The makers of "Medal of Honor: Warfighter" say they've delivered an accurate experience of war, based on help from the experts. But now members of an elite unit of the U.S. Navy SEALS have been disciplined for working as paid consultants on the videogame. Seven special forces members, believed to be from the elite SEAL Team Six, have been reprimanded for disclosing classified information and misusing equipment. One of them participated in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. All seven received a letter of reprimand and were docked pay for their actions. Sources say other members of the team are also under investigation.
