far cry from the blazing firefight described at first , with muslims tossing women in front of bin laden to protect him like pillows while osama fights to the bitter end guns blazing.

so basically in a nutshell one guy managed to pop off a couple shots and everyone else was unarmed they just killed .. lol just a tad different

They invaded a foreign country, next to a well armed military school, shots where fired in the pitch black, Four or five people were shot down, and helicopter was down... Sounds pretty fucking intense to me.

Your thinking that someone lied, and that they lied intentionally. As the original details came it they didn't have all of the information, and went with that they have. They called it a "fierce firefight". I'll say it again - the most elite team in the world flew into a foreign country and started a fire fight in the middle of the night where shots were fired, a helicopter was destroyed, a fortified compound with armed men was attacked, and half a dozen people killed - plus they had children involved. Sounds pretty fucking fierce to me.

As for the fact that he was unarmed, don't care. This isn't your local police with a warrant. They shot first and ask questions later. This isn't even open to discussion. Ever.



Only one person was armed with a gun, but that's not to say there wasn't other guns in the room where Bin Laden was killed. And again, it's not open to discussion. Their objective wasn't to subdue people; Their objective was to force their way into a compound and kill anyone and everyone who got in their way. They didn't knock and say "we have a warrant" and there was none of this "freeze, put your hands up" and "lay down on the ground". Some above said it already - they throw grenades into a room to kill anyone in there before entering.

It's not even something that is open to discussion.
