Navy SEAL Writes Book - Small Fine Levied

This all started when everybody in uniform became an automatic Hero. The MACV-SOG guys never wrote tell-all books because, given the atmosphere BITD, they probably would've been prosecuted on trumped-up war crimes charges. :rolleyes::mad: And maybe they took their oath of secrecy seriously.

Boy, Rob Riggle had it nailed, didn't he?
 
DoD dropped the case after lengthy legal wrangling by Bisonette's lawyers. The Obama administration was taking heat for trying to prosecute a "hero"...and for administration officials themselves leaking a lot of the info about the Bin Laden raid before the book was published. Panetta, the CIA director even wrote a book. So the whole case against Bisonette was worked out in a legal settlement, the result of which is outlined in the OP. His lawyers could point out a number of officials who were publicly "crowing" about the raid so there was potential for embarrassment if the Bisonette prosecution was pursued.

Btw, I find it interesting that Bisonette disputes O'Neil's claim that O'Neil fired the fatal shots into UBL, saying an unnamed 3rd SEAL was the killer. This is almost funny...
