Sailors who are not Navy SEALs finally get to shoot shit

Filed · 1536

YEMEN — A number of American Navy sailors currently stationed off the coast of Yemen, who are not SEAL operators, finally got to shoot at shit, sources confirmed Tuesday.

Despite joining the Navy after watching a number of recruiting commercials featuring SEALs blowing the fuck out of things and shooting bad guys, the sailors on the USS Mason (DDG-87) had unfortunately not been given that opportunity.

That is, until yesterday, when they launched three cruise missiles — costing upwards of $4 million — at shacks and radar sites operated by Houthi rebels.
