I agree with him. He's not supposed to be a celebrity. The Navy also agrees
There was a story on this. One of the Navy Seals in the raid wrote a book and was donating the proceeds to Navy Seal charities. Well, big daddy government steps in and says you can't do that. Meanwhile Hollywood is leaked info from the white house about the raid, and Leon Panetta writes about it extensively.
The problem the government has with it, is that they aren't making money off of it. They don't want the guys actually out there risking their lives turning a profit, thats the jobs of the bureaucrats. I say, let them make as much money as they can off of this. They earned it.

I recall another squid falling asleep and letting a Japanese destroyer run over his boat. Think he ran for prez or something. Nobody bitched about that one.

Sure. National security and codes of conduct be damned. Because, bureaucrats.
His own fellow SEAL members have spoken out, as has the Navy. They don't stand to make any money from this, and the idea that money would otherwise be claimed by other parties but for the actions of O'Neill is absurd.

Can't both the SEALs leaking and WH/Panetta leaking both be bad? Do we have to live in a world where since one person did something stupid we should all do it?
