KEY WEST, Fla. — The U.S. Army has quietly forced the Special Forces Underwater Operations School to change its unit motto of 'I Can't Breathe' after fifteen years, Duffel Blog has learned.

"To drown-proof combat divers, we make them pass out underwater from lack of air," said Master Sgt. Chuck Tandory, an instructor at the school. "Mentally, it's the most important part of the SCUBA course. 'I Can't Breathe' sums it all up."

Since the same motto has now been adopted by supporters of Eric Garner and civil rights activists, Army leadership has directed the Dive School to step aside to avoid criticism.
