- A SEAL platoon's pecking order is maintained through occasional physical altercations, similar to chimpanzee troops.
- Uncontrolled aggression leads to being ousted, so fights serve as tension release and establish hierarchy.

- Slapping is humiliating, not damaging; it's a warning, not a fight.
- A closed fist signifies intent to harm, unlike a slap.
