Navy Seal Lt. Commander Jonas Kelsall : His Story

Jonas Kelsall grew up swimming the rivers of north Louisiana. He would later become a member of the elite Seal Team 6. He was killed in Afghanistan in August 2011 along with 22 other Seals. The largest loss of life in Navy Seal History...

I would love to learn more about His life. I’m sure he’s done miraculous things his entire life (someone so gifted at everything he did). He made Lt cmdr in SEAL TEAM 6 (at 32). And he looks like the nicest, coolest guy. Amazing individual. Not many are born with such talents. Edit: found out he was in charge of the captain Phillips rescue.

Anyone can become a SEAL these guys are normal people

[@jacobtimm9572]

1234 • no not anymore can be a seal and do you know how tuff it even is to be an seal team 6. You obviously don’t

[@FJ24.]

Jacob Timm you are most likely a ten year old but if your not and are just dumb I’ll explain for you Obliviously not everyone can be a seal, if you have no legs you can’t become a seal, if you’re blind you can’t become a seal but if you are a “normal” kid then yes you can, you just have to put in the work and want it badly enough also SEAL team 6 (DEVGRU) are the best of the seals you don’t become a DEVGRU member after finishing training Watch John Ballen video series on yt on how he went from a normal high school kid to going throw buds and becoming a SEAL

[@jacobtimm9572]

1234 • no shit I know that but training don’t even come close to real BUDS training most people aren’t mentally ready to do all that work in a environment with little sleep, constant pain and always getting yelled at

[@FJ24.]

Jacob Timm “not shit I know that” No you don’t you just said not anyone can become a seal And what are you talking about “training doesn’t come close to BUD’s” what does that even mean??? Who are you talking to

Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres, There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. RIP from a Vet

[@jamesadams5386]

Men like this are 1 in 2 million. There is no match for their desire, toughness, and dedication. There is no doubt about it when they finally make it through the world's best and toughest military prep training. Without doubt they are some of America's best! These men were good men and had no idea that they were fighting and dying so as to bring cheap heroin/opium to neighborhood streets near you. They were actually prohibited from fighting the enemy, ISLAM I said 1 in 2 million because there is a notch above these men and that is the men that see through the government and has the balls to ask and seek the why and truth of it all.

[@rickrowe2083]

james you are not in the same league as men like Jonas....there is no evidence anywhere that the Import of cheap Opium from Afghanistan has increased...Jonas was fighting evil a 1000 miles away so it doesn't spread to our country.......don't disparage his memory with nonsense.....please

[@jamesadams5386]

@@rickrowe2083 I am not in the same league as Mike Tyson or Deion Sanders either and don't claim to be but that does not automatically make either of those tough guys into some kind of roll model. It has been proven that there were No weapons of mass destruction and the FBI never was able to tie Bin Laden to the 9/11 attacks. According to the official story most of the 19 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia so our guys should have invaded Saudi Arabia where the Bin Laden headquarters is. The Afghanistan opium was pretty much shut down by their religious police and it was our military efforts that got that business cranked up and producing more opium than it ever has. You think like a sheep if you don't realize that it is American deuce and a half trucks that is taking that stuff to American built air strips and then being loaded on either CIA or US military planes for distribution all over the world, not just in North America. I fought{ 11b&13b }in a war that got 58000 of my peers killed and it was all over the "Gulf Of Tonkin" False Flag incident. It was all for financial gains for the evil banker/ investors that were making money off their investments in the war machine, not to fight communism. In one year we lost more men than have been lost since 9/11 happened so I know about war and sacrifice and I respect all the men that fought and died beside me but that does not make the none existent false cause noble. In 1945 we hung a lot of brave Germans for just following orders, there is nothing noble about refusing to question the right or wrong of what you are willingly taking part in, that's called stupidity; men can be brave and tough and also be dead wrong in their actions. Those guys in the middle east are being played like pawns on a game board and are just game pieces that make it possible for dirty evil rich men to become much richer. Sorry, but they are not doing anything for the citizens of the U.S.A. and neither was I except maybe filling a slot that Clinton, Bush, Cheney, or Trump may have wound up in had I bought my way out of going like they did.
