Proof that video games keep getting more and more realistic: Seven U.S. Navy SEALs, including one who participated in last year's raid that killed Osama bin Laden, have been disciplined by the Navy for divulging secrets while serving as consultants for the new Medal of Honor: Warfighter video game released by Electronic Arts

The Navy hasn't said exactly what secrets the two Senior Chief Special Operators and five Chief Special Operators exposed, but the seven were charged with violation of orders, misuse of command gear, dereliction of duty, and the disclosure of classified information. Each received a reprimand letter and had his pay docked by half for two months.
