OBL shooter identified

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

I left at 16 years and needed 20 for pension. They say SEALs are 1 inch shorter when they leave because of the boats ramming on tops of their heads and compressing their spinal discs. I do think those guys shouldn't get their pensions treated as regular Navy gys. Especially DEVGRU (SEAL Team 6). Those guys have to spend several deployments on regular teams, then train for DEVGRU, then maybe get a few deployments with them until they get killed or severely injured.

That's beside the point. What I think the shooter honestly did was he saw Mark Owen's success, and I think he quit the Navy hoping for a book deal, movie deal, or some kind of consulting gig. I think Mark Owen and the publishing company got the lawsuits, all the trouble from the Pentagon, and I think publishers didn't want to touch him, and now his money making potential is way lower, due to timing.

Ultimately he just tried to catch the wave and timed it wrong.

EDIT: If you don't know who mark Owen is, it's the pen name of the SEAL standing behind the shooter, the 2nd guy that went through the door. He also shot Osama, after Osama was on the floor, and wrote the book No Easy Day, detailing the raid. He has 2 interviews on 60 minutes. One in 2012, and one from the other week, that can be seen here:

whats funny is that at the very least, this does confirm OBL died 3 years ago

I knew a Navy SEAL. During his time in, he just told everyone he was a trainer in the Navy.

how badly did he embarrass you at the range?

We never went shooting. I knew him before I was a cop.
Dude was skinny but muscular. He never talked about his workout regimen. He had flat abs all year long. My flab would fluctuate from Larry Holmes status to Prince Fielder status and yo yo around.

I've seen footage of US Navy SEAL try-outs. Call me a p*ssy but there's no way I could handle that.

money/ opportunities/ pensions for these guys especially not the well adjusted ones who don't go on to some lucrative gig.


I like hearing about these operations but the fact future things can be messed up doesn't sit well maybe a time limit.

I know the SAS doesn't have this problem, I think they're sworn secrecy... I'm pretty sure our special ops guys are too though...
