This is so bogus and nothing more than smoke and mirrors. If they revealed secrets, they'd be up on courts martial-able charges and it wasn't for publicity - just the money. Does anyone have any idea of how many members on active duty are on food stamps? The pay scales barely keep up with inflation. The 1990 vs 2012 pay scales are almost the same in 2012 dollars. These are the people we put into harm's way because we have turned them into an "Army for rent" and then toss them out like yesterday's trash. Lastly, they see that the first thing on the administration's mind is to cut defense, aka possible loss of job, while welfare is becoming PC. These guys needed the money nothing more.

So it is ok for our commander and chief to use them to get re-elected but for us citizens that want the greatest experience on earth recreating something that we will never see is wrong . bla bla wa wa .

Hum... Malcontents or Patriots?

So, Seal Team 6 is not so clandestine that a video game creator can not learn the members' names and interview them for 2 days about covert operational tactics..... Some how, the fact that the shooters are in trouble instead of the people in charge of them disturbs me immensely as an American citizen.

I am a service diabled vet and have the highest respect for the Seals. These guys had no business at all being involved in anything that smells of pulicity.

Considering the Obama administration leaks and subsequent destruction to national security, this appears to be a flyspeck. Anyway, exactly how do you punish seven SEALs who are trained to razors edge to welcome inhuman adversity and then still shoot you in the face? My guess they will take their punishment like the elite warriors they are, give the punishers the finger out the door and go have a punishment party, Semper Fi do or die!

Well lets see whats on my mind. Hmm I was shocked today when seeing Kelly Ripa and some other bimbo drinking wine and singing a stupid song. Thats news??!! No I am shocked that no one (media) mentioned a US drone was shot down by Iran, that an executive at CNBC reported on "Banksters" who financed some of Obamas campaign being linked to money laundering and racketeering that involves high gov officials and the next day his two children are MURDERED!!!!!, I am still in shock over Obama telling our military to "STAND DOWN" when our embassy was attacked and our people were sodomized and murdered, I am still in shock over fast and furious. You elected this man again!? Thats news. The lame bought out media thinks your idiots and they are LYING to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
