SEAL who killed bin Laden is a Griz fan!

[horribilisfan8184]

C'mon G. Not a single thing wrong with the death of pure evil. Give a little slack to those who find joy, honor and comfort in the death of evil.

Did I say there was anything wrong with ending evil? No I did not, I just think enjoying it and acting like a giddy schoolgirl is pure poppycock. In football we say act like you have been there.

Having both of your screen names argue with each other is a very effective subterfuge. Almost as effective as Iron2506's subterfuge

Wrong guess, and not an argument, just trying to give the guy an out and flush a little steam out of this inconsequential pissing match. Celebrating the triump over evil is not the same as celebrating death, a perspective I felt was being missed.

There seem to be quite a few holes in O'Neill's version of events. I can't blame the guy for cashing in, but if he's taking sole credit for something he may not have done, he's toast in the SEAL community. Seems like he is already, apparently.

But multiple special operations sources, as well as Bissonnette’s own account in his book, No Easy Day, say the still unidentified point man fired first at bin Laden and scored a direct hit, striking him in the skull. If true, that was the shot that almost certainly killed the terrorist leader, not O’Neill’s.

The point man, according to those who know him, is still serving with the SEALs. He’s described as quiet and not a fame-seeker. It’s unknown whether he has any plans he to write a book or speak publicly about his role in the raid. But the point man has told others outside the military that he was part of the mission in Abbottabad.

Living a few miles from Coronado and having a HS friend that retired from Seal Team 7, I have
talked to many of these guys over the years. Most SEALS are very unassuming and very cerebral. They are the opposite of the attention seeker types. The code is very strict in "the teams". I believe the Navy actually discourages moving the loud braggard types into these roles. Your discription above has been my experience. Although after a few "pops", my friend has told me some pretty wild stuff about what he saw in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Interesting. A coworker of mine has a former SEAL friend. He said he asked the former SEAL one night about different combat scenarios and how the SEAL would react. When asked what if a dude has a gun 20 yards away, and you are unarmed, the SEAL said he would run. When asked what if a dude had a gun point blank (with my coworker making a gun symbol with his hand to the SEAL's head), the SEAL turned around the hand to point the "gun" right between my coworker's eyes in less than a second. When asked what if a guy was point blank with a knife, the SEAL responded, "that would be a disadvantage for him."

After reading in an article how he has instructed family to defend themselves..... this sounds like could become a movie script. Seal kills terroist....they seek him.out....working class family in blue collar town stand up to the terrorists and rain some hell on them.

 

[Umista]

By now big g is in bed hiding under the covers. Served? Peace corps perhaps.

In any event just ask yourself would your rather sit next to the Navy Seal or big g during the Griz-cat Game? Actually the thought of sitting next to pig g in church is more than I can handle.

In fact can U imagine sitting next to such a scum bag....ever?

Big G = Alpha?

Why is this thread still going?

 

[mikegriz]

And the "Montana Grizzlies Football and the FCS" related content is?

If I were a mod, I'd get this thread off of what is supposed to be a football board!

Yet michael, you are actively participating in a thread asking why Butte is such a Griz town.

And so I ask you "the "Montana Grizzlies Football and the FCS" related content is?"

Look to have about the same relevance

Nice handle on your Montana history 75!

Hey, I remember you, weren't you sitting just 397 people over from me? Perhaps the best class I ever took at UM

Yeah, sounds unbelievable, and reads like fiction...

I'd rather sit next to the guy who didn't just brag to the world he killed Osama bin Laden, and then trained his family how to defend themselves should they be targeted for his bragging about killing OBL. :shock:

Ugh. What a dumb post.

Hammer lives in Butte... Delta Forces right?


Anybody tries any shit in Butte is fuc*ed

 

[Big G]

Butte is a dirty town, needs an enema of biblical proportions. History aside it is no more tough than any other town in the state. Only saving grace is there political leanings.

Montana's real SEAL

Wow. Time to comment. First, this thread should not be on this board. Montana has many Seals. None have commented on this topic. Military retirement full benefits kick at 20 years. Quit early, Nada. You signed your name. You also signed to a code. You violated that. I don't care who you shot or what your record was. You were a member of a brotherhood of quiet heroes. You outed all those brothers and the mission. Be happy where you are but expect nothing going forward. You are what you are.

 

[GrizzleMoose]

You guys realize he/she/it is just doing this for fun and laughing at every response you give him. Without an audience, there is no performance.

This is not fun, in a way it is eye opening. I thought there was much more compassion in the world but many people on here want to make a man that took a persons life a celebrity. I had more faith in mankind but maybe I need to rethink that.

"rethink"? How about thinking in the first place. You seem to want to believe that OBL had value as a human being -- and if he did then he had to be aware that doing what he did could lead to the end of his own life. He made that choice. And it cost him. You expect people to feel bad about that? Apparently you didn't lose anyone (all completely innocent lives) in the World Trade Center attack... I am certainly glad I don't know you. I am sorry to now know that there are actually people like you living in this country.

Since most of you are missing the point, let us try this a different way. After the WTC bombing and you were watching muslim people celebrate the incident laughing dancing and enjoying there win. You are now those people who enjoy death and make a party out of it.

Except those people were celebrating the death of thousands of innocent civilians. The death of one evil individual who is responsible for cowardly terrorism is something totally different. I don't think people are celebrating his death so much on this thread as they are celebrating a true American Hero who risked his life for YOUR freedom and security. Please see it for what it really is, douchebag!

 

[Big G]

The guy this thread is about is not an american hero, he is selling his dignity for money. He is letting down dozens of brothers that took the same oath as him and now they all think he is a traitor. I happen to agree, you have to be pretty messed up to sell a story like that for money and all the ego stroking that goes with it. Many words for a guy like that but hero is not one of them

I've lived in over a half dozen towns in this state including Butte. It is exponentially tougher... :egriz:

 

[grizzpa]

Big G - an obvious keyboard tough guy - you should go to Butte and look up the honorable Mr. O"Neill and share your thoughts on him and Butte. You may get to experience Butte tough first hand.....
