    I was unimpressed and glad I didn't pay to see it.

    Fabricated as well. It was actually approved by McRaven because it stuck to the talking points the administration had released. Owen wasn't ever in the stack and did not put a single bullet into Osama.

    well that is unfortunate, but still a good read all the same, and I did like the picture content in the hard cover edition

    Totally agree. It was a great read but when I learned it was far from a "tell all" I was disappointed but not that surprised. The rest of the book was great, pics were real cool to see, and I am constantly amazed at the things those guys do to keep us safe.

    I'm sure that at some point in the next 30 years we'll hear the real bin Laden story but for now it seems to be under wraps because of serious national security concerns about TTPs and how we obtained the intel to get him.

    It's nice when a movie puts in more than 90 minutes to tell a story. I suspect a few little golden statues will be acquired due to this one irrespective of historical accuracy.

    You have a right to your opinion, and I have a right to tell you how stupid it is

    Is it any worse than "Seal Team Six"? That movie was more propaganda than anything else...

    Don't forget, people thought Black Hawk Down was a great movie- I read the book and served with a few guys who were there (not for the whole ordeal, just the 10th MTN parts) and there is a huge difference between what really happened and what the movie portrayed.
