Navy SEAL who oversaw the Osama bin Laden raid warns that 'Batman and Superman are not coming' in a speech advising college graduates to become their own heroes
Retired US Navy Adm. William McRaven, the commander who oversaw the military raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, called on recent college graduates to "save the world" and asked them to work to be the last students who miss classes due to pandemic, war and climate change.
"As I saw more of my fair share of war and destruction, I came to the hard truth that Captain America isn't coming to the rescue," McRaven said. "There is no Superman, no Batman, no Wonder Woman, no Black Widow ... no Gandalf, no Harry Potter."Retired US Navy Adm.
"After all these years, I came to realize that the heroes that we need are not the heroes that I've been searching for," McRaven said. "But as I grew up and traveled the world, and as I saw more of my fair share of war and destruction, I came to the hard truth that Captain America isn't coming to the rescue. There is no Superman, no Batman, no Wonder Woman, no Black Widow ... no Gandalf, no Harry Potter.
"There will always be those who don't want to hear your convictions, particularly if they are true," McRaven added. "Speaking the truth can be dangerous. But those that came before you ... those brilliant minds, those tellers of truth who made the world a more knowledgeable place, a more compassionate place, a more livable place. They had courage."
"And when you fail to uphold your integrity — and when you fail to uphold your integrity — it should make you sick to your stomach. It should give you sleepless nights. You should be so tortured that you promise yourself never to do it again.""I want you to promise me one thing," McRaven said. "Promise me that you will be the last class, the last class to miss a class because of a pandemic. The last class to miss a commencement because of war.
