What was said
"Of all of our guys, we've got like 60-something guys now, not a single suicide from the highest probability guys of doing that. The guys that kill themselves are not the turds. They're the guys that we put on the line over and over."
Jimmy May, founder of Beyond the Brotherhood, revealed that his nonprofit has achieved zero suicides among over 60 screened Navy SEAL veterans, all considered high-risk. May emphasized the organization focuses on elite operators who saw the most combat and thus carry the highest risk. The revelation came after May lost four teammates to suicide within four months of his retirement.
