I believe that the Navy SEALS would not go along with any kind of cover-up. They have too much integrity for that.
So, you think if the military sends someone on a classified mission and the president lies about what happened, the people on the mission can just make public statements that contradict what the president says? For instance, we send a Seal team to covertly kill a terrorist hiding out in India, the Indian government complains we violated their sovereignty, and the president says categorically that the US did not kill a terrorist in India, you think the Seal team members can call the NYT and say the president lied? If not, then they're "going along" with a "cover-up." These situations have nothing to do with the integrity of the special forces people conducting such missions. Military personnel have to play by different rules than politicians do.
