If you take an oath of secrecy, it should be kept. I am surprised; I thought they screened those elite forces more carefully.

He has disgraced his self and dishonored his country. Shame on him. I think he's looking for glory and and book deal and maybe a tacky reality show. He wants to cash in on service with the Seals. I wonder if he's dim witted or just doesn't care that disclosing such information puts his family at risk. I suspect he doesn't care.....

His backing is evident.

Didn't anyone here see the interview on 60 Minutes ... ?? ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$

This guy wrote a book and was told by the lawyer representing him that clearance wasn't necessary .... now the guy has a new lawyer.

As for "revealing" information, MANY top brass write books .... Leon Panetta, Norman Schwartzkoff, etc etc.

The point was brought up on Talk Radio the other day that, if the general who approved the mission can write a book about it, why can't one of the lowly soldiers write a book?

It's a fair question, IMO ........ ${#emotions_dlg.unsure}$

I'll trust my stepdad on this. He said he couldn't discuss his work, and I have to assume that's because he was told so.

An attention grabber, probably broadcasts every good deed, every donation he ever made.

Personally, I feel he is jeopardizing lives now. He took an oath when he became a SEAL, and I am sure other SEALS are outraged.

Has anyone asked him why?

Ego, fame, money. The usual. He says that leaders, such as generals and cabinet secretaries have written books and told stuff so why not him. But that's the old excuse that kids try with their parents - "But Mom, everyone else is doing it!"

Wonder if his desperate need for money has erroneously motivated him to tell all. I wonder what his finances look like.
