Why did the US navy name their special forces after such a cuddly unthreatening maritime animal?

>>63886154 (OP)
They swim good and SEALS' speciality is supposed to be swim good operations, but has since just become general "hurr di dorr operator".
Also seals are fat, as are americans.

Seals are dogs of the sea and dogs strike terror into thirdies.

>>63886154 (OP)
>a cuddly unthreatening maritime animal?
Seal hands = confirmed

>>63886154 (OP)
Seals do whatever they want with impunity

>>63886154 (OP)
So you think the Navy SEALs were named after the seals you see at the beach? Hahaha - no, my friend.

>>63886178
also:
they cute

>>63886173
Unfair, leopard seals are nothing like their generally flubbery and adorable seal relatives but are terrors or the sea and haunt nightmares.

>>63886186
>>63886178
They scream like retards though, and they do this a lot.

>>63886189
pfft drown ONE cunty marine biologist and behead every penguin you see and suddenly you're a terror of the sea

Seals are very threatening.

>>63886232
So you think Seal's song "Every Time I'm With You" is about times spent with a loved one and not Seal telling you that he exists at all places across all times? Hahaha - no, my friend.

that's what they want you to think

>>63886178
That's a sea lion. Seals can't walk on land like that, they just kind of scrunch then unscrunch like worms.

>>63887339
They picked that abbreviation it for its nautical connotation. Why does Sea get two letters? They Should be called Navy SALs

>>63887986
I saw a guy slap one of those

>>63886178
LOOSE SEAL

>>63891601
Because SEAL sounds better.

>>63891635
Did he survive? Because the larger Seals and sea lions are basically floating grizzly bears.

>>63891601
Pre-planning for space combat, it'll be Sea-EVA-Air-Land

>>63891720
Yeah it was laid down on its front surrounded by about 20 others. Lads would dare each other to slap the big one in the middle but only one person was daft enough to do it, theres a video somewhere. Theyre super loud.

>>63891720
>floating grizzly bears
Evolutionarily, they are bears that returned to the water. As are whales, but they went back at a far earlier date.

>>63891856
Whales are more advanced/specialized hippos.

>>63891849
Penguins were way cooler they lived where the seals couldnt...minefields.

>>63891885
Or were they less afraid of being exploded than they were of what the Seals would do to them?

>>63891895
Go ask them

>>63886154 (OP)
Future proofing in case the SEALs ever became a joke. Pretty smart.

>>63891867
To say bear or hippo as the genetic ancestry of whales is really just a place holder to a common frame of reference. The true genetic predecessor is extinct, or so far divergent from the bear or hippo as to be only tangential. But you get me. It's the rest of the ignorant, unwashed mouth breathers itt I worry about.

>>63891943
Bears are caniforms, closer to dogs while the hippos are closer to cows. You need to trace really far back for their common ancestors.
Just pointing out that the whale's more immediate ancestor is closer to cows than to bears.

>>63891807
I've seen video of some guys attempting to do the same to a leopard seal, until it heard them, turned toward them, bared it's teeth, and started doing it's best impression of a Jurassic Park velociraptor. The video ends with them realizing what a horrible idea that was, and running away after the third threat display from the torpedo with teeth.

>>63892039
Found it.

>>63891974
I can accept that, if you can stipulate that the walrus is aligned more closely with the brown bear than a cow.

Actually she probably thought that the diver was some REALLY retarded juvenile leopard seal and was trying to show it how to hunt and was getting sad because it wouldn't eat.

This. Seals are top-tier predators in their weight class. It takes an orca or a human to give them a run for their money. Or other top-tier relentless murder predators.
