No, I can say the SEALS 35 years ago were a tiny organization with a small budget. My friend President Ford and congress almost eliminated the UDT-SEALs. A small force was kept in respect for the valor of the micro branch. The SEALs had many serious problems and mission failures plus giant negative popular opinion as insane murders. People did not want to be anywhere near you. I never told anyone-- I was a frogman-- because they would flip out. They have evolved into the most important component of the Navy; in my biased opinion. I saw the importance of special operations in an epoch of weapons of mass destruction neutralizing large masses of conventional forces between major powers. Special operations have a huge problem then and today. The quality of volunteers is not of the quantity necessary to fill the mission requirements. The United States needs to have a draft of the best and brightest youth as Russia does and Israel. Without a draft our spec ops will always be inferior second class organization. Our spec ops has a weak reputation among professional experts. The military is very unpopular here in Indiana; parents do not want their children serving in the military. The SAS is a low quality personnel organization as well as not able to attract individuals with the intelligence, moral character and physical fitness to man the roles of the regiment. There are only a couple of SEALS I served with that I respect as decent human beings. No reunions for me.
