Fox News<\/a> posted a story about a six-year-old boy with an important question. After having a discussion with a playmate about whether SEALS or ninjas<\/a> were quieter,\u00a0Walker Greentree wrote a letter to Admiral William McRaven, a former Navy SEAL and commander of U.S. Special Operations Command<\/a>, responsible for overseeing the special-ops<\/a> components of the military\u2019s myriad armed services. He asked the Admiral whether SEALS or ninjas were quieter.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, McRaven replied to the youngster with a missive of his own, writing, \u201cTo answer your questions: I think ninjas are probably quieter than SEALs<\/a>, but we are better swimmers, and also better with guns and blowing things up.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

McRaven also added, \u201cI can hold my breath for a long time, but I try not to unless I really have to.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The military chief then closed with some words of wisdom, specially suited for Walker, who reportedly aspires to become a SEAL.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRemember, if you want to be a SEAL, you must do two things: listen to your parents and be nice to the other kids. If you do that then you can probably be a SEAL, too.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have smart people in our military.<\/p>\n
