It's not that hard. You just look him up in the phone book, knock on his door and shoot him. If he still wanted to be hiding under under a log he wouldn't have left the army.

You're talking a guy that supposedly spent sixteen years of life as a member of one of the most elite special operations unit in the world, and the last decade of that the guy was operationally deployed so often that there's a fair chance he's probably killed more men than prostate cancer. He's also a US citizen which means he not only has access to firearms, he probably has a permit to carry a concealed weapon depending on what state he lives in. And this is before we get into how difficult it is to find a specific person that doesn't want to be found in a country with over 300, 000, 000 citizens.

Also, he left the US Navy, not the US Army.

Finding him may be difficult - that was the whole point of not putting his name or photo in the article. Once that is taken care of, it is a simple matter to kill him. No amount of training can help you if someone walks up behind you in the street and shoots you in the back. And I can't see this guy spending all day hiding in the closet in case al quaida is after him. What usually stops people is the difficulty in getting away with it. That obviously isn't a problem for the Islamists.

And that totally explains why every high ranking official, civilian and military hides their identity so the "islamists" won't find them...

Oh, wait, none of them do because there's never, not even once, been a case of islamists or anyone else assassinating active duty or retired personnel in the US. You are wrong and need to stop watching so many bad 1980s action flicks.

Maybe you should have got a service related injury / White Card and you you would be sitting back earning $12 / fortnight like me. Wink

No one enlists for the money and handouts, for that you should have become a politician.

none of those high ranking officials or military personnel personally shot Bin Laden ... I know if it was me I wouldn't risk it ...sure chances are they won't do anything, but it would be silly of anyone to risk his family based on a guess. The truth is there are a lot of nut jobs that saw Bin Laden as a hero, both in and out of the Middle East ... and he would be stupid and irresponsible to take a chance not just with his life but his family... the fact that he survived 16 yrs as a seal in active deployment is probably a good sign that he isn't stupid ... the stupid ones don't last

Only you could be totally confused by the fact that you don't get a 20 yr sevice pension at 16 years. Grin

It was only in the last few years that Aussie service personnel stopped getting thier 20 year service pensions. Livin the dream on 5/8 of bugger all for the rest of your life, which for the average serviceman was less than the dole or the proper pension.

Yeah thats right - pretend to be confused and think im talking about a 20 year pension @ 16. Why do you have to try and twist things? Do you have nothing to add perhaps? Why not a 16 year pension? I happen to know that you get a pension @ 6 years except you have to wait until you are pension age to claim it. Argh i gotta go

Oh really? Fort Hood is not in the US? Malik Hassan didn't kill 13 US soldiers and army personnel, also wounding 29? He wasn't shouting Allahu Akhbar while killing and wounding them?
