To Rescue Captain, U.S. Snipers Held Steady Despite Many Moving Parts (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/14/world/africa/14sniper.html?scp=3&sq=knives&st=cse)


Jamey Cummings, another former member of the Seals who is now an executive headhunter, said most Seal platoons of 16 had at least two snipers who were essential to the tactics of the group. “It’s a common misperception that Seals like to sneak up on people and use knives on them,” he said. “If you have to do that, the mission was probably not planned that way.”

Meanwhile, in the world of SEAL-oriented video games knives are also being used:


Richard Marcinko, aka Demo Dick aka a crazy bastard. The man created Navy SEAL Team Six, the counter-terrorism arm of the SEAL teams. If you don’t know much about him I suggest reading his autobiography, it’s interesting. Or you can get a nice idea of how the man views the world via his new video game Rogue Warrior from Bethesda Softworks.In Rogue Warrior you get to fill the shoes of Demo Dick himself, voiced by Mickey Rourke. Needless to say there is a lot of swearing, shooting, and stabbing. It’s fun.
