I served with the Green Beret for about 5 month. And then went back to my unit. A different breed.

I have walked around Downtown Detroit in the 80s. Does this count?

I played paint ball in college a few times. That's basically the same thing, right?

Years ago worked with a guy. He was a big dude but kinda quiet and soft spoken. You would have never guessed he was a former Ranger.

My experience is that those who saw shit, especially those part of an elite force, don't really talk about it

A guy who was in the group I used to ride bicycles with was a big strong dude who was, let's just say, remarkably physically capable. If you asked him if he was in the military, he would say that yes, he was in the US Navy. I got to know him better some years later, and he confirmed for me the rumor that had been going around was true, he was a SEAL.

Had a Detachment on our ship. Spent most of their time in the EOD hootch and in the gym. While I was in the gym, one guy showed up, did a basic stretch and then hopped up on the pull up bar-did 70 pull ups. They have a better than you arrogance. Don’t blame them.

Never got me laid but got a pal a hummer once....

My BIL was a career Navy submariner officer. Spent most of his time on fast attack boats. He was on several missions where they deployed SEAL teams. His only comment was “They are different”

What the **** did you just ****ing say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ****ing words.

You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, ****er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ****ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ****ing tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

You’re ****ing dead, kiddo.
