Article in March Esquire, online here: http://www.esquire.com/features/man-who-shot-osama-bin-laden-0313

They editorialize about veteran's benefits a bit much. The anecdotes about Seal Team 6 life brings a human aspect to the lives these men led.

What did everyone else think?

You're not very familiar with how the SEALs clear a building, are you?

The only way you're not getting shot is if you're in a fetal position cowering in a corner.

Right because all soldiers are trained right away to kill women and children... Collateral damage happens but they don't right away shoot to kill any children and women they see, you jackass.

Alright, now I'm not saying you're wrong, but unless you're legit ex-navy or ex-military, you're just another civilian speculating.

What evidence is their to prove that Bin Laden killed 3000 people on American soil. Other than the fake video of him admitting it.

You think the US government can cover up world media? Are you fucking serious or is this all a joke?

I don't think that DEVGRU guys are any more entitled than another military member. They are paid in accordance with the Navy rank structure, their deployments, combat pays, etc. There isn't "Badass Pay" or anything like that and they know it. Those guys also know their skills are basically useless in the civilian world. I'm not sure what the stink is about, this guy is choosing to leave after 16 years when he could likely find a desk job or go active reserve/guard or something to get to 20 years and retire on half of his pay until the day he dies.
