Good Lord, the reaction of some of you liberals is frightening. If you ever have input into our armed services they'll turn into a bunch of girl scouts except not as tough.

I'm sure the guy is actually wearing the padding that's designed and purchased for this purpose. Those aren't pets. They're military dogs.
I don’t doubt that they were trained. To the extent that Navy SEALs served on the board of this museum it is absolutely appropriate for the military to investigate whether any members on active duty were involved during this recorded demonstration. Very plainly, they stipulate the conduct violates military rules and ideals.

As long as no one is on the clock, whatever these guys do on their own time is their prerogative. And if the canines are not active members of the military, then they are subject to local rules on guard/attack dogs and I hope someone contacts animal control to find out. The owners should be subject to the local rules of ownership, care, and animal euthanasia if they aren’t military. And if they are, the military will have to investigate the use of government property for these private events. There are many issues here that deserve interrogation.

By the way, this video was originally posted on social media in January of this year, the museum itself is not even officially affiliated with the U.S. Navy, and those participating in this were not active duty Navy as far as I know.

Yet look how quickly the Navy SEALs "investigated" as soon as these videos became 'viral' in the mainstream media. Just the possible threat of being labeled as 'racist' and 'insensitive' was enough to spook that organization to immediately be pro-active in issuing a statement denouncing this.

Give me a break, lighten up, Francis.

Most dogs would not stoop to biting Kapernick, so it has to be a dramatization.

Hello, we really can't be focused on squashing the maverick out of Navy SEALS. This isn't a case of gang rape, or burning a village, or something horrid, this is a case of hijinks.

And if we weed out the men who have a bit of mischief up their sleeves, we won't have any more Navy SEALS.

You've said you dated Navy SEALS, so I'm a little surprised you are viewing this story this way. You gotta watch those guys, or they'll be doing something a little wild and unpredicted.

Because they've got the stuff of a SEAL.

The ones I know would never broadcast their personal political ideologies and hijinks on social media. If they are stupid enough to do that or let others do that, then they shouldn’t be all too surprised when scrutiny rains on them from above. And if they are truly stupid enough to use government property to fundraise in a private event...well lets just leave it at that. The military will conduct the investigation and hopefully everyone comes out with lessons learned.

Good god, there are only dangerous animal laws in Florida, including Ft. Pierce, and such laws fall under if a dog attacks/bites someone.

There is no law against training your dog to do so, nor some registration requirement (have no idea where you get that from), nor laws against demonstration of such activities.

Sure, they will investigate, and see if anything falls under 134 if they want.

Most SEALS would love to pound the stuffing out of Kaepernick. They wouldn't need a dog.

And no one can investigate that truth away.

Well they certainly wouldn't broadcast anything to you. Smart cookies those guys.

Yeah right. You know Navy Seals? Are you sure that they are SEALs and not just braggers? I was in the Navy and very few people ever meet SEALs because there really isn't that many of them. What ever. At least you have decided to be honest and dropped the act that you cared about public safety.

I have watched the video and it is a big fat so what. The demonstration was outstanding. They played to their audience and got a lot of cheers. Their show was outstanding.

Once again the left is all for the 1st Amendment unless the people exercising that right disagree with them. A large portion of the Nation disagree with the kneelers and Kaepernick. I certainly due, but I respect their right to their view. I disagree with the platform they use. So I don't watch the NFL anymore. Yes that is me exercising my1st Amed. Rights.

If you don't like what you saw then don't go to the show. The worst these guys deserve its a minor rip for not remembering that there is a Karen in every crowd.

“Hijinks” involving military dogs attacking someone pretending to be a black man is tone deaf at best.

I do know a couple of Navy SEALs. One was the best man in one of our daughter’s wedding. And yes he is a character.

But I’m pretty sure he and his buddies would view this as beneath them, as something idiots would do.
