one got knocked off by high waves.
comrade Poseidon
Let's look at the track record:
Caligula vs Poseidon : Poseidon W
Billionaires in submarine vs Poseidon : Poseidon W
European yatchs vs Poseidon : Poseidon W
2 Yankistani SEALs Poseidon? You better believe Poseidon W
I don’t get why it’s always sky gods taking the top spot, ocean gods are scary mf’ers
Sky Gods: Here's some lightning every now and then, maybe a few will hit some people occasionally, I dunno, whatever. Be scared by the thunder I guess.
Ocean God: DROWNING DROWNING DROWNING constant DROWNING crushing pressure FISH PISS
It's cause ocean gods make sense while sky gods are fickle.
"Why'd jaesop drown?" "He went out in a storm, angered the ocean".
"Why'd Aesop get struck by lightning?" "Shit I dunno, better sacrifice a deer or something."
This is too logical a response to be true, but it makes a lot of sense.
Also: imagining a guy who’s super devout to the forest god and goes to pray during a storm. Gets hit by lightning. “Ah shit, we better not pray to the forest god during a storm or sky god gets hella jealous”.

The SEALs were on an interdiction mission, climbing up a vessel when one got knocked off by high waves. Under their protocol, when one SEAL is overtaken the next jumps in after them.
Wholesome! The US navy has enshrined a suicide pact!
Lmao that's the dumbest fucking doctrine to instill into grunts. "Yeah if we have a MOB you gotta go overboard too, definitely the best course of action. Under no circumstances should you stay on the vessel and use it to search for your partner, we'd rather have to find both of you"
pity they don't follow this protocol to it's logical conclusion and just all jump into the ocean, one after another

How fucking indoctrinated do you have to be to intentionally jump into the ocean with no hope of rescue just to drown alongside the guy who didn’t know how to hold onto the boat properly?
literal skill issue
Under their protocol, when one SEAL is overtaken the next jumps in after them.

omg please pray for these brave - LOL fuck them wet work goons enjoy the trip to davey jones locker you fucks
Funniest part is they got owned by either Somali fishermen or Houthi fighters. Also the US are such fkn hypocrites to scream about Yemenis interdictions off the coast of Yemen when the US has been covertly doing it in the same area for the past decade. This isn't US waters, ridiculous. The US only ever talks about it when their SEAL teams get owned and there are too many questions.
it seems like they just got owned by the sea
the one thing they're really supposed to be good at
Imagine calling yourself a seal and then fucking drowning
Hey quick Q, why were there US Navy seals that far from the US?
Because back in the late 90's after the fall of the USSR the fanatical fascist investor class wanted to take control of the region as a part of their New American Century project to keep the MIC juice flowing. Guess what countries were on the chopping block list?

Weapons on ships boud for Yemen...?
But I thought Iran controlled the Houthis. What is this way off the coast of Somalia in their disputed maritime border with Kenya? Seems a bit out of way for a shipment from Iran.
Cover up the unspoken mercenary war we've been funding and arming for the last decade that no one talks about blame Iran without mentioning because we already programed people to associate Houtis with Iran.
Also we hope you all forgot about that 7 countries in 5 years memo from the Project for a New American Century 9/11 oopsie daisy thing that included Somalia.

In Kenya, soldiers traumatized by the U.S.-backed war in Somalia often face discipline instead of treatment cw shhh war PTSD
In the U.S.-backed war against the militant group al-Shabab in Somalia, Americans wage their battles mostly from the air, with drones.
On the ground, at sweltering checkpoints and in dusty trenches across Somalia’s southernmost states, soldiers from neighboring Kenya do almost all the fighting.
One of them was Christopher Katitu, a low-ranking grunt with the Kenya Defence Forces, or KDF, who spent two years manning a mounted machine gun from a trench in Kismayo, a port city shattered by street-to-street skirmishes over territory. Then, when al-Shabab killed almost 150 students at a university just across the border in Garissa, Kenya, Katitu was sent to the edges of the tense city to guard a highway checkpoint day and night.
A kind of pressure was building up in his brain, one he could not quite place. It was not just the war — money problems were intensifying at home, too, and his wife was angry with him. Through almost a decade in the army, he had never seen a counselor.
On a short leave home from Garissa, Katitu had a mental breakdown. But instead of being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder, he was jailed and court-martialed when he tried to rejoin his battalion.
Since Kenya joined the war in Somalia in 2011, the United States has given its government more than half a billion dollars in security assistance.

To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
