They don't show off "alleged skill"; they don't need to. Ever met a real cracker? They don't brag; that's for script kiddies. But if a system needs to be broken, they'll do it. SEALs are the same way. They know what they can do. They've proven it to the people who matter -- their instructors and their buddies. They don't have to show off to some random wanker in a bar, because he doesn't matter. Both their basic mindset and their training are pretty much the antithesis of doing stupid things with weapons. A SEAL too drunk to stand is safer than Joe Average at his best.
exactly! been married to a Ranger, dated more than a few SF, son was a SEAL. caged energy they are
