re: Meet the guy who killed Osama Bin Laden: Rob O’Neill

Supposed to be? One would think he was "supposed to be" financially taken care of by the government. For example, 5 years service in Congress gains a pension. Now I know Congressional service is dangerous. Hell, members suffer horribly bruised egos all the time. I'm sure it is quite traumatic. But for the government to say to O'Neill, "Your service is literally worth nothing. It is worth no long term fiscal reward. It is worth no recompense at all, and you are not to profit from it after you depart the military," is incredible. His identity is supposed to be classified? Got it. Fair enough. So when he seeks a job in the private sector, what's he supposed to say on his resumé? Who provides his recommendations? Look, I have zero problem with the guy's association with the Bin Laden mission being classified for his own safety. But I have a huge problem if he is not taken care of as compensation. Sounds like the Navy got tired of him, didn't find a spot for him, then just cut him loose after 16yrs in service. If true, it's inexcusable behavior.
