But SEAL's are better at swimming and explosives. [quote]One afternoon while playing with a friend in the yard, the young Greentree was scolded by his mother. "Be quiet like a SEAL," said Vivian Greentree. His friend immediately replied — as one would expect from a 7-year old. "Ninjas are quieter than SEALS." And thus, a monumental argument began. WHO is quieter? Ninjas or SEALS? SEALS or Ninjas? Greentree wrote a letter to McRaven, and McRaven wrote back with an answer: "I think ninjas are probably quieter than SEALs, but we are better swimmers, and also better with guns and blowing things up."[/quote] I love that the kid used "V/R", and that Admiral McRaven used it too. For a stone-cold hardass he's sure got good character. [spoiler]V/R means "Very Respectfully" and is reserved for speaking to a superior. For an Admiral, especially the one in charge of SOCOM, to use V/R to anybody but the President is pretty unordinary. [/spoiler]
