Higbie to Fallen SEAL’s Dad: Getting Details of the Op Could Jeopardize Nat’l Security

‘I know as a SEAL, I was in places where I couldn’t tell my family where I was’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HIGBIE: "First off, my heart goes out to the family. This is a very tough situation. The father rightfully is upset. He lost his son. I can understand. But he needs to understand first and foremost is the security of the SEAL teams in the mission status is something that is paramount and unfortunately, I say this with all due respect, he will not get the intimate deals of this operation because it is just not what they signed up for. I know as a SEAL, I was in places where I couldn’t tell my family where I was. If the Pentagon deems that there needs to be in operation for it, then by all means they will. I say to him respectfully, do not count on getting the details of this operation because it could jeopardize national security."
