Pentagon says former SEAL Matt Bissonette violated agreements to not divulge military secrets with bin Laden raid book

Gee, I wonder what the partisan republican assholes over at the "Special Ops OPSEC Education Fund" think?
A tough new advert has been put out by a group calling themselves Special Ops OPSEC Education Fund, who say their mission is to "STOP the politicians, President Obama and others, from politically capitalizing on US national security operations and secrets!" The organisation, which claims to be non-partisan despite being fronted by several Republicans, accuses the White House of putting national security at risk by leaking secrets. But its main purpose is to attack President Obama for what it calls his bragging about the killing of Bin Laden and his claim of all the credit for a military operation.
Why did he do it? Matt Bissonnette, who wrote the book No Easy Day under the pseudonym Mark Owen, was effectively pushed out of SEAL Team 6 after he expressed interest last year in leaving the Navy and starting a business. Upset at how he had been treated, Mr. Bissonnette felt less compunction about writing a book that he knew might upset colleagues, the e-book authors say." Why was he pushed out? Because maybe he was an immature prick with a chip on his shoulder who wasn't cut out for leadership?
