Many of the illustrations contain images of women (operational, training, off duty gatherings, etc). This is nonsense.
I don't object to women in any role for which they are qualified - physically, psychologically, etc. But, no woman has ever successfully completed the SEAL pipeline.
One woman has completed SWCC training.
One woman has completed Army SF selection. Another completed the officer selection program and was (correctly) awarded her green beret years later after being (unjustly) denied the privilege.
Roughly 100 women have completed Ranger selection.
No woman has become an Air Force PJ.
One woman has become an Air Force CCT.
I suppose the women depicted in the video might be NSW support personnel - logistics, Intel, cryptology, linguists, etc. That's not what I infer the illustrator's intent to have been.
Trad bros - don't think I'm on your side. Generally speaking, that is definitely NOT the case.
Woke folks - not a huge fan of your act, either.
The side I am on, is an honest representation of whatever is being discussed. Sometimes, an honest representation is that the baddest MF on the block is a woman, or a gay person, or a trans person. Sometimes, the most deeply thoughtful and soulful person you know is an atheist or observes a religious tradition different from your own. But, in a discussion of Navy SEALs, honesty demands that, as of this moment, it be accurately represented as a male-only community.
