"Ask your [Delta Force] friends about the highest profile Op they've done lately... and you'll hear the crickets chirping loudly. It's not because they are not talking about it, but because they are not being chosen to do them," the anonymous author wrote. "The real answer is... It was, and still is, OUR time. Period."

"The NDAs are thorough enough," Webb says. "They're making an example [of Bissonnette and O'Neill] because they apparently violated an oath to not disclose confidential material. If you're going to break the rules, you have to live with the consequences."

Without punishment, the precedent set by these leaks could be more dangerous than any classified information revealed thus far.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
