According to Global Network citing the " New York Times " report on September 1, the Navy SEALs have once again been caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because the latest news pointed out that a candidate for the force died during the selection process. It is reported that the candidate for is Kyle Mullen, who is only 24 years old. Prior to that, he was a football player and won state championship awards. After entering the famous Yale University, he not only completed his studies, but also served as the captain of Yale University's football team. He was a "winner in life"-until he chose to join the Navy SEALs.
In order to join the SEALs, he chose to participate in the famous Basic Underwater Demolition (BUD/S) training in , California, and this training also has a more famous name-"Hell Week". There were 210 recruits in their batch who wanted to join the SEALs and participated in "Hell Week", but halfway through the training, 189 of them had chosen to ring the bell and give up. But Kyle did not give up. He chose to persevere with the remaining ten or so people, but this was perhaps the worst choice he had ever made in his life: On the last day of Hell Week, he trembled from the cold sea water After getting up, the officer gave him a piece of pizza and asked him to go back to the barracks to rest. And when he lay on the floor of the barracks and closed his eyes to rest, he never opened his eyes again...
This incident attracted great attention from the US military, and forensic doctors from within the army quickly intervened and conducted an autopsy on him. The results proved that he died of severe pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pyogenes . According to other soldiers participating in the training, Kyle's physical condition was very bad in the last few days of training, especially after the training ended, he even needed to sit in a wheelchair to move around, but no instructor or medical staff asked him to come. Infirmary inspection, as this is seen as "weakness" and "giving up" among SEALs. In addition, another recruit who participated in Hell Week at the same time as Kyle also had difficulty breathing. He was sent to the hospital after emergency help and is still hospitalized.
Kyle's mother cried in an interview and said, "The medical team, instructors and major (commander) in training all stood aside and watched him vomit blood. It was you who killed him." She also questioned the SEAL team " "Ring the bell and give up" mechanism means "they can only do it if they ring the bell and give up" Receive reasonable medical aid.” It is worth mentioning that the US Navy also discovered that Kyle had taken stimulants to pass training, and launched an investigation into all the soldiers who participated in the selection. The results were surprising: was receiving More than 40 of those selected tested positive for doping and drugs.
Former SEAL member and CIA officer Jeff Butler also pointed out that the purpose of Hell Week training is to test the psychological endurance of soldiers and allow them to exceed their own limits. This is also a ritual for joining the SEALs. However, during this training, the medical staff did not discover in time that Kyle's physical condition was abnormal enough to threaten his life. This is also an objective fact. Therefore, in this tragedy, the U.S. Navy is obviously the first responsible party that cannot escape.
It is worth noting that according to a former Navy SEAL, more than 17 sailors have died during training and selection in the past 20 years, including Derek Lowe, who drowned alive during swimming pool training in 2016. Fleiss. In fact, during the selection and training process, the number of SEALs killed even exceeded the number killed in combat, which shows how high the casualty rate is.
For the U.S. Navy, the SEALs can be called the "facade", but if this "facade" is based on the destruction of a large number of recruits, inadequate medical support, and a large number of "traditional" but unreasonable " Ceremony, recruits even need to take drugs to pass the training, so we can't help but ask: Why does the United States, which likes to advertise itself as a "beacon of human rights", run counter to the idea of human rights in the selection of its special forces?
