I am reading a new book about the Seals called "Eyes On The Target" which inspired this post. This quote in particular caught my attention:

“One of the reasons why the SEALs are so effective is that enlisted men can challenge their officers. In fact, SEALs have debates before missions, during missions and certainly after missions about what to do next. Those debates are open and honest because nothing is off the table. Any language can be used. Anybody can voice an opinion. It’s not simply a top-down operation. Because every man involved in a SEAL operation is thinking and contributing to the thinking of the operation, it’s much more likely to succeed and much more likely to adapt..."

The astute will note that we adopted this methodology in it's entirety from the very beginning of MRP and it is the source of our greatest strength and probably our greatest criticisms from the men (but mostly women). Pestilence such as bloops, manginas, mangina-bloops, and women act together AS A GROUP to oppose at all costs the idea of strong men gathering together to coordinate and collaborate on their ideas and operations.

While this rabble is certainly a very poor and dark imitation of an elite fighting unit such as the SEALS, the similarities remain and some of them are uncanny. On MRP we debate, before, after, and even during the missions. Any man, even the lowest of rank, is free to speak up and call out the commanders at any time. Any language can be used and nothing is off the table. MRP is not a single man acting alone but a unit of men determined to find the solution to the problem of /r/deadbedrooms and yougogirrrl female dominance in marriage and our society by reclaiming our strength and masculinity.

The book details the rugged, masculine, strong, and independent minded nature of SEAL units and the culture of winning at all costs. It talks about masculine sacrifice and that sometimes it takes giving everything for the mission.

Finally, in a story not reported by the MSM (of course not!) it talks about Vice-President Biden bragging how it was Seal Team 6 that took out Bin Laden. Almost all of those men are dead today from a revenge attack on their helicopter. The SEALS blame Biden who forgot (or probably never knew) the First Rule of Fight Club.

When I read the various sayings and Navy Seal Code quoted below I cannot feel but that we are on the right track at MRP. Masculinity is under attack on all sides, and we are the tip of the spear.

The Navy Seal Code

In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed.

Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life.

I am that man.

My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.

My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.

I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men.

Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.

We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.

I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.

We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me – my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.

We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.

Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.
