Right for former Navy SEAL to talk? #tellusatoday

With such a high profile mission, the details of it were bound to come out.

I disagree with a former Navy SEAL talking about the raid. It's a team effort, and this could compromise future assignments.

@PlumbbobGreen

As long as everything he says is true, it's fine. A piece of history should be told.

@HuntingBigfoot

I do not think talking about it was appropriate. It was a secret mission, and sometimes integrity requires silence.

@lauralang18

I don't think it's a good thing. Coming out and talking about the raid seems disrespectful.

@TAJSr360

I think we still don't know what has really happened. He also may be lying to make money with a book.

@maiwandafghani

Greed is a nasty thing. It's greed, pure and simple.

@tjsmith59

Killing Osama bin Laden was historical and crucial. It needed to be done. We want to know and be proud of the man who did it.
