The Etymology of “Seal Team 6”

2 Comments

When former U.S. Naval Commander Richard Marcinko developed the concept of the U.S. Navy Component of the Joint Special Operations Command Seal Team 6, it was only himself and another person he had recruited personally. The specific intent of this decision was designed to cause enemy combatants to become confounded as to where the 4 additional members of the 6 person team were located after a mission had successfully been accomplished or discovered, failed, and aborted (e.g. enemy combatant discovering evidence of tampering with equipment therefore reviewing security footage etc.). This purposeful misdirection of information has proven to be an incredibly beneficial strategic tactic for the U.S. military as the psychology of war at its core is primarily the withholding of true information and the spread of false propaganda

Everything performed during espionage is illegal as the act of espionage itself is by definition illegal which is why the imaginary concept of a “license to kill” is irrelevant and redundant as any execution performed during a spy operation is considered a legal act by the state of the officers nationality (e.g. the U.K., the U.S., France etc.), as these actions are always considered prudent and necessary of an officer in the field being that officers have extensive training for situations which they may encounter during a mission

The Purpose of U.S. Military Black Operations

The term “black ops” refers to “any operation which is unconventional”. While the government of the United States of America denies the existence of black ops, the “Top Secret: Tier 1” status of a black ops mission can only be approved to go ahead at the highest levels of government, involving either the President or Secretary of Defense. The idea of a black ops mission is to deliver a scalpel instead of the traditional hammer of war, working at the hand of the U.S. without the U.S. being accountable for that hand; essentially an organization which is stateless, borderless, and with complete immunity and impunity of the law
