Last week, SEAL Team Six, the Navy strike force responsible for killing Osama bin Laden, rescued two humanitarian aid workers who'd been taken hostage by Somali pirates. With such a stressful line of work, the team needs a little down time now and then. Here's how the elite military squad unwinds:
- Spending a nice relaxing day at the beach, completely undetected and unseen
- Hanging curtains and catching up on HGTV, solely to get their testosterone down to safe, medically acceptable levels
- Putting .50-caliber slugs in a tree inches above an unwitting neighbor's head while he naps in his hammock
- Remembering how awesome it was to kick down that door and put a bullet through bin Laden's head
- Getting their asses kicked by 12-year-olds while playing SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs online
- A lot less swooping into places and more just strolling in and saying "hey"
- Busting each other's chops, but in a way that doesn't end in death or paralysis
- Staging Oscar Wilde comedies at the ultrasecret SEAL Repertory Theater
- Ordering things online, waiting motionless in the bushes for days until the UPS guy comes
- A little quality time with the family, playing some Russian roulette in the garage wearing nothing but underwear, thinking about all the horrible things they've seen and done.
