Bin Laden has been dead for almost three years.  There floats around on the internet a picture of his death mask, almost certainly a fake.  I have a copy on my phone, certainly.  I hope it is real.  I hope it is what he looked like at his death because it looked like he was in a lot of pain.

Now comes along another theory as to why we won’t release actual photos.  Those dirty, nasty, criminal, psychopath SEALS fired endless magazines of ammunition into his body.  The turned him into some sort of Swiss cheese burping out 55 grain slugs like some strange exhaust.

Of course they did.  See, it is standard procedure to keep shooting at a supine figure long after the weapon is removed from their hands and it is clear he is no longer sucking in air.  At least for the SEALS, it must be.  These are the best trained, most capable, highest disciplined tool in our kit.  And to a man on this raid, they are all going to pump 30 rounds in to him and then keep their mouths shut.

See, it’s the PTSD.  Once you “catch it” you can’t stop yourself.

Author of the article, Jack Murphy, himself a veteran and according to his bio and Ranger qualified, sniper SF operator, diminishes the tip of our spear, their accomplishments and his own by opining such rubbish.  Stick to your fiction, Jack.
