To think about all the Navy Recruiters who are about to have 10,000,000 SEAL applicants...... Enjoy!

Wouldn't be surprised if they do. Still wondering why they didn't have a recruiter locator at the end of Act of Valor, lol.

The numbers only count (at least for Uncle Sam's Misguided Children) when they graduate recruit training. If they no grad u tate, then the kid don't count
My son was in the 2/3 and active in these operations. Read the book for the facts or attend the movie for the entertainment value. I attached a link for those that have interest in the book.
Victory Point: Operations Red Wings and Whalers - the Marine Corps' Battle for Freedom in Afghanistan by Ed Darack
In late June 2005, media sources recounted the tragic story of nineteen U.S. special operations personnel who died at the hands of insurgent / terrorist leader Ahmad Shah--and the lone survivor of Shah's ambush--deep in Afghanistan's Hindu Kush. The harrowing events of Operation Red Wings marked an important--yet widely misreported--chapter in the Global War on Terror, the full details of which the public burned to learn.
VICTORY POINT reveals the complete, as-yet untold, story of Operation Red Wings (often mis-referenced as "Operation Redwing"), and the follow-on mission, Operation Whalers. Together, these two U.S. Marine Corps operations (that in the case of Red Wings utilized Navy SEALs for its opening phase) unfurl not as a mission gone terribly wrong, but of a complex and difficult campaign that ultimately saw the demise of Ahmad Shah and his small army of barbarous fighters.
