Sealed For Silence – Opinions From E. Curtis Johnson [VIDEO]

For two years I lived close to the Navy SEAL base on the Coronado Strand in San Diego. I became good friends with a neighbor who was a SEAL. Because of my respect for him and the SEALS, I’ve wrestled with my thoughts on former Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill telling the story of shooting Osama bin Laden. You decided for you. For me, I’ve decided that O’Neill did his duty by going on what he thought was a one-way mission, yet, lived to tell about it. I’d rather hear the account from the man who was there instead of through filtered and sanitized official sources. I’m E. Curtis Johnson, average American citizen. Darn it, the old commercial for the tabloid was right, “Enquiring minds want to know” and I have an enquiring mind. Did O’Neill break his oath on anonymity? The SEALs can enforce their own honor code amongst themselves. I’m not about to get in the middle of SEALS fighting about anything. Here’s a question. If selfless service and anonymity was so critical, why did President Obama reveal that a SEAL team got bin Laden in the first place?
