They should realize that when they cash in like this, they put not only themselves at deadly risk, but also their families and potentially their colleagues. And they also hurt the cohesion of the SEAL units for future sensitive missions. His service was honorable, and we owe him gratitude for that, but not for this - this is a dishonorable thing to do.
He is a former Navy Seal, not currently in the service. As long as he released no classified information he still has his rights of Freedom of Speech. He tried to be anonymous, if for no other reason than his own safety. I'm sure he didn't want to be the target of every Islamic terrorist out there. Which makes me wonder who "outed" him.

Faux News outed his real identity. And he was current enough to have been in service just over a year ago. He also submitted and scheduled for release the manuscript w/out going through proper channels and procedures re: DoD regulations.
