Kid asks how a Navy SEAL compares to a ninja – gets answer from Admiral McRaven

October 5, 2013 | Steve McGough | | ,

Totally awesome.

From Blue Star Families.

Walker Greentree wants to be a SEAL when he grows up. Or a ninja. It depends on the day. He’s turning 7 in October so that explains a lot. But he’s smart as a whip. He comes from a military family and he’s a member of the elite MilKidz Club.

One afternoon while playing with a friend in the yard, the young Greentree was scolded by his mother. “Be quiet like a SEAL,” said Vivian Greentree. His friend immediately replied – as one would expect from a 7-year old. “Ninjas are quieter than SEALS.” And thus, a monumental argument began. WHO is quieter? Ninjas or SEALS? SEALS or Ninjas?

Walker got his answer from US Navy Admiral William McRaven, Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command.

    Thanks Steve, how did you know we needed a break from the abominable president. What a fabulous Admiral and he has just given us another Seal-to-be.
