It is a meme.

Not military but it was easy, given the context. Literally basic critical thinking

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'.
