Fellow SEAL Calls Bin Laden Book ‘No Easy Day’ Author ‘Benedict Arnold’ | TheBlaze.com

Mark is a legend. He‘s the operator’s operator. He’s a leader and a perfectionist. He’s the quiet professional completely dedicated to God and country. Which is why it makes what he’s done so devastating.
Now I know how General Washington must have felt the moment he discovered his most trusted general had compromised his commitment to liberty for all in favor of happiness and riches for himself. Washington must have wept for his friend and he prayed for his soul because he knew that Benedict Arnold would be tormented by his actions the remainder of his life. Living with a compromised character is the definition of hell on earth.
It took me all of two text messages to figure out who wrote the book, and in an instant my heart was broken. I’m still conflicted. I‘m mad but I don’t want to be. Part of me understands why Mark did what he did, but there’s another part of me is so disappointed it makes me physically ill. Every SEAL I’ve spoken with feels betrayed by his actions. He’s loved by his brothers, but forbidden to ever stand within their circle again.

There is a lot more to this letter. I cant post it all of course, so you can read the rest at the link. Pretty powerful message.

It is the 3rd or 4th "SEAL"/Special Forces book to come out in the last ten years. I can understand why these guys want to cash in, but there is a great deal of risk to future GI's. Tough call...
