I'm reading one at the moment (I'm a cliché, I know, navy seals and gruff ranchers are my weakness), and I suddenly thought that, for a supposedly elite group, there are an awful lot of them in fiction.
But I don't know how to work it out, are there hundreds of active seals or thousands? Do they mostly survive and leave the navy to become freelance govt agents/secret black ops/bodyguards/hermits or does it come with a high mortality rate?
What are my chances of actually being seduced by one, or should I concentrate on the gruff ranchers? (In real life I'm not at all drawn to that sort of personality, which is probably why I like them so much in fiction.)

What we're reading
I suspect that there are more romances about ex-navy seals than there are actual ex-navy seals in the world
