SEAL/Act of Valor blowback...reading between the lines.

I saw this article on Military.com and it gone my head spinning.  Go to the site to read the whole thing but check out this snippets....
"All evolutions you see in the movie involving ranges, vessels, aircraft, and submarines were part of regularly scheduled training and were at no cost to the Navy or American taxpayers," the Navy's Office of Information said in a statement. "The Navy will not financially profit from AOV."
and then this...
 "I hope, personally, to be 'one and done' with the sanctioned movie business for awhile," Rear Admiral Sean Prybus, head of Navy Special Warfare, said at the AFCEA West convention in San Diego a few weeks ago. "Navy Special Warfare is challenged in this environment -- with the media exposure -- and the number of public domain transactions. Operational security matters to us. We, as a community, are not used to operating under such a spotlight
Interesting.
 
A highly decorated, former Special Ops General and basically the creator of SOCOM yelled at the head of SOCOM (a Navy SEAL) and told him to get out of the media.

The media laughed and the prick Admiral made a snide remark which amounted to...its the world we live in, its not my fault.

NOW...we have the head of Navy Special Warfare saying that he hopes this is a "one and done".

Translation.

The SEALs are getting blowback from the Special Ops Community.  I predicted that it would be the US Army Special Forces that would lead the charge to get the SEALs to STFU and I don't know cause I'm not there but it sure looks like its happening.
