The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden... Is Screwed

[tbonez3858]

Article is absolute BS..There is no such thing as a Navy seal that cant find work. Those guys stick together like glue and many of them own defense contracting companies and will only hire former spec op guys. It's basically one of the smallest and most elite brotherhoods on the planet. One of the girls I went to school with father was on Richard Marcinkos team in Vietnam (yes og) and he was a raving alcoholic and decades later team member would still give him well paying job (100k plus).

A better question is who isn't going to give a Seal team member a job (unless it's a field such as a doctor or lawyer)?

Before you all neg me into oblivion, I respect those in the military and ex-military. But I do not think he should be treated special for killing OBL. He was doing his job. About him not receiving pension/healthcare(?), the rules say you have to put in 20 years and he did 16. How can we say he is more special than others who have put their lives on the line in the military? He knew the rules when he decided to leave before 20 years.

The rules of retirement should be differnet for spec op guys..15 in and done.

Lol at you thinking they killed OBL in pak. Absolutely no proof was given, and US govt has an extremely bad record of lying and deceiving its own people and the world. On top of that, war on terror is one of the most unpopular war in the history of united states. First lets have an independent inquiry on 9/11 and than we will talk about who killed OBL.

lol why would the government lie about killing him when he could easily just send out a video saying he isnt dead. you conspiracy theorist are so stupid sometimes. stop smoking so much weed and get a life. you have way too much time on your hands.

brb thinking every major terrorist thing is a conspiracy.

[mindgame]

When you get out of the military you get automatic six years of free healthcare.

Just because he killed OBL doesn't mean he deserves special treatment.

Sure he can be honoured for his bravery. But thats about it

[TLDelaney]

Used like a tool and thrown away, so sad.

So exSeal gets fuked.... yet the #1 terrorist in the world gets "killed" and we dump his body in the ocean without giving proof to the world so that we can "respect" his religion or that there is no chance weirdos go DIG HIM UP, since we're going to give coordinates of where we bury him.

LMFAO at anyone who trusts our govt.

[king_nothing]

I am sure someone in the military can give some better info, but from what I understand all he needed to do was re-enlist for a non combat position (administrative work, training, etc.) for 4 more years and then he is set. 50% pension for the rest of his life.

Sounds like he got some bad advice and panicked. They should let me join back up, get to 20 yrs and be set. Otherwise they need to provide him with some career services to get him set up with a job. Not just give him paychecks.

[YesMad101]

If this were true, don't you think OBL would have released another video of himself to show the American government as a fraud/lie?

This, I fukking Lol in the most cringeworthy way every single time I hear someone speak about OBL and how he died + those who say hes still alive. All he would have to do is release that video (inb4 hurr durr US govt would shut the video down off the entire internet) and America would be the laughing stock of the entire world for frauding.

Call me heartless but why does this guy deserve some sort of special treatment?

Murdering some scapegoat makes you a hero now?

[Tornach]

Could he become a mercenary????

[Stevenson]

Article is way to patriotic, "the three shots that changed history"? It hasn't changed a single thing, terrorists are still around and they still hate America. That and outside of the USA, no one really cared... The sad truth, sorry brahs

[jekene]

why didnt he get the bounty for killing OBL? think it was $25 mil

[OaklandCali]

Osama ain't dead! I just saw him at the liquor store!

"Three of us were driving to our first briefing on the mission," he said. "We were thinking maybe it was Libya, but we knew there would be very high-level brass there. One of my guys says, 'I bet it's bin Laden.'" Another guy told the Shooter, "If it's Osama bin Laden, dude, I will suck yo' dick."

"So after I shoot UBL, I bring him over to see his body. 'Okay,' I told him, 'now is as good a time as any.'"

Haha.

he can find a job anywhere, he's just being too damn picky. the govt has spent probably well over a million dollars to train him, he just doesnt want to do that type of work anymore. prior to the hiring freeze, i saw plenty of GS jobs supporting CENTCOM and other expeditionary units. in all honestly, he did it to himself. he could have coasted a couple of years and would get a crappy pension. he also picked his job. there's an old saying in the navy: choose your rate, choose your fate. he probably thought the grass was greener on the other side, thinking that there would be book and movie deals lining up for him. now he regrets it and he's mad about his decision

[A-GAME]

Lost it at poopyface hahaha

military/govt doesnt get any of it. if so, obama would have gotten it because he "authorized" the shooting. actually, for all we know, maybe that's what really happened.... tbh though, look at how the current administration treats those who help them. the pakistani guy who was basically the informant who told the US govt where OBL was at should have gotten a piece of that pie. instead, the administration left him to rot, as the pakistani authorities punish him for essentially being a sell out.

with his time in service and his experience, everyone up and down his chain of command was doing everything they can to talk him out of it.

[ToPHeR35]

Wait, I thought Obama killed Osama?

[bottle_cap]

why would the government give money to it's veterans when theres plenty of low life scummy ass welfare leeches to give it to instead

Some SEALs must love talking to the public about their missions. Navy might as well include "book writing" and "acting lessons" at BUD/s for part of Phase 3 training. So many Spec Op teams out there, yet it always seems to be the SEALs going Hollywood with missions.

well phuck i dont know, probably because of the fact that he's one of the top special forces operators in the world, and also because he's does more for this country in one day of his deployment than you will do in your entire life?

not to mention that he lays down his life every single day for our country and he will gladly die for it, just as any Navy SEAL will do without hesitation
