I have a lot of respect for the service of our veterans, past and present, for all the things that they’re asked to do in the line of duty.
The Navy SEALs are no exception. They do the impossible, and make it look easy. But what happens when one of that elite group starts revealing stuff about classified missions, such as the raid in Pakistan that resulted in Osama bin-Laden’s demise?
He’s been allegedly giving interviews to one magazine for months, and another magazine publicly identified him. Fox News is getting ready to do a major story on it. The Pentagon is taking a very dark view of the matter and is threatening to take legal action against any military personnel who reveal operational details.
Just because he’s not in government service anymore doesn’t give him the right to start spilling military secrets. Some things should be left well enough alone and revealed in 50 years or so.
Retired SEALs and other special operators have kept military secrets for decades. Why is this guy any different? I respect what he’s done for our country, but he needs to think about his choices in moving forward from here.
