Same with the book (not the movie, because in the movie, not a SINGLE SEAL was ever shown) by Bowden..."Black Hawk Down"...most people didn't know there were actually SEALs in Somalia at that time.

i too agree with rodsky, unless you interpret it litterally... its just a expression, it is similar to Rangers Lead the Way, but do they lead the way?, not really...

even if it came from a navy seal....

@ BLACKMAMBA ...

Different strokes for different folks , just put it that way . Some SEALS are actually into the PROFITEERING SIDE telling stories here and there , publishing books here and there but dili tanan .

One thing is for sure , SEALS are for everyone but not everyone is destined to become a SEAL and I just made a statement also about it why is it so . Well , gikan ra na nako hehehe ... who am I anyways ? I am not even a SEAL .

Even the BOOKS being published today doesnt carry any 100% factual and accurate events .

@ SALBAHIS ...

Yes RANGERS leads the way . Before the ARMY occupies , RANGERS were already INSERTED in the area .

that was before the during WW2, but now a days a mixed agency are on the conflict area before the main military force.. ever since the Vietnam War, Clandestine Forces conduct Counter-Insurgency and CMO are the first to go in before the main cavalry...

75th Ranger Regiment (Airborne)

General Cota came down the beach. In the Hollywood version, he calls out "Rangers lead the way!" and off they charged. In the real thing, the battlefield noise was such that he couldn't be heard ten feet away. What he did was move from group to group. The first he encountered included Raaen, who recognized him (Cota's son was a West Point classmate of Raaen's). Raaen reported the location of Colonel Schneider's CP.

Cota started encouraging individuals and small groups to move out on their own, saying, "Don't die on the beaches, die up on the bluff if you have to die, but get off the beaches or you're sure to die." To Raaen, he said, "You men are rangers and I know you won't let me down."

Cota found Schneider at his CP. Cota remained standing; Schneider stood upright to converse. According to one witness, Cota said, "We're counting on you rangers to lead the way." Sergeant Fast, Schneider's interpreter, remembered Cota saying, "I'm expecting the rangers to lead the way."

Whatever Cota's exact words, the motto of the Rangers became "Rangers lead the way." It is a valid motto, well earned, but insofar as it implies that it was necessary for the rangers to be inspired to lead, it needs some correcting.
