And you can't differentiate between "OSL" and the rest of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda fricks we've killed over the past 14-1/2 years?

I'm pretty sure the Pentagon hasn't released a roster of names listing every SEAL and aviator on the (alleged) UBL mission, but at least two SEALs have come out publicly about their participation in the raid.
Mark Bissonette wrote "No Easy Day" under the nom de plume, Mark Owen. Robert O'Neill was featured in several magazine articles and news interviews. I think he has also written a book. Neither one of them are dead.

Is on Fox News frequently. I just saw him a night or two ago. He is supposedly the one that actually made the kill shot on OBL and he is not dead.
ETA: And if what actually happened is close to the story the public is aware of, those guys are bad arse and incredibly brave.

A bunch of them died, six I think, in a helicopter crash. The details of the crash are still classified. I'm sure that's just a coincidence though.

There are people who believe the raid didn't happen as reported and that the SEALs and 160th SOAR aviators involved were set up to die in combat in order to cover up the conspiracy. The whole premise of this conspiracy theory is just about the zenith of mongoloid reasoning. It's too stupid for any rational individual to even begin to believe.
It would not surprise me if one, or more, of the people involved in the UBL raid have died in combat or on training missions during the past five years. These guys are the pointy end of the spear. Special Operators have a higher mortality rate than your average Supply Sgt, but the "They're All Dead" story is moronic.

I think I've read that there were 22 or 23 SEALs, an Afghan interpreter and a dog on the ground. There were also two modified Black Hawks, at least one Chinook or Pave Low and who knows what other air cover involved. That adds over a dozen more, depending on crew size, to the headcount.
Maybe six or more have died since 2011, but that still leaves about 30 or so who are still alive. They're not all dead.

Not sure why Obama gets any credit for killing Bin Laden. He didn't actually do anything different than bush did in looking for him. All he did was give the OK which, let's face it, was probably one of the easiest calls a president has ever had to make.

Supposedly they had to drag Obama off the golf course to ok the mission

CIA told him it was a 50-50 shot Bin Laden was there. They knew a high value target was most likely in the compound but there was no telling it was him.
If you REALLY want to give credit where credit is due, you should throw the CIA/DoD operators/analysts a parade. Their efforts in locating UBL were phenomenal.
It took some balls to OK the mission as this was a deep strike into another country that we need for future anti-terror operations.
You can disagree with Obama's policies, you can even hate the man but he deserves some credit for authorizing the strike.
If it was GWB in office, I'm sure some of y'all would gleefully give him credit. I'm just saying we all need to reflect on our personal biases possibly clouding our judgement of who gets credit. In the end, it was a complete national effort that killed the bastard.
Zero Dark Thirty was a fantastic movie.

Especially when a major part of his campaign was to ridicule the water boarding interrogation of terrorist that led us to Osama.
