The Admiral is quite correct.
Not a chance in Hell this SEAL didn’t realize that he wouldn’t receive retirement benefits if he left before the 20-year mark. Everyone who serves knows that.
This is much ado about nothing. The man made a decision, and IMHO, a very bad one. He had four years to go (tops) til he was eligible for lifetime retirement benefits. Truly dumb.
I don't know about that...there's a story whose flames are being fanned here, possibly by Esquire magazine. They should be held to task.
Also it seems he’s playing the “victim card” . Doesn’t that go against everything they teach you in any Special Ops?
I’m sure lots of Blackwater type companies would pay a SEAL with 16 years of experience on top of killing Bin Ladin lot’s just to have him around.
