Last week might have been a rough week for our nation, but there was one lighthearted story that caught national media attention. SEALS vs. Ninjas.

If you track headline news on your smartphone or following trending topics on social media outlets, you surely heard about six-year old Walker Greentree's letter with his important question to Admiral William McRaven.

I've got to hand it to this kid, when he wants something answered, he went straight to the top source.

Following a cordial backgyard debate about who is quieter, a Navy SEAL or a Ninja between two young boys, the six-year old wrote a letter to the former SEAL commander and got a reply.

“To answer your questions: I think ninjas are probably quieter than SEALs, but we are better swimmers, and also better with guns and blowing things up," wrote McRaven in his reply back to the boy, which included a challenge coin inside the correspondence.

Thank you, Business Insider, for breaking this much needed morsel of humorous news.
