HEaring on various cables they went in in choppers- one of the choppers crashed (mechanical problem) and they had to stay on the ground in the compound for 40 minutes to destroy chopper and tidy up- get the bodies etc.

bin LAden was shot in the head. 3 other adult men were killed and one woman. The woman was killed because she was used AS A HUMAN SHIELD by one of these cowards. Also killed was one of bin Laden’s sons.

This was a special ops gig from start to finish. I imagine bin Laden is carrying several extra POUNDS of lead..

This was one hell of an operation and I’m in awe of our special forces.

God BLESS our guys.

I know it has been said, but if we went in with Copters the element of surprise is over. They are saying it was a fire fight, OBL taking one to the head sounds more like suicide to me when he knew there was no escape. Still dead however it happened.
