Episode notes
Platoon Hierarchy
- 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.
Slap vs. Punch
- Slapping is humiliating, not damaging; it's a warning, not a fight.
- A closed fist signifies intent to harm, unlike a slap.
Consequences of Slapping
- Be prepared to fight if you slap someone, as retaliation is justified.
- However, a slap serves as a check, offering a chance to reassess and de-escalate.
