    BUD/S TO BATTLEFIELD AND BACK AGAIN: EXPLORING THE ASCENT OF THE U.S. NAVY SEAL TO THE REALM OF AMERICAN SUPERHERO A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By William R. Morris III Washington, D.C. April 17, 2019 Copyright © 2019 William R. Morris III All rights reserved ii For those who never quit, may we never forget. iii BUD/S TO BATTLEFIELD AND BACK AGAIN: EXPLORING THE ASCENT OF THE U.S. NAVY SEAL TO THE REALM OF AMERICAN SUPERHERO William R. Morris III Thesis Adviser: Rebecca Boylan, Ph.D. ABSTRACT U.S. Navy SEALs have become ubiquitous in the years since SEAL Team Six killed Osama Bin Laden during Operation Neptune Spear in 2011. SEAL narratives and stories can be found in bookstores, movie theaters, newspapers, talk shows, board rooms, and campaign trails. But who are Navy SEALs? Though existing scholarly literature explores the factual elements of SEALs, the archetypal identity of Navy SEALs remains a mystery. By some popular accounts, SEALs are American superheroes or living legends who bridge the gap between myth and reality. This thesis finds and explores the intricacies of the SEAL identity by reading SEAL narratives and stories, particularly American Sniper (the film), American Sniper (the book), Fearless, The Operator, and Lone Survivor.1 This thesis argues that a Hegelian dialectic between the ordinary and the extraordinary characterizes the Navy SEAL identity which emerges from the intersection of the narratives and stories produced by SEALs, specifically those who waged the War on Terror between 2001 and 2011.

    Praise for Fearless “As a rule, we don’t endorse books or movies or anything regarding the command where I work—and Adam Brown worked—but as the author writes in Fearless, you have to know the rules so you know when to bend or break them. This is one of those times. Read this book. Period. It succeeds where all the others have failed.” —Anonymous, SEAL Team SIX operator “There is a quote from the Bible etched on the memorial that stands in the shadow of World Trade Center steel that resembles a massive trident: ‘Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”’ That was Adam Brown. Fearless is a clear and deeply honest portrait of an authentic American man who lived and loved with an intrepid personal velocity. For most of us, the failures and disappointments in life take their toll. Not for Adam Brown. He vanquished all life’s heartbreaks with faith, humility, and hard work. His commitment to his family and his friends helped forge Adam Brown into the rarest of warriors. Long live the Brotherhood.” —Kurt Johnstad, screenwriter of Act of Valor and 300 “Adam Brown’s zest for life led him down a few dark alleys and more than one dead end. Kindhearted and wild, Adam led a life that lacked direction. God, a woman, and the U.S. Navy gave it to him. Fearless is a love story…several love stories: a man for his woman, a warrior for his team, parents for kids, and soldiers for their country.

  • Robert J. O'neill
    ROBERT J. O’NEILL Former SEAL Team Six Leader, Naval Special Warfare Development Group New York Times Best-Selling Author Rob O’Neill is one of the most highly-decorated combat veterans of our time and the author of the New York Times best-selling memoir The Operator: Firing the Shots That Killed Osama bin Laden and My Years as a SEAL Team Warrior. A former SEAL Team Six leader with the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, he deployed more than a dozen times and held combat leadership roles in more than 400 combat missions in four different theaters of war. A highly-trained Navy SEAL, he led the military’s most elite and was involved in our nation’s most important campaigns. With most of his career shrouded in a classified cloak, O’Neill was the man on the ground we have never heard of but know exists. He was one of the quiet professionals performing the most difficult tasks in the most difficult circumstances, serving his remarkable career in the shadows and keeping America safe in the process. In the world of high-pressure Navy SEAL missions, instant, critical decision-making is a necessity for success. He has proven experience in exceptionally high-risk and fluid environments. Having trained more than 800 special operations and tactical operators, O’Neill brings this unique expertise to organizations and translates his elite SEAL team training into high-impact, actionable insights on leadership, decision-making, operating in uncertain environments, and how to become the ‘best of the best.’ Exclusively represented by Leading Authorities speakers bureau, his mantra is “never quit,” and he believes this is the single most important factor in determining success.

  • Secrecy As Security Composition
    Secrecy as security composition: covert manhunting and meaning-making in the US ‘shadow war’ Elspeth Van Veeren University of Bristol © Elspeth Van Veeren School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies University of Bristol Working Paper No. 02-2018 1 Title: Secrecy as security composition: covert manhunting and meaning-making in the US ‘shadow war’ Name: Elspeth Van Veeren Abstract: Security studies continues to undervalue the productive and meaning-making role of secrecy in security discourses. Drawing on secrecy studies and on multi-layered compositional understandings of meaning-making, this article therefore sets out a framework for studying the power of secrecy in security discourses. More specifically, as this article contends, secrecy can be understood as a nested set of practices, a composition that obscures and makes illegible as a central part of the act of power. This composition of secrecy practices is collectively referred to as an arcanum and composed of four different layers: geographies of secrecy; specialist mediations of secrecy; cultures of secrecy, and pleasures of secrecy with attendant implications for the construction of subjects within a discourse. In particular, using the U.S. ‘shadow war’ as an empirical case study, and in particular conducting a close reading of a set of key memoirs associated with the rising practice of ‘manhunting’ in the Global War on Terrorism, the legitimizing and meaning-making practices of secrecy are explored. Keywords: secrecy; security; layering; manhunting; global war on terror; arcanum 2 Introduction On 31 October 2014, Rear Admiral Brian Losey, the commanding officer of Naval Special Warfare Command (more commonly known as the US Navy SEALS, for Sea, Air and Land), and the senior enlisted SEAL, Force Master Chief Michael Magaraci, circulated a letter to all SEALs (see Figure 1).

  • Conversation with John Leenhouts
    Conversation with John Leenhouts July 3, 2017 Haller Air Field Green Cove Springs, Florida Recorded and Transcribed by Lyn Corley 2 TAPE 1 SIDE A JOHN-My name is John Richard Leenhouts. I was born in 1950, October of ’50, in a place called Bryan,Texas . Most people know it as College Station. The only reason I was born there is because as my father pointed out to me, while working in the oil fields of South Texas I had been conceived in Reno, carried in Kingsville, and as they were driving through Bryan they stopped and delivered me. We continued to move all across the south between Freer, McGowan, Alice, Reynoso, Matamoras, San Antonio, Burleson, Ft. Worth then we moved into Kansas. Up to Hays, Great Bend, Salada up to Utah to Salt Lake and Beryl and finally in 1961 we moved to Illinois. I resided in Illinois with my folks there until I got into college at Southern Illinois University. I spent one misfit year there and got wrapped up in the anti-war movement in 1969 and was asked never to come back to Southern Illinois. They didn’t want me or my money. Go somewhere else. My father, being a World War II veteran, he didn’t take kindly to the fact that I had rioted against the war so he cut off, severed the financial umbilical cord and I became a nomad so to speak. He said, “You can live in our house until the end of the summer, get what money you can, and then when school starts we don’t really care where you go but go.” LYN-That was during draft time also.
