Sean Naylor (author) has successfully exploited JSOC as a personal commercial enterprise by publishing a book. "relentless strike".

A movie is sure to follow-

Six little-known stories about secretive Joint Special Operations Command, as told in a new book

'Relentless Strike,' written by veteran journalist Sean Naylor, was released Tuesday.

Any time something like this is released I'm sure many cringe. Hopefully this was vetted through more channels than identified.

The one thing I will say is his personal experience is all he would have to draw on so that part shouldn't necessarily be held against him. It also potentially serves as a JSOC marketing tool if used correctly.

As long as it portrays JSOC in a good light, I don't mind. The public need to be educated, and a book is probably better than a movie!

I don't understand how the books profits haven't been seized yet. Do they not sign a statement of non-disclosure in JSOC? I remember signing one before that said anything I write in the next 80 years concerning operations of the unit would be forfeited to the US government.
