Did Navy SEALs threaten national security in revealing secrets for a video game? Fmr. Navy SEAL commando weighs in

From CNN's Security Clearance blog:

Seven U.S. Navy SEALs have been reprimanded for giving up classified information connected to their trade craft so a video game could seem more realistic, according to a navy official.

The seven were charged with the unauthorized showing of their official combat gear and dereliction of duty for disclosing classified material after an investigation found the seven to have worked as paid consultants for two days with the video game company Electronic Arts, according to a U.S. Navy official familiar with the investigation.

The work, done around the late spring and early summer, was unauthorized by their commanders and against military regulations according to the Navy official.

All seven are active duty members of SEAL Team 6, considered the most elite of the Navy’s SEAL community. At least one of the team members was on the raid that killed Osama bin Laden last year, according to a Navy official.

This morning on "Starting Point," Former United States Navy SEAL Commando Christopher Mark Heben weighs in on what the SEALS could have shared, and whether it could put our troops in harms way.
