> it makes more sense to have those that are more intellectually strong run them.
Ridiculous implication that Naval Special Warfare is somehow “intellectually weak” when there are multiple Trident wearers who have qualified as astronauts or went on to Ivy League schools.
How do you get that implication? Did I say they were weak? "More strong“ just means they are stronger. I'm sure there are lots of geniuses in the seals as well but I would have to guess that nuclear physicists are on average smarter.
