mark. 

Then there's also that tendency to use a rifle like a bullet hose and to consider said bullet hose to be effective cover.

Ultra uber secret special forces that even having knowledge of would make one want to die (assume a person would rather commit suicide than live with knowledge of their existence). Sounds like dark demonic forces of Satanic evil more than a military unit. They should have Bin Laden's head on a platter by now.

I am not going to comment any further on this it was stupid of me to bring it up anyway, but these units I am talking about dont go after what normal military units go after there all Ex Military trained in things I dont want to explane, because they handle things for Agency's for exaple guarding a close secretive base, or for assassinations, personal protection, Hit squad for whatever NSA needs they for or CIA. They know the worlds best kept secrets stuff we will not what to know and is good we dont.

Hah, everyone knows the CIA and NSA are really fronts for the DOE.  I mean, really! think about it..  Who ever talks about the DOE?  No one. 
 
Well, that and the DOE really works for Liechtenstein and their plans of secretly dominating the world

Longrifle, their infiltration techniques are basically the same as every other SOF units infil techniques. SEALs have been very succesful in the WOT (I know..."ROBERTS RIDGE!", well, you might want to look more into that op).
As far as the bullet hose being effective cover, I believe that you are confusing some things here (no offense, of course). SEALs retreat from ambushes by doing something called a center peel or what the SEAL community calls "Leap frogging". Basically, from what I understand of it, you have a line of SEALs (after an ambush). The SEAL in front shoots his weapon until his magazine is empty, then runs to the back of the line (but first, he taps the SEAL behind him to repeat the process, etc). Here's a video:

So, SEALs in my opinion,  have gotten an undeserved bad reputation. Bottom line: These guys get the job done when they are called on to do so, and the media hardly ever picks up on any of it.
