Special forces=the apricot

Dude stop saying the Seals got it wrong.......we are already short on active posters!

Huh? So you're saying all of them agreed right away on what exactly happened? Have you ever been in an intense situation and remembered every detail? I was talking with my buddy who was in Iraq twice (1st marine battalion to go in) last night and got some insight into an operation like that. To say things can be a bit hazy is an understatement Lugz.

[lugnutz]

I can't argue either way or pretend to know, but every "expert" on the TV the last few days speaking about what it takes to be a Seal leads me to believe nothing that happened to them phases them a bit. That their training, as a single collective unit, would remove all doubt that they report any differences about the actions that took place.

Unless you call a bar fight an intense situation...then YES!

It was mostly a funny about you getting assassinated though

All I'm saying is that people's stories can get mixed up in such an intense situation like that...which can then be relayed to others (intel/POTUS), which can then be leaked to the Press and be an entirely different (stretched truth) story that we all hear.

[lugnutz]

Your argument is severely flawed. The chain of command doesn't work that way. Either way its a dumb thing to go back and forth on.

Can the joint chiefs of staff of the barstool messageboard just stop with this stupid argument?

Osama bin Laden is dead, guys... Killed by our most badass warriors. Checkmate.

I'm trying to think of one good piece of news on a national level that I've heard in a decade. One that pleases everyone of every political inclination in every area of the country. I can't do it. This event transcends politics. Those attempting to politicize the issue are only doing themselves a disservice come election time. It's just plain stupid for a politician to take the one thing in ten years that actually made Americans happy and try to marginalize it.

Sure I want to see photos, but merely for my own amusement. Do I want shitty tee-shirt companies capitalizing on the release of such photos? Nope. Either way I'm fine with the decision. Release them, don't release them... I'm alright with it. I got to see Saddam hang despite the fact that no cameras were allowed, so history suggests that no matter what, these photos will fall into the hands of someone who will release them eventually.

To paraphrase MCA, human shield, no human shield, gun, no gun; who fucking cares? The guy is dead. And now, whenever I'm feeling lowdown and mean, I can always think of that cocksucker's final pants-shitting moments of life, when SEALS kicked in his door, watched him take his last breath on this God-forsaken planet, and put a bullet through his miserable face. That, my friends, for the rest of my days, will bring me joy.

Well put Giggles

[Ted Striker]

One of those stiffs in the photos has a bullet through his chin. Nice shooting.

Secret stealth helicopters.....sweet. The chinamen will be offering many goats for that piece of equipment.

We'll give it to them for free if they discharge the $1,000,000,000,000 in debt we owe them.

[UconnBuckeye]

Worked at Sikorsky where Blackhawks are made. Very impressive piece of machinery always liked watching the testing when I could.

[MCA]

Wait they used a legit stealth helicopter?

[Sim]

Reuters asserted that the photos show something on the tail off the copter that was blown up that may have looked like new technology. It's all fucking conjecture.

Isn't the reason they blew it up = this exact reason? Hard time believing those guys would fuck it up.

The worst schtick is "Not that I get enjoyment out of someones death but he was a terrible man" STFU everyone is glad hes dead
