Pentagon Describes Fight That Killed SEAL Charles Keating IV

It seems that the role of the SEALs has transmogrified over the years, since Vietnam. We are using specially trained operatives for combat, and as much as they may want to be the tip of the spear and be in the fight, that wasn't the original intent. It would be difficult to imagine how much training this warrior had and unlimited expertise in "sneak and peek" and covert operations to be used in a situation such as this. RIP, Chief.

Fair winds and following seas, Chief.
