First hit piece of 2016? Navy Seal who shot bin Laden on FOX propaganda show

[wyldwolf]

The U.S. Navy SEAL who shot and killed Osama bin Laden during the daring 2011 raid on the terror leader's compound in Abbottobad, Pakistan, has been identified as Rob O'Neill.

According to the Daily Mail, O'Neill, a 38-year-old Butte, Montana, native, is expected to reveal himself as the shooter in a Fox News special, "The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden," later this month.

1. Fox and Mr. O'Neill are going to find out very quickly that nobody gives a shit

Osama who?

Whatever.

4. Or maybe someone in Iraq or Afghanistan or Syria does? I don't think I would reveal my ID. Have

more concern for my family and friends instead of the ego.

9. whoever makes the Obama accomplishments list that get posted

every so often seem to think it is a big enough deal to include!

2. Stupid selfish decision.

I have a friend on Facebook, an Iraq War vet, who noted how stupid it was for O'Neill to reveal himself and potentially put those around him in danger for their association with him.

3. I thought Navy SEALs had more honor than to go on FOX noise

And I didn't think they sought personal recognition for their service.

5. They are supposed to

But this guy is SPECIAL.

6. The entire story is questionable

First, has it been confirmed he was the shooter? I question the media's ability to vet that thoroughly.

Second, I find his claims about his healthcare to be dubious.

Third, the entire point of the special is to make Obama look bad.

Fourth, this guy is someone who is seeking attention for reasons that go beyond his alleged healthcare issues.

Fifth, he's a moron for revealing his identity.

12. Trained 800+ "operatives" and ...

"retired" 4 years short of full pension?

I suspect he got "retired"; rather than, re-assigned to a training group. And when that happens, there usually is a good damned reason.

8. Yes - link - the SEALS are not happy about this

11. As I've said before ...

Over the years, I have come to know a bunch of Veterans, many of whom served in Special Operations. I have found that NONE of them talk about their service ... you're hard pressed to get WHERE they served, much less what they did ... outside of their circle.

7. Let me guess someone is butt hurt he didn't get a Parade when he returned to the US for doing his

job. I can already see how this show is going to go, Mr. O'Neill will be going on and on how him and his team has not received the proper credit and the Obama bashing will commence. Guess what Mr. O'Neill you did your job and you don't get a special cookie for it. And you did not find bin Laden by yourself, you just dropped in and put a bullet in him so congrats, get on with your life.

13. Plus they were sup[posed to bring him back alive and he was not even armed at the time.

Basically he shot an unarmed man in cold blood, and is now on Fox News bragging about it.

10. Evidently, modesty isn't one of his strong suits.

Seriously, what the hell is the point of this?

14. Assuming this guy really IS or WAS a Navy SEAL. . .

. . .he better be looking over his shoulder from here on out.

Somehow, I don't believe his fellow Navy SEALS will have his back after he basically kicked their code of honor in the nads and then crapped on it.
