love how 2 people downvote me , but don’t bother to answer the question. I was in the army and “night stalker” isn’t an actual MOS

First google result:

They died for nothing, we had no reason to be there. What was the point?

You’re forgetting that this was the most highly decorated small team action in naval history. And that means that their families get to have a whole lot of pretty medals where their sons used to be. S’all good.

vs. your parents who get to look at your high school equivalency? They’re probably rather you died doing something than living doing nothing.

Jesus Christ! Who wrote that plaque? If you wanna make all that fuss about those dead soldiers, could you at least spell the operation correctly. Goddammit!

No matter your politics, Warriors will always be willing to fight and die for our country. Some even die in training operations (elite troops included). Warriors walk the path of true altruism. Our nation’s priorities are backwards though and pop stars/pro sports get more attention. I blame spending too heavy on the military complex, and not enough on education. That and our obsession with materialism and money.

My eyes are wide open and I walk the same path. I had a short stint in the US NAVY myself (BUD/S Winter CLASS 211 in 1996-1997). I did not achieve the Trident but you do not have to be a SEAL to be a Warrior.
