Did information in a Tom Clancy book result in the death of a US Navy Seal?

Question

I heard that a Tom Clancy novel contained classified information which ending up getting a Navy Seal killed. Any truth to that? I suspect it is just a stupid rumor, but Clancy does know a lot about all things military.

Answer 1

I think unlikely, but who can say. I mean if I recall correctly, Clancy said the sailors on the Kursk were propbably already dead while everyone was trying to figure out how to rescue them. And on September 11, 2001 all I could think of when every one was reporting the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon was that it sounded just like what happened at the end of Debt of Honor.
