It makes me sad - for the young man, his family, the traumatized girl he'd met, etc.

It makes me angry - he is/was smart enough, focused enough, to survive SEAL training, the military invested all that time & money on him, he had a bright future, etc, and then he goes and does something this dumb? Makes me want him to survive so I can kick his butt.

I just... don't... understand!

"A Navy SEAL was fighting for his life late Thursday after accidentally shooting himself in the head while showing his gun collection to a woman he met at a San Diego bar.

The incident took place early Thursday morning at the SEAL's residence in Pacific Beach, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

Cali said the man took out several firearms and, in an effort to prove they were safe when the woman asked him to put them away, held one to his head and pulled the trigger, thinking it wasn't loaded.

A navy spokesman confirmed that the sailor had completed his SEAL training last week and was assigned to a West Coast-based team this week"
