Where is Colonel Jesup when you need him? |

There are unintended consequences for coming out so publically about a mission. I appreciate the Seals sacrifice and patriotism. I am glad the public is interested in learning more about the extremely difficult training SOF's go through. Robert O'Neill pull the trigger but didn't kill Bin Laden alone. The entire Armed Forces killed him. One Team One Mission, isn't that how it is supposed to be?
I agree... |

Yes... there is more than one team and several members of a team were killed in a crash there.. It may have been the mission to rescue Marcus Luttrell.

| I watched and intend to watch the second part. So far I think it is excellent. Oneal has not given any information that has not already been in the public domain. So far he has given nothing but praise and respect towards his fellow Seals. He is not being paid nor is there any book deal in the works. So far I don't see any bragging on his part he just states facts as he sees it. He has not said as of yet why he is doing this. |

Yes.
Let's not forget Joe Biden leaked more info than any solider ever did. I believe his leak caused the attack on the Chinook that cost us lives of 38 Americans on August 6. 2011. I attended two of the funerals of the fallen (while share the incredible witness of Seal Matthew Mason another time) Kansas City Royals allowed me to bring the son of the Chief Warrant Officer Bryan Nichols (KIA) to Royals game and attend batting practice. Braydon had barely left his room following the death of his Dad. He spent most his day in a corner crying. When he learned he was going to meet the Royals and attend pre game practice he lit up. At the end of BP, the players and coaches lined up and high fived Braydon. There wasn't a dry eye around. At the end of the game the Royals had a special gift for Braydon. They had a signed bat and ball for him to treasure. It was quite an emotional day. I think I even saw Ned Yost shed a tear.
I've rambled on long enough....sorry..just had to share a memory.

No please don't apologize, those are they types of stories the public should hear.
I'm not going to watch the interview, I just don't agree with it. I have spent the past 5yrs reading history on our wars. Joe Biden is trash. |

Location: Kansas | After Barack Obama opened his mouth and spiked the football, life was dangerous for the SEAL team. The family of one of those killed said their son told them immediately after Obama blew the confidentiality that he would not survive for very long and asked his parents to take all measures to protect themselves as he feared for their lives also. There was a list of things he asked them to do but I can't remember much, only canceling their credit cards and disconnecting their cell phones....
he wanted them to be as low-key as possible. |

Regardless of how we feel about O'Neill sharing his story he isn't the enemy. We have an enemy that wants to kill all of us and destory our freedom. Thank God we have a military that puts their life on the line for freedom.

| Former SealJonathan Gilliam nailed it on Megyn Kelly. The problem starts at the top with the President himself. The administration has leaked classified information since the beginning of their term.
Gilliam also said what I have been reading and hearing...O'Neill has already said too much and has revealed tactic and techniques that should be classified.
