my hat goes off to him.
its one thing to be a SEAL, its another thing to be one until age 60.
if you have the love of the job, i guess age means nothing, good on him for helping set up the structures that will keep SEALs going

In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
