has been documented...the Seals lost 46 men in Nam...their kill ratio was 200 times that amount...
The SEAL teams experienced this war like no others. Combat with the VC was very close and personal. Unlike the conventional warfare methods of firing artillery into a coordinate location, or dropping bombs from thirty thousand feet, the SEALs operated within inches of their targets. SEALs had to kill at short range and respond without hesitation or be killed. Into the late sixties, the SEALs made great headway with this new style of warfare. Theirs were the most effective anti-guerrilla and guerrilla actions in the war.
Many of the SEALs traveled through the bush barefoot, so as not to leave a trail. They would sometimes lie still for hours waiting for the enemy to come long to ambush.
