Seven US Navy SEALs Shared Classified Info for Video Game
07:42 09/11/2012 MOSCOW, November 9 (RIA Novosti) - Seven officers from the US Navy SEALs, which is an elite part of force that operates on secret missions, were disciplined for revealing classified information for a video game, CBS News reported.
According to CBS News, all seven of them worked for two days as paid consultants for a recently released video game “Medal of Honor: Warfighter.”
It was not specified what secrets they exactly gave to the Electronic Arts, which produced the game, but one of the game’s missions portrays an attack on Somali pirates, a mission that could be carried out by SEALs in reality.
One of the reprimanded special task officers took part in the raid which killed Osama bin Laden. All seven remain on active duty, while four more members of the team were put under investigation.
