SEALs: More Than Just Snipers

%embed1%

After your friends and family see the new American Sniper movie this weekend, have them check out this video as a reminder that Navy SEALs do a lot more than just long-range shooting. Whether the mission is on sea, air or land, Navy Special Operations play a critical role in the United States' first line of defense.

Civilians sometimes have incredibly short term memory about just how the military works and a lot of them probably don't remember that SEALs carried out the operations depicted in movies like Lone Survivor, Zero Dark Thirty and even Act of Valor. You can also send them to watch the PBS documentary Navy SEALs - Their Untold Story or read ex-SEAL Dick Couch's excellent book that's a companion to the series.
