Well done

Wouldn't doubt some people actually feel that way....






....and they'd probably be white, male, & located in flyover country

Long, but a very good read.

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

20 years is 20 years, go back in for 4 more years... You aren't special because you shot Bin Laden. Every service person is expected to give the same time frame to get those benefits...

This.

I will add, if he wasn't aware of his medical benefits getting out, he had no one to blame but himself. I had so many people telling me, or trying to tell me, about my benefits that I got sick of hearing about it.

There was a MASSIVE team effort involved in finding Bin Laden. "The Shooter" was just the last link in a very long chain. Props for your distinguished service. Fuck you very much for thinking you're owed more than, say, the victors of the COP Keating defense.

I hear ya! And I mean no disrespect, as I don't HAVE any experience in the armed forces of any kind, so my opinion means very little, and I know that. But I would think that being the "tool" that finally completed a decade long search for the MOST wanted man in the world, would be one hellova mind-fuck.

Had they just been told this was just a target that had to be eliminated, then it would have been a day like any other day (in their world) but to assign the pressure of who it was?!?!?

It seems more like the author is the one really pushing the whole "Shit out of luck" angle. If the shooter really did get out because he wanted to be with his family and not end up in a body bag then I can't really fault him for that.

I don't either, more power to him, I feel bad he is in that position, but he chose that life.
