The article says that the SEAL left 16years short of a 20 year retirement. I have read several books written by SEALS and 4 years to get to the position of top seal in 4 years seems to be unheard of. Does the SEAL only have 4 years of service? He still has VA rights and PTSD would be one possibility. 4 years of military service can be used for retirement towards federal retirement system. Any Veteran can get free treatment form the Veterans Administration with some restrictions.

I read it as he left after 16 years of service, four years short of retirement benefits eligibility.
