Disney trademarks "SEAL Team 6"

Just a couple days after the Bin Laden job.

Suppose they're making a cartoon about seals?

I really don't care if they are... I think they need to fight for the right to the name. >:D

Dick Marcinko hasn't already done this?

IIRC "SEAL Team 6" isn't actually the name of the unit.  The Navy has a penchant for long and hard to pronounce acronyms even by military standards.  I think it's actually called "Navy Special Warfare Development Group" or some such. NAVSPECWARDEVGRU just rolls off the tongue.

Right.  SEAL Team 6 no longer exists.  The current name is DevGru.

Trademarks need to be earned, not bought.

Well, even here on APS, there are a number of people that do not understand the concept of intellectual property and related theory/law.  The US intellectual property laws need to be drastically overhauled, and Disney is probably the worst offender in making a bad situation worse.

Thanks, Disney. Now I will never be able to get the image of a bunch of tactical operators in Mickey Mouse t-shirts rising up out of the surf out of my head...

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

The SEALs are the next great profit center.  How else can we get out of the recession? =D

And if that did ever happen, the men involved in and results of that mission, will be even more badass.  =D  I'm reminded of this: http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2006/04/infamous-t-shirt.html  :laugh:
