WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior defense official says seven members of the secretive Navy SEAL Team 6, including one involved in the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, have been punished for allegedly disclosing classified information.
The official, who discussed the matter on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the case, says the seven received what the military calls "nonjudicial" punishment on Wednesday. They are alleged to have provided the information to the maker of a video game.

Oh but the white house can leak all kinds of secret information and not be punished??
Yes, it is Article 15. And the pricks in office disclosed more last year.
Meh.
That sounds fair.
oh suuuuure THAT is why they were punished, sure.
And you know what? I’ll bet in the near future some of our guys suffer “a most TRAGIC training accident..”

Now, if some SEAL jumped out of a choppa and cut the heads off a whole masjid full of islamonutballs, then I might have to call him on the carpet. And drink a case of brews with him while nobody is looking.
Short of that, I’m buying the bastid a 6-pack of beer just because I respect somebody who is not afraid of cold water.
Believe me, these guys go through hell.
A little NJP won’t kill them.
Yes it is. I would imagine that would end their tenure in DevGru or the SEALS as a whole
Watch to see if they are sent to some rogue country to protect an ambassador that the administration no longer wants around. Knows too much and a lot can happen over some film.
Obama is above the law. In this instance and every other, so far.
Every cotton-pickin’ teenager who detassels corn has to provide legal documentation of their identity and citizenship because it is of such critical importance that they be qualified to earn a wage in the USA. But the guy who holds the nuclear football and has the power to arm Al Qaeda if he darn well pleases (and he does please and does arm them) is too high and holy to stoop to such a menial task.

General Article 32.
Baroque Commodus kept shating on your Praetorian Guards.

Hollywood and everyone else gets access to classified info by the White Hut, but it’s the SEALS that get punished?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Every Ex Seal ends up on the domestic terrorist list.
oh suuuuure THAT is why they were punished, sure.
And you know what? I’ll bet in the near future some of our guys suffer “a most TRAGIC training accident..”

This nation is no longer worthy of these men. Their civilian leaders disrespect them, get them killed for no good cause, and punish them for political reasons.
Those men did not speak a speck of classified information not already released by Obama himself.
Article 32 is investigation, grand jury, if you will. Article 15 is Non-judicial punishment, Capt’n’s Mast, NJP, et al.
Let me tell you how insane the govt is on security. Remember those classified State Dept docs that were disseminated over the internet? A few days later we got an order from USAF security people that it was illegal for USAF civil service employees to read those documents. So apparently civil service and military personnel were the only people in the world who didn’t read them. It ‘s kind of scary to realize that the people in charge of security are stark staring mad as well as clinically stupid.
I’ll bet that this supposed secret info these SEALs spposedly revealed are every bit as secret in reality as those State Dept docs
