It's a heart warming display for sure but what the hell is going on? Is it a mass display of guilt or a sudden urge of patriotism? Are Seals so special that the public thinks they can't be killed and when they are it comes as a shock? I refer to the movie "Taking Chance" (starring Kevin Bacon) based on the book. It's about a U.S. Marine Major who escorts the body of a Marine killed in action in Iraq back to his home state for burial. The Major was treated with respect when his mission became evident and the body of the Marine was shown respect all the way from Dover AFB to Wyoming including the long ride in the hearse from the airport when civilian cars fell in line with their lights on but "thousands" did not line the streets. I'm not trying to play the blame game or pit one Service against the next. I'm trying to figure out why thousands would line the streets in the liberal bastion of California to pay tribute to a Navy Seal who was killed in action. It should be noted that the two former Seals who were killed in action at Benghazi trying to protect the Ambassador were relatively forgotten.
