Yup it is what it is.........meh, I knew what I was getting when I signed up and when I got out.
However, if this guy is worried about his name becoming known, why is he talking to a rag writer?
And just how long do you thing the rag writer will hold out if a member of his family is being threatened with harm, or if some terrorist sympathizer is going medieval on him until he talks?why is he talking to a rag writer?

That's what I mean, if I were worried about being found, I wouldn't go doing jumping jacks and yelling about anything to the media, never mind trying to tug at the heart strings of people that are shamed into feeling bad for the .mil because they really don't give a shit about them every other day of the week.
im finding hard to understand how a former SEAL with such top rank mission history would have a hard time using that towards a private career post service.
law enforcement, contract security, consultant, trainer...so many possibilities

I agree, anyone who joins the military knows they need to do 20 yrs to get retirement benefits. 16 yrs is not enough. The Navy did not leave him out in the cold. When he separated, if he had any medical issues he would have qualified for disability. Something is fishy about this story.The story is bullshit. OIF/OEF vets qualify for 5 years of health care through the VA. This guy was in the Navy for 16 years and doesn't know these basic things, not to mention he's former elite of the elite with security clearances....all kinds of companies snatch these guys up.
Perhaps he is getting paid enough to meet some of his goals of fading into the background.why is he talking to a rag writer?

I'm torn here. Yes, the soldier knew that 20 years was required to get benefits. At the same time, this was the world's most wanted man and the US was offering a multi-million dollar bounty for his capture. Why shouldn't this team of soldiers get a "bonus" for taking him down, as well as the CIA agent who's intelligence got them there? Sure, maybe not the entire reward since they were doing a job they signed on for, but a bonus wouldn't be so bad.
