In February of this year, Esquire magazine published a lengthy profile of "The mad who killed Osama bin Laden." The story did not identify the shooter by name, however there has been another member of the SEAL team 6 that spoke out saying that the story was "complete BS". All of the ember of the SEAL team 6 are on a serious lockdown when it comes to talking to anyone about what happened they night that the al Qaeda leader was killed. This inaccurate story in Esquire magazine has created frustration among the team.
This reminded me of the movie "Zero dark Thirty" that publicized the events that lead up to May 2, 2011, the day that bin Laden was killed. The movie to me, proved that there are many disconnects when it comes to concrete and true information provided from the government in regard to what really happened on that history changing night of May 2, 2011. This article outlines the disconnect from the SEAL team 6. The information given in the article apparently seemed far more heroic then what the "real" story is. I think that it must be hard for the members of the SEAL team to not talk about what has happened because I think that they must want praise for the their dirty work and it seemed the only one that got any credit was the President. The movie "Zero Dark Thirty" does outline all the little people that make stuff like this happen, however that is hollywoods interpretation and I don't think that we will ever know the true story of what happened inside the house of the al Qaeda leader the night of May 2, 2011.
