The U.S. Navy SEAL who shot and killed Osama bin Laden is speaking out for the first time since the May 1, 2011, raid on the al-Qaida leader's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
In an interview with Esquire, the former SEAL—identified as "The Shooter" due to what the magazine described as "safety" reasons—said he's been largely abandoned by the U.S. government since leaving the military last fall.
He told Esquire he decided to speak out to both correct the record of the bin Laden mission and to put a spotlight on how some of the U.S. military's highly trained and accomplished soldiers are treated by the government once they return to civilian life.
Despite killing the world's most-wanted terrorist, he said, he was not given a pension, health care or protection for himself or his family.
"[SEAL command] told me they could get me a job driving a beer truck in Milwaukee," he told Esquire.

Although it's rumored Bin Laden died 8 years previous of kidney failure. So got to wonder about main stream news!
Above pic is photoshop fake of Osama's beard circa '01 on another arab man with a instantly fatal gunshot wound. Ten years faded his face pelt considerably and the "authentic" had visible brain tissue emerging from the forehead.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I was hoping someone would point this out! That death pic is a complete fabrication, as is the tale (fairy tale) of his demise by the seals. OBL died in December 01' of kidney failure, as was reported by several major papers in the middle east!
DeleteAnd you believe the papers in the middle east because.....
Deleteand you dont because??
DeleteBecause they would definitely fabricate news stories to keep him in hiding. Really?
DeleteI'll admit that I had this sort of paranoia when Bush was in office, but then I realized how silly it was to think such extreme thoughts. Keep calm and carry on.
DeleteI'm from Pakistan, OBL was a patient of chronic kidney disease and his dialyzes were used to done in the hospitals of Pakistan. In 2005 he died in his hideouts in Afghanistan because of he didn't access to a proper medical treatment. His personal medic was also from Pakistan. The operation of 2 May is a inside job.
DeletePerhaps his service record was not quite impressive. May be he would would do some good in Truck driving. ;)
