Glory Trumps Honor: Did ex Navy Seal Violate Sworn Oath and National Security 4 Book Profit?
I'd like to think not, but in these times with ex military and others swiftboating Presidential nominees and sitting Presidents, honor has obviously been in short supply. In the past when CIA agents and others went on secret missions, the secrets that they held went to the grave with them. The CIA even has a wall dedicated to these honorable men and women, in the lobby of CIA Headquarters.
Unsung heroes: CIA remembers those lost in covert operations
We have this bogus smear attack video on President Obama by ex military and ex intelligence people, all for ideological bullshit. And now we have an ex Navy Seal who was on the mission that killed Osama bin Laden writing a book without approval of the government (what secrets have been compromised?).
trust me, this bothers current and ex military and intelligence people who are not playing politics making garbage videos...
What is wrong with this generation?

SEAL’s Bin Laden Raid Book Stirs Controversy - ABC NewsBrandon Webb, a former Navy SEAL and writer, told ABC News that Owen may be compromising one of Americas most elite and secretive commando groups, even if he used a pseudonym and changed the names of the other team members.
Operational security is at play here regardless of whether or not any classified information has been disclosed in this memoir, he said, noting that even innocuous details could be enough to put other team members at risk. This is not a good day for SEAL Team Six. An individual has compromised their ethos and mantra that the deed is more important than the glory.
