Heh, and speaking as a former Marine...the Air Force is the best. Man, most of the Air Force people I bumped into had more freedom than I do now as civilian. It was like they were not even in the military...more like high school.

As a military member you CANNOT do whatever the hell you want, there are standards of behaviour that applies even when you're out of uniform (and on active duty) -- The SEAL members that shared classified info violated the UCMJ and if you violate the UCMJ (uniform code of military justice), you WILL pay the price.
I don't believe civvies will ever understand this. You can't break the rules in the military unless you want to see the man and lose rank / money. Losing rank when you're well into your career will break your ability to retire or even stay in. You can vilify the brass all you want -- but the SEAL members violated the UCMJ period. The UCMJ is black and white and has existed for a long time - you cannot ever, under any circumstance, share classified information.
This isn't the civilian world where you can BS your way out of breaking the rules. You break the rules and get caught while under military contract, you will get NJP'ed or court martialed for a serious offense. If any of these happen to you, it can destroy your life if severe enough, so obviously military members usually try to avoid being in the wrong -- military justice is harsh. Don't like it? They shouldn't have joined - they knew they were in the wrong by sharing this info, I am certain of this. All military members have a good understanding of what they can and cannot do, there are not many shades of gray here.

My perspective is slightly skewed since I was an outsider looking in, but while doing 2 deployments to Afghanistan I was just in disbelief at how good they have it at places like Bagram air base or Manas air base. Of course grunts on the ground will always have it the worst, but its whatever really....some people (including myself) took pride in toughing it out. Being pampered is for girls
That said, I appreciate everyone doing their part. I know the air force guys have to do their 14-15 hour work days over there so they're doing their fair share. Can't hate on that. They're working hard just like everyone else, just in different ways.

I was an OP in the Artillery and did a lot of work with FAC's etc as a signaller. Good times.

True that I'm not talking bad about the air force, hopefully it didn't come across like that.

How are the accurate and in-depth books different from consulting on a video game? There's no uproar over this book right?
