But not by much.

Oh, I’m tough enough to survive the truck trip with the SEALs from White Beach to Kadena and then take the black eye for the privilege of the SEALs allowing me to stay at their place. Lots of countries have units called SEALs. I’m just curious how the Thai SEALs stack up. And I need to tell you that overall I am impressed with the Thai military and naval forces. I just have never met a Thai SEAL.

What I meant to say is I don’t still don’t know how Thai SEALs compare to our SEALs. I should. But I can’t know everything.

I know how the Danes compare.

…and the JMSDF Special Boarding Teams (SBT) and a few others.

I just never worked with the Thais long enough to form an informed opinion.

Thailand has its own SEALs. He was in their program.

There are far less dangerous ways to build team spirit and confidence in overcoming difficult situations.

“The Tham Luang Nang Non caves are known locally as off-limits, a dangerous place where parents warn their children not to go into, especially during monsoon season.”

Brave man, certainly. But a SEAL?
