Seals are a team and no one toots their own born. Ever notice that O’Neil is ever with other Seals? They can’t stand him.

Has it occurred to anyone that if O’Neil is taking credit for a kill he didn’t carry out, this protects the hero SEAL who really did it?

Starting a fight in a bar with any Navy Seal seems stupid, why not sock a computer programer or interior decorator?

I’m hoping they stuck a couple of pork chops in Bin Laden’s pocket before he was “buried at sea”.

Gus like Oneil have been to hell andback many times. If he branga little hellback with him from US NAvy Commander Dick Marcenkos Team 6 world, I give him the benefit of the doubt.

If he wants to tangle with some real lefty idiots, he should headt for Fulton County.And if Oneil wants to become the Samuel Adams of our times, I would be happy to carry a rifle with him.

He must have been in the CIA tent in 2002 when OBL died the first time.....maybe he pulled the plug on CIA asset OBL!!

https://www.military.com/history/6-wildest-conspiracy-theories-about-osama-bin-ladens-death.html

1. Osama Bin Laden Died in December 2001 Some say the world’s most wanted terrorist was suffering from Marfan Syndrome, a genetic mutation that affects the proteins keeping the body’s tissue together. According to former State Department official Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, bin Laden looked like a textbook case of the disorder. His tall frame, long limbs and long face all displayed classic symptoms.

The disease affects one in about 5,000 people and can cause sudden death, and there is no definitive DNA test for it. Instead, doctors begin with judging the outward appearance of a suspected “Marfanoid” person -- someone thin and often lanky, sometimes with spidery fingers and curved spines. Pieczenik claimed CIA doctors had treated OBL for Marfan, and the al-Qaida leader died just months after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Other claims say he died at the same time, but of renal failure, not Marfan Syndrome.

.........................

I'll take #1 Alex with the marfan disease

Generative AI is experimental. Info quality may vary.

On August 6, 2011, a Chinook helicopter carrying members of SEAL Team 6 was shot down in Afghanistan.

The crash killed all 38 people on board, including 15 Navy SEALS from Team Six’s Gold Squadron. The crash was the single deadliest incident for the US military during the War in Afghanistan.

The helicopter was shot down by a Taliban rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) while it was about 100–150 feet off the ground. The team was responding to an Army Ranger unit that was involved in a firefight with Taliban fighters.
The crash was the largest loss of life by the U.S. in the Afghan War. The team was responding to a unit that was involved in a firefight with Taliban fighters and needed reinforcements.

Supposedly, none of the SEALs killed in the crash were part of the Bin Laden mission

You know, I have to admit, such a thing never even crossed my mind. Someone should run this by Travis McGee. And he could probably peel back the onion better than anyone else here.

Hell Seymore Hersh has a theory that Osama was captured early on… and the “kill” was when we finally decided to execute him. Not my theory but he has actually out out a book to that effect.

Class A misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury.

Sounds like someone decided to test him didn’t work.

Nurse give me another shot it still hurts.

At most he came in late and blew up already-dead OBL’s face.

Wrecking the “proof of life” photo.

Then the book tour and the $$.

SEALs used to be called “the silent option.” Now they are the blowhards that won’t shut the hell up.

See 37.

Way back in time, SEALs did NOT get tattoos, for example. If you already had an USN anchor tat on your arm, okay. But NO MORE.

Why? They were a covert/clandestine group. We did not have name tags sewn on our camo uniforms. Tats were just blowing your cover. Okay, I have an old USN anchor tat? Okay, I used to be in the Navy. That was IT.

NOBODY wrote books about their VN era experiences, because the tactics were so easy to defeat if you understood them. It would be like a ninja writing a book, “Ten Rules of Ninjas, and How To Catch and Kill Them in the Act.”

It was just...not...done. PERIOD.
Somewhere it got off the tracks. Now, sleeve tats are the norm. And guys get into NavSpecWar PLANNING how to profit off it. And if giving away the trade secrets = $$$, but might ruin future missions and get SEALs killed, WHO CARES??

R. O. fits into that category, BIG TIME.

All I know is that when I came back from Iraq, they specifically told us not to say anything for 10 years. If telling the world you killed Osama bin Ladin doesn’t violate OPSEC then nothing will. The US government can stop you from telling the truth, but they can’t legally stop you from telling a lie. Even as I post on this thread, they still have a tag on my channel or Whatever you call it -that says loose lips sink ships . And that came from when I was discussing military operations on this very site almost 20 years ago.
