Bull.

SEALs go through a rigorous selection process that guarantees that before training they are already better than 95+% of the population. Then, yes, they get greater training than others. But a large portion of the initial selection process is weeding out a substantial portion of the population.

They are "better" than most other people even before their training, by definition.
