you get kicked out of any branch of service for drug test. no sympathy here

"SEALS are among the most secretive." The entire US military groans

4:20 hope that guy's wearing a hat or something. If his head is really shaped that way then nothing will conceal his identity lol

thank god for this . ive been dying for somebody to finally do a story like this. im a former ranger and army SF. My younger twin brothers are SEALs. they say THE narcissism in the teams is disgusting. quiet professionalism does not exist in the teams anymore. its a shame. i wish they had taken my route. SF and delta. the REAL quiet pros.

Act of Valor is used to illustrate the violation of quiet professionalism, but that film was produced by Navy SOCOM. All of the SEALS that appeared in that movie were given orders from their unit to participate.

Are these guys seriously blaming movies and games? What a crock of shit. Thats just pathetic and a complete cop out

Most secretive??! Are kidding??! The navy seals are the MOST show off from all the special forces in the world.....

OH Dip Charlie Rose...!!! He should be the last to speak of "quiet professionalism" and the lack of it...SMDH

Pretty obvious drugs are used as a method to cope with the pressure of such a lifestyle

as long as it doesn't affect them or anyone around them while their on the job then it is understandable. they are people just like everyone else, and I'm sure they have problems too

The seals are heros. They get the job done you couldn't in your best dream.

It’s sad cause when stories like this come to surface the problem has already existed long before

solve it yourselves telling it to the media won't help a bit.

SEALs stopped being a secret in the early 90’s when the movie came out with Charlie Sheen, which was written by a former SEAL, Chuck Pfarrer. Say what you want about these recent movies, but it started much earlier.

No matter if you're a Navy SEAL or not these people addicted need help and they definitely should be helped by the VA or something.

THANK YOU to these guys; It's always been my dream to join the Navy SEALs, but all their popularity in media has been a major turn off for me...

Why is this four-year-old story showing up in my feed now?

It is SAD that, for so many generations before these brave guys, men have fought and died for this Country with Courage, Honor and Commitment. As a retired U.S Combat Marine myself, (1988-2011) I have seen the changes across the board period. Begining in 1995, it only worsen in 2008.That is why after 24 Years of dedicated Service, I had to leave. My professional opinion here, Politics and the "New Culture" coming in with Millennials service personnels, are tarnishing the morals and values we once held to a higher standard honored. Semper Fi 🇱🇷

LOL @ "annual drug testing". In fleet Navy we got randomly tested and you could easily be tested multiple times in a week if you got selected in the system.

"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

No such thing as privacy anymore even when it comes to the military

Its been happening for years...They are barely talking about it..SMH...

Any book these former SEALs, or any other former military personnel writes, has to be sent and approved by the Pentagon before printing. They often redact information that the feel is a threat to National Security.

charlie rose and your creepy secret is out too

It's really sad and disheratning to see this type news

If the government doesn't want them to say anything, pay them more not just above minimum wage.

Man come on even our best are going through this crap brothers come on lead from the front

it took two..is a phrase going around other SOCOM units.

And what do you think these guys that are kicked out of the seals/military become?

Quiet Professionals lol 😂 bout the same as a marine or anyone that does CrossFit. Just wait they will let you know.

I wonder why people are picking on the SEALs. I’ve seen a lot of books written by rangers,SF, and even delta, or whatever it’s called.

They are not giving away an information that isn’t already out there....

This is the end result of thirty years of arrogantly self promoting yourselves as the best of the best of the best,.. of the best. And to think these guys were renowned for being low key and secretive. Those days are long gone. It’s both sad and pathetic to witness the self immolation of a elite unit.

Now is it drugs that they’re using or marijuana? Because there is a stark difference

the profiteering from the brand will never stop, ever since the book lone survivor followed by the movie those in business & some in the seal community saw how much money could be made & after a 10-15 year career most of these guys come out with a lot of injuries & not a lot of money so this will never stop, why it doesn't happen with delta to this degree is an interesting question though

go navy

lol Brandon Webb He said The Quiet professional was never ever a "thing" to begin with.

Back through the 90's, I get the feeling that they were much more closed mouth as far as procedures and what they did compared to now where there are people who talk a lot more about it now than they did then! What they are doing is potentially ruining the element of surprise down the road. As far as the drug issues with a handful of individuals, I have to wonder how the environment they are in contributes to the problem, and do they have avenues to be able to blow off steam so they don't get assault or worse kinds of charges? I have to wonder how much of this is from the system?

Love to ALL

Seem to do their job. Depends on the drugs. Wonder how many are on painkillers from the physical abuse their body takes

Hmm let's think ...STRESS

There are only 2 Units that are truly ghosts.. One is at Fort Brag NC,, the other is in Hereford UK

The information age is turning into the age of madness.

The SEALs are drowning on their own fame weakening the Team. I am retired Veteran, when I was in active duty I had the highest respect for Seals. The Seals I met were the silent professionals, but nowadays, the Seals are just a bunch of clowns running around with their fame and ego, making movies glorifying their foul ups on the Lone Survivor, having podcast in You Tube talking about Seal stuff exposing themselves, grabbing fame on shooting Usama Bin Laden. That's not professionalism anymore. A professional military is someone who does their job, get the mission done, go home to the family, and shut the heck up. No need for fame, because the most rewarding is serving this great country of ours.

Exactly

That's old news...

Special Forces are the one's known as "THE QUIET PROFESSIONAL'S!" Not the Loud Mouthed Braggart's like the Seals!

Everyone is crooked every single living person

I've got buddies who were in the military that did meth while stationed in Afghanistan. They talked to me about it. One kid i know was pretty much kicked out of the marines for using roids. his 4 years were just about up when he tested positive for them.

they be smoking at "BUDS"

“Me generation”

man and i did wanted to be so bad a navy seal what a shame

but its totally acceptable to get sloshed on alcohol after a job coz alcohol's a good drug right?

SEAWEED TOO??

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Not the Quiet Professionals .

These guys really should not be revealing that they are or were SEALs at all.

With the new Commander of Naval Special Warfare publicly calling out SEAL’s bad behavior including recalling a platoon attached to ST7.

You can die in war, but you can't get high,who is this guy? Talk about a wet blanket.party hard!

I agree with the the captain. Again I think it’s a generation thing. I’m sure there has been problems before. But I think the current generation is so wrapped up in themselves rather than protecting our great country. I have and will always hold our veterans on a higher pedestal than the rest of our citizens. I am a retired military person myself. I grew up idolizing people who were seals and green berets. We need our youth to continue to idolize these great men.

Not a Word said about Army SF Ssg. Logan Melgar killed by Navy Seals and a Marsoc Raider for Refusing to Take a Bribe. I respect Operators and everyone else that serves, But the Drugs Issue is a Microcosm of Society... We need to focus on Treatment, and Rehab in the General Population. Recruiters are known to look the other way even when are signs of Substance Abuse...

We have no way of telling if these guys are seals... convenient

I hate the media...

In no way is higher than the rest of Navy. Sailors test positive every day, trust me!!

the time traveling lady that usually wears the yellow burka in Washington in this film she walked by only not wearing the burqa but she had her hat on.

Book deals are very lucrative in this day and age.

They are all you-tubers now

Charles Richard Seel - 3rd battalion, 4th Marine Kilo Company, November 6, 1984 - January 29, 2018. Okinawa Japan, I talked to him on the phone two weeks before his death and he told me he knew he was going to die from somebody within, and nobody ever seeked the truth. His words were if you had a militia that was willing to risk their lives would be the only way I would stay alive, I have photos of him on live pictures that the military had taking where he look like he was drowned repetitively, malnourished, beaten neglected, and in the same week another soldier gets an honor for rescuing soldiers on the surf four soldiers to be exact. I want Justice for my brother, as well as his entire family & friends & Navy Seals that seek the highlight of pursuing this opportunity. Even if it's "top secret" that's unjust, documents on google explain of his projects involved in, and instantly changed because of team change. It took them a month and a half to ship his body, and all of the investigating everyone has done was not addressing his life was in danger within his crew, and commanding officer. There is a lot more behind what's going on, but who wants to challenge the Navy SEAL department, like we could really battle something like that without the most finest expensive layer that would take on the US government for a case like this. Even though their are many soldiers like this, unjust answers (suicide) is a lie. I want his records pulled where he told me over the phone that he knew he was going to die. And his commanding officer left insane remarks with extra aggressive comments as well as threats on his ex-wives voicemail, he had just gotten into an argument with his current wife over the issues he just had a son with/ that he had with his personal life interfering with his company or job within the Marines code. I am his twin brother, & I had to watch my mother sit in the corner for 2 years. As an American I was taught to stand up, so here I am standing up for my belief that the only way United we Stand is if somebody will come out and admit the truth. #Trump #CharlesSeel #unmaskthetruth #youknowibelyingwhen #imgoodyo9802 #christopherjeromeseel #NavySeals

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

Grown military personnel having to be spoken to like a bunch of school children. Members should never be allowed to talk about tactics or sell books. Have they no respect for what they do.

let them have some recreational drugs if they can maintain standards

POS

Secretive they’re not secretive! Delta is secretive!

How about Marcus Luttrell and Robert O'Neill, was that gud for em to have the book? For Marcus l will say yes, but for O'Neill 🤔!!!!!

The reason why drug use is on the rise is because its been normalized to use them in society and in entertainment

😂😂😂😂build that wall build that wall😂😂😂

With the operational tempo of the Teams these days it's no surprise that amphetamines are prevalent. It's a tad unreasonable to expect these dudes to get by on just a solid diet and coffee. Not condoning the behavior, but just trying to see it from a more practical light.

These are probably 3 SAS on a covert mission because their tired of SEALs getting all the glory & all the good missions. While they have to rescue aid workers & make movies about failed missions looking for SCUDS.

They give them meth pills...the cleanest dope you can get you have to stay awake for days at a time on missions or die didt you know this

Rangers fight the wars, SEALs write books.

How the fuck else would you be up 18 hours a day and go through intense training again and again?

Change age to 21 before basic any special forces training. Airborne school could be an exception. “Loose lips sink ships” an old US Navy poster. What does a book OR movie or documentary do? It sinks ships. World knows little of SAS, even less about Spetznaz, GSG9, Mossad or whatever they’re called. Our military is suppose to protect the Democratic republic but live under another. What part of national defense and special is so confusing. US should not allow anyone under 21 to even start basic special forces training. Maybe Airborne school. But the other require so much maturity and let’s face it. You people aren’t mature enough to handle such things things. To many kids join to be “extreme”. Green Beret have a good idea in requiring people to be NCO. Which means they’ll have a few years of experience and evals and work performance. The public, who pay attention have known this for 10-20 years. The navy has simply refused to accept it. How many people would be a seal if they had to conceal everything. No identity, no public recognition. Our enemies are better than they would be because they learn our tactics.

Secret squirrels

lol marijuana...oh no xD I bet 100% drink alcohol

The military and police should be drug tested constantly.

The rest of the conventional forces can get drug tested even while deployed... Sounds like a socom issue to me. But at the same time..depending on what drugs they are using.. id give them latitude because they go longer and harder in worse conditions than the rest of us. Not condoning it..but meth was developed for SS troop enhancement...as nasty as it is it gave them a significant edge in ww2. We get "vitamin" packs in the field that assist us as it is.

Most secretive? Nah delta

Seals have become a military crutch to execute more and more missions. They are still “men” at the end of the day.. are people really surprised that people went to a substance to get them through their problems.

all of our special forces training and tactics should be secretive! I don't want to know how / when or why something was done as long as it keeps the children of America safe!

Can you get kick because you smoke??

You should support your brothers well being. Not ratting the team out to a news Network.

Wow how brave! Lol.

They take drugs cause there in pain I assume.

This is news to the civilian population...funny!

That's the blackest navy seals ever!!! Dayum!

Is it any surprise that this generation is lacking in ethics or morality, and yes most frogman nowadays ain't worth half of they're senior members Udt was the best!!!

Pito head

Act of Valor was made BY the freaking Navy. Those active seals in the movie were following orders.

can they use peds?

Whatb does that have to do with drugs?.................everything>>>>>
