The article does not say how long Seal Team 6 waited on the tarmac in Afghanistan waiting for the fearless leader to finish his beauty sleep and golf game while deciding to give the green light.

What a ridiculous opening to the article. No he didn't. He looked precisely like he'd been golfing just minutes before and hurriedly threw on a sport coat to hide his polo shirt for a stupid photo op.
