It would be an awfully short movie – literally it was a done deal in under 2 seconds.

Whatever special forces unit they were a part of I was impressed!! Three shots, three kills off a rubber lifeboat, that would make an awesome movie for sure!!

SEALs are special forces too. Pretty much any highly trained and specialized military unit that conducts asymmetrical warfare is in the Special Forces. The ARMY has Delta Force, Green Berets, and the Rangers. The Navy has the SEALs, SEAL Team Six, and SWCC. The Air Force has Pararescue and Combat Controllers. The Marines have MARSOC and Marine Force Recon. The CIA also has a large group at NCS and SAD. Special Forces are generally under command of their Major Command, but can be centralized under SOCOM during times of war.

They were SEALs not special forces; within the US military special forces means US Army Special Forces or as they are more widely known, Green Berets. SEALs as well as Army Rangers and Marine Recon units all fall under the terminology special operations forces.

Does anyone want to hazzard a guess as to how long it will take to mount a Marine invasion of the pirates land head-quarters if another US crew is involved?

And just like that Obama has street cred… I mean ocean cred. Nice.
