Did you shoot the deputy?
Rob O'Neill came to OKC for a lecture for the Town Hall members and I was present. His recount of the shooting was exactly as TerryMiller's statement. Rob was the number 2 man going up the stairs. The #1 man spotted women in a doorway and pushed them back inside allowing Rob to be the new #1 man who entered the room and shot Bin Laden. Mr. O'Neill had to stop in his presentation several times to compose himself as he was having difficulties holding himself together. He was reliving the assault and had tears in his eyes. So I have to confirm Terry Miller's statement.Quite some time ago, Rob O'Neill did an interview that I watched where he spoke so much of what all happened. And, I don't know of anyone that has come out and stated that he was wrong. When asked about whether others had shot bin Laden, O'Neill stated that others might have shot him afterwards, and because everything was in a "fog of war" and everyone was gathering up evidence, anything could have happened.
Edit: with regards to that in bold letters, perhaps the author of the book has claimed that O'Neill was wrong, but I've not heard that from any other source.
I believe O'Neills story. But the problem is with the Seal code that suggests that at the end of a mission, its understood that no one Seal attains the glory for the efforts of the team. O'Neal knew this but he said he felt the American public would heal faster if they could put name and face to Bin Ladin's killer. I agree with the code and would have preferred that Seal Team Six as a group would have recieved the honor for dispatching him. But in reality it took the efforts of many people to put the team on location. The group of women working for the CIA who finally found the bastard after all those years should be honored too.Rob O'Neill came to OKC for a lecture for the Town Hall members and I was present.

It takes an army of intelligence gathering and preparation to make an operation come to its conclusion. Every person in that chain deserves credit.I believe O'Neills story.

They're the pointy tip of the spear, but there are a lot of people who make up the system that gets that tip on target.It takes an army of intelligence gathering and preparation to make an operation come to its conclusion. Every person in that chain deserves credit.
