learn the facts!

I am a fanatic about the militaries toughest and most dangerous missions so i went into this movie knowing everything there is to know about Osama bin laden's death i will not say that the directors made a bad movie but the facts were destroyed so much i could not enjoy it.

were to start?

1.) the hawk that went down was in two pieces not one that is why the seal who was in charge of blowing it up didn't get it all.

2.) the seals did NOT i repeat did NOT almost shoot any non combatant not almost not kind of they were not even out of the compound they had pakistani men on the ground with road blocks telling people it was just a drill for the pakistani military school and when the pakistani police got there they told them to ask there superiors knowing it would take to long for them to find out that they were lying and the seals would already be gone.

3.)the seals also did not shoot people over and over and over they would do to shots one in the chest and one in the head maybe another if they missed once but that would be rare.

4.) when the seals got to the final floor there was only 2 people in the room Osama and one or his wives who he used as a human shield one of the seals tackled the wife and the other shot him once in the chest and once in the head and when the wife got up and picked up a gun they did the same to her needless to say they did not shoot him however many times they shot him in the movie just because the seals were and are professional enough to not waste ammo.

5.) and finally they did not take Osama back to a base they immediately went to an aircraft carrier that promptly held a funeral at sea they then went to a base but Mya or whoever she is acting as never saw him with his own eyes and even if he did a chunk of his head was blown off because of the shot to the head.

and i can go on!

the directors did a great job at making the movie interesting but with all of these things wrong that was all i was focusing on all of these being wrong also made me question the rest of the movies credibility if i had absolutely no clue what had happened in real life i believe that i would have loved the movie.

I tried to read your post, because it seemed like it was going to be interesting. But without any capitalization or punctuation, I was unable to even make it through point #2.

"the seals did NOT i repeat did NOT almost shoot any non combatant not almost not kind of they were not even out of the compound"
... what are you trying to say there?

I didn't stop reading just because it was exhausting to read, but because when you write like that, it's going to make people doubt you're an expert in complex military procedures.

Sure you did.

you seen it all first hand?? no? so your theory is as good as the films.

nobody has seen anything, actually. they had camera's in the seal's helmets but the exact moment of the shooting had some interference. then we saw a body dropped on water. yeah.

Perhaps you should learn the facts.

1. The helicopter was in one piece. When they blew it the tail fell over the wall.

3. Yes they did, especially the third floor occupant.

4. The third floor male was shot in the head twice before the point man got into the room. He then tackled the women in case they were wearing vests, this was done to protect the other SEALs. The next two SEALs to enter the room shot the third floor male several times in the chest to make sure he was dead.

5. The body was taken back to the base where the female CIA analyst did see it. It was later taken to the carrier for disposal.

Fanatics are usually morons and your post lives up to that generalization.

You're taking a dump and they call GQ do you pinch it off or finish your business?

[–] WermhatsWormHat 10 years ago

Unless you were on the Seal Team or a high ranking CIA employee, you really don't know any of that. Nobody but them knows what actually happened. This movie seems like as good a version as yours.

Some published information is disputed by the operators et al involved in Neptune's Spear. So there is a lot of erroneous information about it.

By the way, bin Laden's family and al Qaeda confirm that bin Laden was killed in the raid.

Also, Al Qaeda has always claimed responsibility for the 11 Sept 2001 attacks.
