And yes, these USA guys trained in Canada, up near Jasper to be specific.
The SEALS and a lot of the other special forces operators like JTF2 have the same kind of arrogance as fighter pilots. They know that they are in the top 10 percentile in the world at what they do, the seals maybe a bit higher.

And if you can make it through the training that they go through, any fear that you have of anything is pretty much gone.
