Is this the guy that wrote the book about the bin laden capture? How did he die again? I thought seals were never allowed to talk about their work. If it isn't an actual rule it 's supposed to be some kind of unwritten code.
Different guy. They're allowed to talk only with approval from the DOD/Navy, and if the rest of the SEAL community approves.
so was the guy that told his story and they made LONE SURVIVOR movie
seems alots of seals nowadays are out to make a buck spilling the beans on classified information
Whats going on, is that the SEAL community at large came into the spotlight after Bin Laden. When all the movies started to be made, it upset them, as they are very proud and don't like to see their stories being told incorrectly or technically inaccurate. So whats happening now, with DOD/Naval/SEAL approval, they're getting the actual SEALs involved so that when the movies are made, they're technically accurate.
If their going to be put in the spotlight, they want to make sure that what you're seeing on the screen is an accurate representation of what they go through and how they operate.
There is always the 10% out to make a buck or two, but the majority of SEALs are fiercely proud and the SEAL community is based on the respect of their peers.
After Act of Valor, the floodgates opened on the SEALs. Originally the SEALs didn't want to be a part of that movie, but they wanted it to be done right.
