should former SEALS be charged for revealing info?
Former SEAL Matt bissonnette has written a book, without the consent of the government and revealed information on television about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. should former military be able to speak about what they went through, or is it simply violating their oath of secrecy and the book should be thrown at them? what about the case of Robert O'Neill? He spoke about the raid but never gave up his name. his name was revealed on a blog by another military serviceman.

Their oath of secrecy binds them to keep classified information a secret. They may personally see no harm in revealing what seems to be a minor detail, but it's classified for a reason. SEALS know this and they know that "loose lips sink ships" so to speak. The U.S. should prosecute. If they don't it will set a bad precedent. Side: yes, sock it to em
