Former Navy SEAL Probed for Possibly Releasing Classified Details of Bin Laden Raid Dec 23, 2014
The Navy is investigating whether a former SEAL who claimed on national television that he shot Osama bin Laden may have revealed classified information about the raid.
In November, Robert O’Neill appeared on Fox News Channel to discuss his role in the raid that killed bin Laden on May 1, 2011 in Abbotabad, Pakistan

How about the Zany Walrus Biden?
meanwhile the IRS purposely destroys emails and nothings done about it...
All those SEAL need to zip it, but Joe Biden was the first to spill the beans.
Amen.
The fool has blood on his hands.
At this point I don’t feel sorry at all for this guy. Seemed to me he sought glory fame and fortune when he should have kept his mouth shut.
Slowly I turned...step by step...inch by inch...
In 2 years a new president will reverse this BS on the guy. Only reason he is being investigated is because our fearless CiC takes the guy and his beliefs personally, while doing everything to destroy him. Betcha money on it.
We will never clear the corruption from our government using other agents of the same government. People need to realize that, and take action. Otherwise all the talking amounts to nothing and is a waste of time.
Could it be they didn’t want us to know that the Pakistani’s were harboring the most wanted man in the world for years and years? You know, part of my paycheck goes to their government. Makes sense to me. It’s like....not liking a certain part of town, because of crime/drugs/poverty/whatever , instead of staying away you give them money to come mess up your neighborhood too.
Good stuff. LOL
Biden’s on first. Who’s on first? Precisely.
You are absolutely right. I'm a Marine, but I admire the Army SF's talent for keeping their mouths shut. If a Delta team had bagged OBL, we still wouldn't know squat about it. The SEALs talk too damn much, and that's a very bad habit that's going to get a lot of good people killed.
I do not speak of things I did 32 years ago.
BTW Brother, Having worked with all branches, I admire Marines.
You guys actually think.
Agree 100%. Guy signed a NDA while he was in, and violated it when he went public. Last movie I remember seeing about SF guys was the Green Beret with John Wayne.
And Zero Dark 30 was made with the help of WH leaks. Where are the probes?
I would be much more comfortable if he had told his story but remained anonymous. He should not have given his real name or allowed himself to be photographed. At the very least it should have been one of those backlit interviews with an altered voice. Giving open interviews on television? Totally beyond the pale. But you know what? None of the other team members will ever publicly bad-mouth him even if they are ticked.

NAVY SEAL CODE
"In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation's call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America's finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life. I am that man.
My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.
My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.
I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.
We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.
I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me - my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.
We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.
Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail."
At least we know now that Bin Laden was killed. There was no evidence of it before this, and I sure wasn’t going to depend on our enemy islamist CIC for the truth.
Does your sentiment also apply to Marcus Luttrel and Chris Kyle?
