<p>Okay, let’s propose a hypothetical situation. A SEAL team, deep in enemy territory, is compromised when a group of civilians wanders upon them. The team does not have the benefit of any outside communications whatsoever. Their next contact with outside forces will be at extraction a couple of days later and many miles away. To merely release the citizens is an almost guarantee of death to the entire team. Dragging the civilians with them would certainly compromise their position. Scrubbing the mission or calling “time out” is not an option. Is there anything in the USNA selection and training process that would make a USNA grad more informed in making a decision than a typical OCS grad?</p>
