Navy SEAL's book on the bin Laden killing shows the real reason photos of the body were never released:

LINK
quote:

"In less than a second, I aimed above the woman's right shoulder and pulled the trigger twice," he wrote, according to the New York Daily News. "Bin Laden's head split open, and he dropped. I put another bullet in his head. Insurance."

quote:

O'Neill's book says the operators had to press bin Laden's head back together to take identifying photos.

quote:

several SEALs took turns dumping round after round into bin Laden's body, which ended up having more than 100 bullet holes in it.

Too bad they couldn't have disemboweled him and hung him from his feet on a bridge where every savage in that part of the world could see what will happen to them when they mess with the U.S..

How many of these guys are going to claim to be the one who shot bin Laden?

eta: I wonder if this is the same guy who the "Shooter" article in Esquire is about? LINK

Why is it you never hear Army SF talking about how cool they are

I'm sorry but I believe less than half of what these SEALs say anymore. Marcus Luttrell's book was so over-the-top and self-worshiping.

If you dedicate your life to this profession, keep your mouth shut.

That's very disappointing. Shows lack of discipline and professionalism. I've heard for years from other military people that many seals are very unprofessional, and that snippet supports that claim.

Well, if a SEAL shows he stands out even among SEALs, the US Army Delta Force might, keyword being MIGHT, let him join them.

That's an excuse I can get down with. Still I would have enjoyed seeing his arse with so many holes in him he'd resemble Baton Rouge roadways.

The one thing that irks me about that whole deal was hurrying up and burying his arse in accordance with Muslim law.

The 'real' Muslims say the terrorists are not real Muslims, so why treat him as one. If they would have gotten upset about us hanging onto his dead arse for a few extra days, then you know that the 'real' Muslims are cool with the whole terrorist thing.

That's just stupid, third worldish, and not what i'd expect from our military. This is something someone who enjoys murdering people would do.
