You're dense as usual. Look it up instead of fvcking guessing all the time. Hmm AKs...used by the bad guys...well they were shooting at the goat. Al-Kuwaiti emptied nearly an entire magazine....well that is if you go by the SEAL accounts.
Of course the AKMs were if fired were by the residents in the compound. This was a KILL mission NOT a Capture/Kill mission as "planned" in the briefing room and reported to the World's media and unless they got in the way (just as one of Bin Laden's wives tried to act as a human shield) there was to be no shooting at women and children.
That's bad for PR and American international relations especially the fragile US-Pakistani cooperation! You don't want a headline in the international media stating the the SEALs mowed down every tenant in the compound including unarmed women and children. That is NOT to say that once a woman picks up a gun and therefore becomes an enemy combatant and that the SEALs were within their ROE to light her up. As you already know SEALs are highly trained in being clinical with whom they fire their weapon at and how many rounds etc and engage e.g. not firing indiscriminatory and preservation of life when it's called for!
It was the gunfire and explosions that got them up and outside. It was documented on twitter realtime by one famous witness. And he summarized it live.
That famous witness wrote that it was the helos woke them up:
“Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event),” and “Go away helicopter – before I take out my giant swatter.”
“The gunfight lasted perhaps 4-5 minutes,” he said in a more recent response to one Twitter user, and that he was “2-3 km away from that area. Planning to stay alive, if they let me live, lol.” Then: “I guess Abbottabad is going to get as crowded as the Lahore that I left behind for some peace and quiet. *sigh*”So like I said the residents were awoken and out in the streets when they heard the Blackhawks come in low and fast from a few kilometres out and started hovering when it started inserting SEALs. They were awake way before Al-Kuwaiti started to fire nearly an entire magazine of his AKM and way before the SEALs started letting off breaching charges or even firing any of their suppressed firearms. Regardless of whether the highly modified UH-60 with their noise reducing countermeasures it was still enough noise to get the neighbourhood awake and out of their houses.
Man Inadvertently Live Tweets Osama Bin Laden Raidhttp://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2011/05/02/man-inadvertently-live-tweets-osama-bin-laden-raid/Its not about what fvcking woke them up you thick headed dip! Read and repeat. Christ! Why are you following me piggy backing? Just coincidence?
Following you? Give me a break, there are numerous Movie Military Boards on IMDB now which we both frequent. If you look at the time stamp I posted 6 minutes after a reply the the OP's question and was typing up my message just after you clicked on post reply but please give me more examples of where I'm "pigging backing" you?
You are guilty of piggy backing as you call it too, in numerous threads where I have given a CORRECT answer to a military question then you come in after and add another 2 cents to try to give more information.
For full effect you add in every military Acronym there is even which useless for the majority of civilians on the Boards and even I have had to Google the meaning of some. Maybe if you're on a Military message board that's cool but there aren't that many people on here that understand all these Acronyms.
If you are not willing to give up everything, you have already lost
