> Where was say, the US Navy?

Well, 1 former SEAL was dying trying to get the kids oxygen.

Musk didn't do anything but tweet about this. He deserves no credit, no praise.

That man was a former Thai Navy SEAL, not a US Navy SEAL. Both nations have SEAL teams.

To be pedantic, he was a Thai Navy Seal (the unit in questions is nicknamed after an animal: it's not an acronym).

That's not pedantic, it's actually informational. Up until now I was surprised that Thailand also had SEALs. Your clarification makes the whole thing make sense now :-)
