'Zero Dark Thirty' hunts for Bin Laden -- and more

I thought in Bissonette's book he mentioned that they shot the bodies again after they fell. I mean, it was a sentence or a part of a sentence and he didn't mention it again.

I was talking about the "Official" report. I totally agree with the extra rounds just to get the point across.

You asked why? I think why not try and keep her alive? Shes more use alive then dead.
 
A small team of guys doing a highly sensitive raid into enemy territory and you think it's a good idea to stop and render first aid, throwing a spanner into the whole operation and making everyone including the air assets vulnerable to potentially save a female that most likely knows nothing?

Each to their own...
 
Why'd he do it then? To make sure his weapon still worked? No, he did it to make sure the mother fucker was dead.

You think I don't know that? Making sure he was dead and "getting the point across" are different things in my book.
 
If she hadn't grabbed the AK then she wouldn't have been shot.

Considering they've chanted about jihad and sacrifice for over a decade, I think you could make the case that anyone in that compound was hostile. Besides, these cowardly shits will use their own children as shields, so a security round or two or 20 is hardly something I could lose sleep over. Clock's ticking, PAF -16's are inbound, already down one helo, a crowd is gathering outside of the compound...you don't go all My Lai on the place, but the adults aren't even on my radar if I'm those guys.
 
Agreed, Free.

I never really realized the meaning of 'unprecedented access' until I saw this. So besides meeting the DEVGRU team that executed the raid, they actually met with "Maya" and was toured around CIA and even got to see The Vault.

How awesome is that?
 
Well, if given the chance to shake the hand of the real "Maya" plus meeting the raiders and the people who did the planning of the whole thing, and to top it off, taking a peek inside the 'The Vault' at the CIA then yeah... :D

I thought the electronic surveillance stuff was awesome. I knew that the description in the news reports about how they managed to track down the courier was pretty much 'toned down'. When I saw how it played out in the movie I thought it wasn't as high-tech as what Clear and Present Danger made it out to be. It was a combination of electronics and intelligent decision-making of the guys on the ground.
 
For godssake people, it's a movie and a book about a real event. Just because that Mark Owen asshole says something or the movie shows something it does not mean it's real! :wall:

Agreed, if movies were real I would have hooked up with a whole bunch of hot chicks when I installed satellite TV for a while. No boring chit chat, just walk in the door, say "I'm here to install your Sky TV" then flop out the pork sword.
