The guy was an idiot. His wife did adult video stuff before, fine. They were two million something in debt due to her attempt to do real estate and failing miserably. The dude showed his face and it was a part of his schtick in videos to talk about being a Seal. Persec exists for a reason.
The "reason" given for him participating to save costs on men to be in videos with his wife. Just because his wife does porn, apparently enough to be recognized in a job interview for a more mundane job, there are likely a plethora of men who would jump at the chance to fuck her. For free. Instead he does porn, shows his face, brags about being a Seal, in spite of knowing Persec is a thing, and that archaic as it may be, fidelity is something the military does care about. They also care if someone is that heavily in debt. If he wanted to make extra money outside of the military, it's pretty common for guys to be a bouncer or some such. They just have to get it sanctioned. If for whatever reason he didn't want to do that, there were much smarter ways he could have gone about it.
He could have done POV shit and kept his fucking mouth shut about being a Seal and it would likely have never been an issue. It's bigger than just his spouse being okay with it.
