Okay first of all - I have tremendous respect for SF guys. Looking from the outside in, it appears to me that after the stuff you go through, everything else would seem like a vacation.
BUT I wouldn't not rest on the SEAL laurels alone.
From what I know, the edge military and specially SF guys have in B-School is leadership experience, often in high pressure situations. Top schools like that. Harvard specially, so that is definitely going to help you. My guess is, your essays will just write themselves - leadership, weakness, defining moment - I am sure you have great stories to tell.
As for the other aspects - bring up what you can. If you can, raise your GMAT score, then do it. You want to present yourself in the best light possible. A SEAL with a 700+ GMAT, a decent GPA and who has done some pretty awesome missions leading people in my class? YES PLEASE.
Your awesome military career will definitely differentiate you from the thousands of corporate overachievers (I hope I am not offending anybody) that apply to these schools, why not round out your application with impressive stats in addition to the great experiences?
I have no military experience, and am speaking from what I have seen in my research/applications and conversation with B-school students and prospective students. There is a military thread too, I think - I am sure you will find some answers there.
Best of luck.

Great advice trance. I will definitely look to hit that 700 mark. I would like to have that slam dunk feeling when I drop the apps and I know the GMAT will be crucial. Thanks again.
