Someone asked this same question on a Facebook discussion about this same topic. This was my response:
The Special Operations community is a small, tight knit community with some unwritten rules of which Ventura was certainly well aware. And one of the rules is, sometimes getting your ass whipped is the appropriate and expected response. This was one of those cases. In my opinion, Ventura should be glad it was only one punch from one guy and not a beat down by the entire team, which also would have justified in this case. Telling someone that their friend or family member deserved to die because of decisions made by politicians they never met is begging to get your ass kicked every day of the week and twice on Sunday. In truth Ventura should thank Kyle for so swiftly and effectively answering his pleas. But Kyle, being they Type-A bad ass that he is would probably just shrug it off and say, "No thanks necessary. I was just doing what had to be done."
