“That horrible incident underlined something I’d learned in SEAL training and that I believe even more strongly today: You can’t anticipate al the challenges that are going to be thrown your way. All you can do is prepare yourself to the best of your abilities.”

Don Mann, Inside SEAL Team 6, p. 100

Mann is referring to the San Ysidro McDonald’s massacre that happened while he was training in San Diego on July 18, 1984. Perpetrator James Huberty killed 21 people and wounding 19 in a McDonald’s restaurant over a period of 77 minutes.  Huberty was killed by a SWAT sharpshooter.
