I have been searching for the best thread to post this in. This one is as good as any other.
Now that a few days have gone by, a picture of what really went down is forming in my mind. We sent in roughly 20 of our best of the very best of our best in the world military types into a fortified compound about one acre in size. Entry by the “Front Door” was not practical due to 2 security gates on the only entrance. So, our forces repel in from helos in the middle of the night. No matter how you try to describe it, it is NOT QUIET! hasbin laden had to know he was under attack.
Our 20 or so elite team members systematically swept thru the compound while in a firefight. They split into 2 sub teams each advancing on the two buildings. As they swept / cleared each building, they shot any and all that “needed shootin’”. Anyone still alive was secured and zip-tied.
hasbin laden was found in the 3 story building, on the 3rd floor. He was found in a room with his wife and children near the end or the raid. To me this means that when the raid started, hasben laden knew he was in deep doo-doo. He gathered his wife and kids and hid in a far corner room on the top floor.
In the end, this loud mouthed rich dude who declared war on the United States did not fight, he cowered in the dark behind his wife & kids. I suspect his diaper was quite full as well. The scum that convinced people living in poverty to kill themselves in suicide attacks was himself living in luxury in a mansion, and died a coward’s death. He most likely spent those last 40 minutes whimpering in total fear as the gunfire came closer and closer.
Maybe I am perverted, but the above picture warms these old bones. I am tempted to stand in the front yard and pass out sweets, dance on my tippie-toes, and moon mecca.
We just will not know what and how they did such. We can speculate based on our own experiences yet that is all it would be.
Who is to say that the Helicopter wasn’t dumped in the compound for speed as was done in the Son Tay prison raid in NVA long ago. Did these men on point HAHO in from 20,000 feet 15 miles away for a quiet landing in the compound versus noise of aircraft.
Upon the code word Geronimo were helicopters then diverted to extract the shooters and their prize ?
40 minutes is a hell of a long time on the ground for such efficient theater to perform.
Leave nothing but brass and smoking holes with a few collateral fatalities of those who got in the way and boom yer gone after gear and tools are swept up .......
Unlimited what if scenario we can discuss yet , these guys do have to keep some stuff secret or it’s compromised by their next target or mission.
I have no problem saying good job SEALS and the other members of their team while reminding myself that Erkel Mugabe is not to be believed, trusted or honored in any form .
