This fails because the first one reads as "soldier" to most people, I'd say the vast majority of native English speakers would think "soldier", not that he's a Navy Seal. Especially because My first thought for a Navy Seal would be coming out of the ocean in a wet suit.

Seems like you got hung up on that. Order shouldn't matter.

I got the three ‘seals’ at the bottom, though.

Same, but that made me assume the other ones have to seals as well and then the navy seal was right there.

I think it works well as a riddle.

It got me too. Even when I got to the animal seal I just assumed it was there for something else and the meme made no sense.

Order does matter. It comepletely ruined the flow. If i had already seen seal the animal, id be much quicker to land on seal for everything

Soldier, grommet, paint,
Wax stamp, person, seal.
