Well, crap. Aside from the risk Alan posed, there is the added element inciting rivals...

He says he’s sorry he didn’t submit the book for legal review, but says there are “inconsistencies” about who is allowed to talk and who isn’t, since higher ups were apparently speaking freely.
“Everybody and their brother was talking about this,” said Bissonnette. “How can you be holding it against me?”So, when others (and I bet most are higher-up's & REMFs) chatter about this with people, even if
off the record/anonymous, it's OK bit the rank and file guy gets lambasted?
They (the Pentagon and the Regime) create jealousies and send mix messages when things are not handled fairly and without favoritism. They cannot pop the cork and then expect to contain what spills out!
And then some Rear-Admiral trots out the ethos and beats O’Neill and Bissonnette over the head with it and threatens legal action?
“At Naval Special Warfare’s core is the SEAL Ethos,” said the letter, signed by Rear Adm. Brian Losey and Master Chief Michael Magaraci. “A critical (tenet) of our Ethos is ‘I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions.’
“We do not abide willful or selfish disregard for our core values in return for public notoriety and financial gain.”
The letter closes by reminding the “teammates” that classified information is protected by law, and warns that “We will actively seek judicial consequences for members who willfully violate the law.”Two-faced prick! Hey, motherf**ker?! What about the pricks the Regime allowed to talk to Hollywood assholes and come up with BS friendly to the Dear Leader in this take down? They get singled out, bullied and threatened too? Oh, no? Why is that? They go through the hoops and just because the Dear Leader OK's it makes it all fricken great, no matter how bullsh*t the story is?
Effing REMFs!
And criticizing the money, which these guys turn around and plow into charities for comrades pisses me off!
Confirmation near the end of the article:
But another former SEAL, while acknowledging that public scrutiny of their actions was fair, defended both Bissonnette and O’Neill. “They haven’t done anything leadership wouldn’t have done,” said James Hatch. “We are at this place in time because of a double standard. The leadership created that double standard.”
Hatch pointed out that leadership had allowed active-duty SEALs to participate in the movie “Act of Valor,” a fictionalized account of SEAL missions against terrorists around the globe. The film was released in February 2012 and capitalized on the bin Laden raid publicity.
Said Hatch, “The same leadership that promoted and produced ‘Act of Valor’ now want to punish people who did some heavy lifting. Doesn’t that seem odd to people? It’s either OK to talk shop or it isn’t.”Kaboom, motherf**kers!!! Stupid REMFs and Regime ass-kissing jackasses best STFD & STFU!!!
