Whatever Happened to the SEAL Code of Silence?

Two former US Navy SEALs that took part in the raid at Osama bin Laden’s compound three years ago have told opposing versions of who ultimately killed the Al-Qaeda founder. The dispute over events is now materializing as both seek the spotlight.

I wondered if that would happen.

In [self-aggrandizing, glory hound Rob] O’Neill’s version of events, as told to Esquire in 2013, the “point man” in the Abbottabad, Pakistan raid tackled two women as “the shooter” [himself] advanced, killing Bin Laden in another room.

[...]

In ‘No Easy Day’, Mark Bissonnette, writing under the pseudonym ‘Mark Owen’, said the first person to enter bin Laden's room, the “point man,” was the SEAL to kill Bin Laden.

[...]

Bissonnette is scheduled to release next week a second book, titled ‘No Hero’, about his time as a SEAL.

So I wonder if that means he’s claiming the kill himself, or if “the shooter” was a third person. Most likely the former.

Bissonnette’s first book has already drawn ire from the Pentagon. He refused to offer the federal government a draft of ‘No Easy Day’ for legal review, and he is now under investigation for potentially disclosing classified information from the raid. He has said he was frustrated by who could and could not speak of the mission in the ensuing months.

“Everybody and their brother was talking about this,” Bissonnette said, according to NBC News. “How can you be holding it against me?”

Has he not been paying attention?

After an illustrious military career that included dozens of decorations, O’Neill, 38, has since left the Navy and works as a motivational speaker based on his 16 years in the service. He reportedly decided to come forward in public after frustration over the loss of veterans’ benefits, as he did not serve a full 20-year term as is the standard for certain allowances from the service.

Was he unaware of the rules?

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

That's himself.  Whatever happened to the SEAL Code of Selflessness?
