To RISK an inference to a well known chick flick, that note makes me want to be a better man.

There is absolutely no quality that I prize more highly in a person than a capacity for defiance in the face of adversity. This man has it.

Thank you for your service.

Guy's got brass balls.

I printed this out. The next time I feel sorry for myself, I am going to read this and think twice about it.

This guy is a 100% certified badass. The Seals really know how to pick them.

OP: Thanks for posting this. I needed to read this right now in my life.

Now that's a man worth emulating, truly a Great American. Thank God that our country produces Men such as this.

If you should ever see this, my respect to you Sir.

Then again i would expect nothing less from a Navy SEAL.

Needs to be distributed to tadpoles thinking about going to BUD/S. Do you meet this standard?

i think more people have the ability to raise their standards of living. and im Not talking about juicy 401k's and fancy Tv's.

whether mowing the lawn....working...or Spc Operations. etc...

im sick of seeing i wish this ...i wish that...

GO out and Do the very Best you can...every single Fucking day. the World would be a better place...if everyone did this.

and its Guys like this....that raise the Bar...and show the rest that are True Americans...
what can be done.

its all about having fun while doing it.

and Fuck all the Liberal assholes.
i have a Liberal buddy that just got divorced, he is depressed....no job, almot 40.
and told me he wants to kill himself...i guess he thought i was supposed to feel sorry for him...

i Crushed him so fn bad....didn't give him a chance to say anything.
and when i was done. he was so Happy. will it last ? probably not ....and that's to bad.

If he ends up not being able to go back to his team I really hope there's a place for him teaching the new guys at BUD/S.

God bless him!

Wow. Words fail. God bless him.

[#24]

BAMF!
Love it!

He'll be back in the FIGHT soon.

SEAL's get their second wind when the average human has none left.

The fact that there are men out there like this gives me hope for the future of this great country. Not some nebulous form of hope that was promised during the election, but real hope that there are still people who will work towards their goals, no matter what life throws at them.

If I can strive to be 1% the man in life this SEAL is, I will be happy with what I have done, but that 1% is going to take a lot of work.

Thanks SEAL.....

I am literally in awe by men like him. These are the men my son will grow up hearing about from me, these are the type of heroes he will have.

"Where did we find such men? They are typical of this land as the Founding Fathers were typical. We found them in the streets, in the offices, the shops and the working places of our country and on the farm"
When Gov. Ronald Reagan spoke these words he had given examples of selfless bravery of other American men of honor and pride who loved the idea of liberty and considered no sacrifice too great in the pursuit thereof.
As we salute the indomitable spirit of this Navy Seal let us all find the needed resolve to brace ourselves in the coming fight for our freedom and let us know too well that surrender is no option. Live free or die.

Just wow.

Just kind of makes me realize that I am a whiney SOB some times. I curse my coworkers endless optimism and "can do" attitude sometimes. He is retired Navy and has a similar mindset to this SEAL.

Seeing this really makes me realize that I need a severe attitude adjustment.

I hope he recovers fully from his wounds and can get back to the job that he loves so much. The sometimes thankless job of keeping this country safe and free.

Can we chip in and send this guy something?

Posted: 11/22/2008 6:46:16 AM EDT

[#31]

ill chip in.

guys, it doesn't take much to ''GIVE ALL AND ASK FOR NOTHING''.

it can be had at any level in life...when i was younger, even neighbors used to help each other, enjoy time sitting out on a summer night, etc....

now its get out of the way, FUCK YOU.....me me me....im important...
fuck that shit. most Americans are lost...but think thier little world is so fn important. and everyone else sucks.

we are all Americnas...one Team. but that spirit is long gone....
that's sad.
its all fn greed...the new adminitration is going to want to ''change'' everything...
take out Gun Rights away....etc...

I'm pretty sure that this guy forgot how to fail a long time ago. If he hasn't made it through this already (sounds like there was never the question), then it's only a matter of time.

If only we had more people walking around with that kind of an outlook when faced with even more trivial matters.

This made my day.
