Pentagon Approves Drug Addiction and Violence by Navy Seals

There are more and more reports of problems in one of the most elite categories of the American military - the so-called SEALs (Navy Special Forces). Sexual violence, massive drug use, and simply the murder of civilians - these are the marks of American special forces around the world. Why is the Pentagon unable to stop this trend?

Among the latest leaks on this topic is a recent publication by CNN. The channel, citing a high-ranking American military man, claims that violations of discipline in the ranks of the US Navy's special forces continue and are far from isolated. For example, an entire platoon of the SEALs team, carrying out tasks in Iraq, is recalled to the States in connection with sexual violence and the use of alcohol.

Another precedent took place last year in Virginia, where members of the SEALs were convicted of using cocaine and other illegal substances. And three years ago, a "cat" with 14 years of experience was caught by the police when he tried to import 10 kilograms of cocaine through Miami. By the way, he devoted most of his military career to participation in anti-drug operations.

We already described these and other problems of the US special forces at the beginning of this year. At the time, US Navy Deputy Chief of Staff Bill Moran was optimistic that SEALs were demonstrating the ability to cope with problems. For this, in particular, they began to explain to big grown guys that … it is not good to use drugs.

But, as you can see, this belief works poorly. Numerous tests for "dope", which are passed by the US Navy soldiers, regularly reveal illegal substances in their bodies - from marijuana to cocaine and ecstasy. Seal commanders sound the alarm, believing that they have at least serious discipline problems. The use of drugs in elite special forces units is massive, which the servicemen themselves admit, believing that this is normal.

Why is the US military, with all its might, unable to cope with this problem in the ranks of one of the most elite units?

Some reasons lie on the surface. In particular, the load on the American special forces is very high. Trying to grasp the immensity, the Pentagon's leadership has deployed special forces (including SEALs) in 138 countries around the world. Military personnel are under intense physical and mental stress. To relieve stress, military personnel begin to use drugs.

Many are trying to explain the same ugly behavior of the American military (not only special forces) when they are outside the United States. We all remember the well-known complaints of the citizens of the Baltic states that drunken American defenders of democracy in broad daylight in the city center publicly urinated on flower beds. Massive complaints are received about the behavior of the American military in Japan and South Korea - up to and including the rape of schoolgirls.

But the main thing is, as military experts would say, weak educational work with personnel, the lack of organized assistance in the fight against stressful conditions. And one might even say - incorrect educational work.

To begin with, every American from school is taught the idea of their exclusivity and superiority. The country's leadership is also broadcasting about this from the high rostrum. Having expressed a desire to serve the Fatherland, having passed the most difficult tests, former schoolchildren who have fallen into the special forces of the Navy, thereby receive another confirmation of their own exclusivity. This is further cultivated in them throughout the service.

And then these "exceptional fighters" are sent to various parts of the world to carry out special tasks. And they use weapons as God wants to. Trying not to engage in armed clashes, at the first danger they call in aviation and direct it to a likely source of threat, which is often located in a populated area. The number of local residents killed in this case and the composition of civilian losses (old people, women, children) absolutely do not bother the champions of democracy.

The command almost never surrenders its military to local justice, regardless of whether they are guilty of certain crimes. And he does it quite legally. It is a widespread practice according to which the United States concludes an agreement with the administration of the country of presence that no American serviceman can be brought to trial by local authorities (the most famous examples are Japan and South Korea). Such military can only be tried by an American military court.

And one cannot say that he does not judge. But the cases of real prosecution of American war criminals in comparison with the number of crimes committed (including the murders of civilians) are scanty.

This state of affairs brings the American "specialists" understanding of their "peculiarities" to an even higher level. The following analogy is unlikely to be a great exaggeration. In fact, the US command endows its military with indulgences, like Hitler, who announced to his soldiers that they can do whatever they want on enemy territory, burn, rob, rape and kill. The Fuehrer promised to answer for everything on his own.

And then these "specialists" go to carry out special operations in settlements, where they shy away from their own shadows at night. And therefore, without hesitation, they open fire on any silhouette that meets on the way

If someone thinks that we are making our readers creepy, there are a lot of examples.

So, on January 29, 2017, the sixth team of "seals", with the support of aviation, stormed the village of Yakla in Yemen, conducting a secret operation authorized personally by Trump. Based on intelligence, they attacked the village in hopes of capturing al-Qaeda leader Qasim al-Rimi, who was not actually there. But the village, which was at war with the Houthis, had quite efficient self-defense units. Suddenly attacking the village, the "seals" encountered strong opposition from these detachments, who believed that the Houthis had attacked. Having suffered losses, the Americans, as usual, called in the aviation. The airstrikes killed six women and 10 children under the age of 13.

This was not the first time that residents of the remote Yakla area have lost family members to American attacks. So, in December 2013, as a result of a drone strike on a wedding cortege, 12 civilians were killed. The list goes on. Nobody was brought to justice.

It can be assumed that it is precisely this feeling of exclusivity and impunity that is the basis of the outrages and crimes of the American military abroad

All this gradually, with the building up of the US special forces groups around the world, lined up in a certain worldview. Moreover, it has developed into a system of values and traditions established in the units of the American special forces, which contradict both the requirements of manuals and regulations and the requirements of laws. The main thing is not to get caught!

What can we expect from the "dumb-ass" exceptional "superman" with the right to kill, which was delegated to him by the command and the government? There is reason to believe that in this way more than one generation of units of the American Special Operations Forces (MTR) was brought up, bringing freedom and democracy around the world.
