• TIL Osama Bin Laden is a navy SEAL

    Osama bin Laden:NAVY SEAL

    This sounds like an alternate timeline action film.

    Osama Bin Laden (Navy SEAL) you mean.

    I guess it was an inside job after all

    Should’ve played in a lobby with friendly fire off

  • Tbf Dahmer only killed 17 people, which I feel like isn’t a super high bar for someone with a career where you kill people

    Yeah if he was going to brag, he should have said PeeWee Gaskins or Richard Kuklinski

    Kulinski claimed to have killed some 200 men but authorities think it's closer to 15.

    Even less than that, and peewee notoriously made fake confessions so he would get special meals and stuff and never knew the details of the crimes

    Samuel little though? 91 confirmed murders.

    Nooo. They were both liars and never confirmed more than a handful of kills each.

    Samuel little has 91 confirmed victims.

    For a second there until I read the last name, I thought you were talking about another PeeWee and thought.. wait wait.. how does jacking it in a theatre kill people?

    No theoreticals Reddit. I clarify that was not a challenge :)

    I thought it was a weak brag also, but if you read the article you’ll see it was in context

  • Surprisingly, he probably lied about being the guy that killed Osama Bin Laden.

    100% accurate.. special operations troops don’t talk about their missions outside of the unit, and they especially don’t write a book about it, do press junkets for it, and blab on social media every day about how many people they’ve killed.

    The reality is, you’ll never know who actually did it because the community wants it that way. They are just fine letting this dork parade around in the media like he’s a killer because it keeps the attention off them.

    Source: grandfather was a spook, I deployed with an ODA, and my BIL currently serves in 5th group

    Tim Kennedy does. He just lies about his experiences.

    A lot. A fucking whole lot.

    See the thing about dudes like that is, you can’t trust a word they say about anything. If you’ll lie about a valor device, which is a very easy award to track down whether or not you got it, you’ll lie about literally anything. It’s one thing to exaggerate about a mission, it’s a whole different ballgame to lie about a V device.

    Kennedys entire career makes no sense. I’ve never met an operator that did 5 years just to quit active duty unless they were forced out for being a shit sandwich. Even if you don’t want to be in a line unit any more you can still be a trainer and support within the group while still living the group lifestyle.

    They absolutely do. Do you know how many spec ops guys have written books? How many appear on podcasts? This dude isn't the only one who does this. You're naive if you think otherwise.

    People wrote books and spoke on podcasts, so there’s no way they’re full of shit. Who would lie about stuff like that? Oh wait.

    As I said before.. Useful distractions to keep the attention. You’ll never know who the real people were until they’re dead, and even then it’s not guaranteed.

    You said they don't talk and that's just false. I didn't say Rob or anyone else is being 100% truthful. I don't care about who the real people are lol.

    Unfortunately in 2025 you’re wrong. That’s out the window. Lots of them love podcasts and blabbing these days.

    Ive checked out a couple of these guys and each one is full of shit in their own way to the point I don’t even bother any more. They sound just like the cooks and clerks at the VFW and VA that talk about all the high speed low drag shit they did in combat, just to find out they never left the FOB while down range.

    Or they lie about their awards like Ted Kennedy making every statement they’ve ever made dubious at best. Or they say they had a job in a specific branch of the military that isn’t actually a job and wasn’t when they claimed to serve. Stolen valor is out of control these days.

    You got people that have been collecting VA disability that have never even served in the military, and you better believe they’re sharing their horseshit stories too. You’ve got actual politicians themselves inflating their records or claiming they’ve done things that they haven’t. These politicians KNOW these stories are going to be checked out and they still lie through their teeth about it.

    I stopped checking out most of it because it’s no different than watching a military movie. All of the details are wrong and the overall mission has been changed to make it more appealing to the public or for entertainment. Hell, even DoD authorized releases are watered down versions that don’t make sense and miss all sorts of important information, making it sound like a sanitized narrative instead of what actually happened.

    At a certain point I just got tired of being lied to by everyone. The government, its minions, social media, people looking for attention, etc. so I just don’t have the patience to listen to morons yucking it up on podcasts and YouTube videos any more. They’ve flooded the zone with so much BS it’s almost impossible to fight back. I’m sure you’ve noticed this in other areas of life. The military is no exception. If anything, since American citizens know so little about their Armed services, people can get away with all kinds of outlandish claims because people like me just don’t have the energy any more to fight every line of bullshit.

    I mean, there's plenty of SEALs that talk about the shit they did. Recently it seems like if you didn't write a book/start a podcast/start a coffee company you didn't actually retire yet lol.

    How you gonna say something like that and back it up with that?

  • Holy shit that website is basically unusable even with ublock origin and a pi-hole.

    Sorry friend, I have exactly both of those. I forget they aren’t common.

    I have both as well but it appears not enough blacklist to make that site usable lol.

  • The fact that some people worship this category of soldier, which is essentially just a state facilitated psychopath, is insane.

    I did as a child. I wanted to be one. I had a lot of issues.

    I don’t think it’s ridiculous, war is unfortunately inevitable, but some people are really good at the whole killing people thing, it’s a job made for them

    Nah he was right, it is ridiculous

  • He’s also a member of Hezbollah, Antifa, and an ex-gang member. 😂

  • Career military dude is a psycho… color me shocked!

  • Did he molest more corpses too?

  • What a terrible title.

  • He mentioned the Obama drone strikes and said nobody makes a big deal about that... Dude, I've been hearing about that shit since the day it happened and anti-Obama friends of mine still bring it up all the time. That Seal is living under a rock or just full of crap.

  • Empowering psychopaths

  • O’Neill broke the “code” when he went public to claim some credit for killing bin Laden. Did not sit well with the special ops community.

  • What a awful title

  • I mean why not claim credit?

    If you didn’t do it, the guy who actually did can’t be like “nahuh that was me—shit!dammit!”

    He claimed credit for being antifa on Fox News. This dude loves credit. Capt Capital O’ne over there can’t get enough of it.

  • Osama Bin Laden was not part of the Navy.

    He was part of the Air Force

    🥁

  • 'merica

    Fuck yeah?

    In the sarcastic sence.

  • Guy is a hero. Sorry not sorry

    That chucklefuck is the exact opposite of what the SEALs stand for. The very fact that he’s so adamant and loudly announcing that HE is the one who took the shot should clue you in.

    Also as far as I’ve heard, there’s zero confirmation he was in fact the one who shot OBL. He just took credit.

    i think everyone at neptune spear killed bin laden. yknow, if canoeing his skull far after he's already dead counts as killing.

    Didn’t they all shoot him?? I don’t think anyone said, “HANDS UP! US NAVY YOU’RE UNDER ARREST!” & actually waited for him to respond lol

    Does he think we believe they drew straws on who got to shoot first? wtf

    “Didn’t they all shoot him” it’s not like they were in some massive room and all just unloaded on him. They were raiding what is essentially a house. Hallways. Bedrooms. The compound was occupied by quite a few people. 

    There were two seals who went up stairs in the compound and encountered bin Laden while other seals cleared other areas. O’Neill claims he was the one who shot bin Laden. This is disputed by other seals who were on the raid. 

    It also goes against the seals ethos to take personal credit for the work they do. O’Neill is a persona non grata with the seals because of his actions after the raid. 

    Have any of the other guys there said anything about him claiming credit & talking about it all the time? Or has everyone just ignored him lol

    Yeah, there’s videos out there of operators who have spoken about ONeill. Matt Bissonnette’s account of the operation differs considerably from ONeills:

     Bissonnette gives a conflicting account of the situation, writing that bin Laden had already been mortally wounded by the lead SEAL's shots from the staircase. The lead SEAL then pushed bin Laden's wives aside, attempting to shield the SEALs behind him in case either woman had an explosive device. After bin Laden staggered back or fell into the bedroom, Bissonnette and O'Neill entered the room, saw the wounded bin Laden on the ground, fired multiple rounds, and killed him. Journalist Peter Bergen investigated the conflicting claims and found that most of the SEALs present during the raid favored Bissonnette's account of the events. According to Bergen's sources, O'Neill did not mention firing the shots that killed bin Laden in the after-action report made following the operation

    My initial post may have been slightly incorrect. There may have been 3 seals going up to the third floor, not 2. The lead seal followed by ONeill and Bissonnette. 

    There’s also speculation that a seal only referred to as RED is the one that shot UBL. I’m not sure if RED was the lead seal referred to in the above paragraph, but I would suspect so if the account in that paragraph is accurate. 

    REDs identity isn’t known. And that’s supposed to be how seals handle this. They’re not supposed to seek personal glory for the operations they undertake, and it’s supposed to be about the team and their duty to the country. This is a paragraph from the seal ethos:

     My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.

    There’s a reason most the guys involved in Operation Neptune Spear identities are unknown.

    O’Neill is persona non grata in that community for a reason. He’s a glory seeking liar who only cares about himself and his brand. 

    They didn’t draw straws but obviously someone was the first to see him and shoot it’s not like they all waited until they could take the shot together

    To little children
