Navy SEALs tell CBS News "lawless" members plague teams with criminality, drug abuse and profiteering
Last Updated Apr 30, 2021 2:19 PM EDT
Both former and active-duty Navy SEALs are sounding the alarm over well-documented cases of criminality, drug use and exploitation of the elite military unit's brand, just as they prepare to mark 10 years since a SEAL team killed Osama bin Laden in a daring raid in Pakistan.
CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge spoke with more than a dozen people in the SEAL community, including current and former SEALs, on the condition of anonymity. They told her that while the vast majority of their fellow SEALs serve honorably, there is a corrupt element in their brotherhood.
"We love the job. We love the community. But it has taken a wrong turn," one SEAL told Herridge.
