🇺🇸 18 Navy SEALS Were Disciplined For Racist Harassment Of Black SEAL

One racist meme sent to the SEAL in 2022 was described in the investigation as "Slave in Chains." Another meme sent in 2022 was titled "Monkey Face" and depicted the SEAL in uniform with his face distorted to look like a monkey. A meme sent in 2023 compared him to the movie character Radio, a mentally disabled man played by Cuba Gooding Jr.

CBS News has learned that Rear Adm. Milton Sands, then the head of Naval Special Warfare Command, acted swiftly once the allegations surfaced in March. Sands has since been removed from his position by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The reason for his removal is unknown. 

In the complaint, the Black Navy SEAL said his name was scratched off two plaques where it once appeared alongside others serving on SEAL Team Four. On one of the plaques, the names are etched into a piece of wood under a hatchet adorned with Navy SEAL Tridents, the physical pin that signifies a SEAL.

The SEAL described the removal of his name as "A final, disgraceful act to make it clear that I was not welcome," and that it was "a direct and unmistakable act of hatred."
