I don't think you know what critical thinking means because it isn't "aware of niche American military units"
They've been reported on, popularized in western film/media for 30+ years but that isn't critical thinking. They just aren't very "niche".
You would use critical thinking to say " every other box is obviously a seal, so the first box, which I don't know, is also a seal. I wonder how, because I don't know much about military units, but am sure that's the name "seal" goes with box 1 too". That's critical thinking jimmy. Lemme know if you need help with your shoelaces or anything
That's inductive reasoning, Bobby, not critical thinking.
And yes, I gathered that this dude is apparently a seal of some sort, but that's not the English language, that's uncreative branding. It's the same word, reused, not a different word also spelled 'seal'.
Inductive reasoning is a critical thinking skill, James.
