Chuck Pfarrer left the Navy in 1989 to write fiction such as the awful movie "Barb Wire." Gotta remember that Disney filed to trademark "SEAL Team 6" the day after the Bin Laden raid. This little PR fluff is just Pfarrer positioning for his storyline.
Entertaining story.....but lousy history.

Really , you read the whole book? He dedicates a whole chapter to telling how he got his information directly from members of Seal Team 6 who were involved in the mission to get Osama. There were never any claims in the book that he was involved in the operation. As far as Disney is concerned, when Leon Panetta was promoted out of the CIA his people approached a Oscar winning director Kathryn Bigelow to make a movie for Sony pictures, this after being told by the WhiteHouse not to tell any stories. I think you should read the whole book from cover to cover first..
