U.S. Troops Unloaded Hundreds Of Bullets Into Bin Laden’s Dead Body

U.S. Troops Unloaded Hundreds Of Bullets Into Bin Laden's Dead Body

According to a new SOFREP report, U.S. Troops ‘took turns dumping magazines-worth of ammunition’ into Bin Laden’s dead body.

This could be the real reason why Obama hasn’t released pictures of Bin Laden’s dead body.

A bullet for each 9/11 victim seems about right!

From SOFREP:

There are a lot of puzzled expressions on people’s faces when it comes to the subject of the late Osama Bin Laden and why the White House has not authorized the release of any pictures of the body.

Photographs and video were released of Saddam Hussein’s hanging, as well as post-mortem pictures of his criminal sons, Uday and Qusay, after Delta Force took them out. Why not release a few pictures of Public Enemy #1 to prove that he is dead and show the world what happens when you take on the US of A?

Matt Bissonnette, one of the SEAL Team Six operators on the raid, partially outs the reason in his book, No Easy Day. The book reads, “In his death throes, he was still twitching and convulsing. Another assaulter and I trained our lasers on his chest and fired several rounds. The bullets tore into him, slamming his body into the floor until he was motionless” (No Easy Day, Chapter 15).

But this is perhaps the most measured and polite description that one could give of how operator after operator took turns dumping magazines-worth of ammunition into Bin Laden’s body, two confidential sources within the community have told us. When all was said and done, UBL had over a hundred bullets in him, by the most conservative estimate.

But was it illegal? Under the Laws of Land Warfare, a soldier is fully authorized to put a few insurance rounds into his target after he goes down. Provided the enemy is not surrendering, it is morally, legally, and ethically appropriate to shoot the body a few times to ensure that he is really dead and no longer a threat. However, what happened on the Bin Laden raid is beyond excessive.

Wild Bill Guarnere Dies At 90

American hero William Guarnere, who lost a leg trying to help a wounded soldier during the Battle of the Bulge, died at Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia this past Saturday from a ruptured aneurysm. He fought in some of the fiercest battles in World War II as part of Easy Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. His exploits were also featured prominently in the HBO series “Band of Brothers”.

R.I.P. Wild Bill.

William “Wild Bill” Guarnere, a World War II veteran whose character was portrayed in the HBO series “Band of Brothers,” died Saturday night at 90 years old.

Guarnere was part of Easy Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division — a group of troops renown for their steely resolve during combat. He took part in the Battle of the Bulge and saw combat from 1941 up until the end of the war in 1945. “Wild Bill’s” exploits were later immortalized in the television series “Band of Brothers” and after suffering a ruptured aneurysm, he passed away at the Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, Daily Mail reports.

Guarnere lost a leg while rushing to the aid of a wounded soldier during the Battle of the Bulge, earning him his illustrious nickname “Wild Bill.” During his service, Guarnere was awarded the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts.

In 2001, HBO began the critically acclaimed mini-series “Band of Brothers,” chronicling Guarnere’s and the rest of Easy Company’s journey through Europe. Actor Frank John Hughes played Guarnere.

With the passing of “Wild Bill,” it is believed there are only three surviving members of the original band of brothers.

Guarnere’s son, William Guarnere Jr., said his father “had a good, long life.”

Real Heroes: I Fought For You

This gripping patriotic short film is a moving tribute to our military past and present. It’s a very good example of our service members’ sense of honor and duty.

They are the real heroes!

“The American heroes are wearing camo. That’s not me.” ~ T.J. Oshie

To know the real value of Freedom, one must know the truth of the following statement “Some gave all while all gave some.” Christ gave his all to give you freedom and salvation. Likewise some men and women had to give all of themselves so that you and I can have the freedom we enjoy today. Reflect and be grateful. Look at the cross to what freedom costs. If you want people to get the chills, and instill a sense of pride in our country and military, this is the one! This gripping, patriotic film short is great to honor vets, remember the fallen and teach kids the price of their freedom.

Nicholas Purpura – Patriot Of The Day

Nicholas Purpura is what a real American looks like. His impassioned speech, to local gun grabbing Liberals, only took a couple of minutes but it is straight and to the point.

Nicholas is a retired Army veteran but he is still fighting for our freedoms and rights as Americans. Thank you sir!

We have heard a lot of speeches defending the 2nd amendment, but none come close to what this Army Veteran and Chaplain has to say.

Wallpaper Of The Day: USS Midway

USS Midway

The USS Midway was America’s longest-serving aircraft carrier of the 20th century, from 1945 to 1992. Approximately 200,000 sailors served aboard the carrier, known for several naval aviation breakthroughs as well as several humanitarian missions. It was the only carrier to serve the entire length of the Cold War and beyond. It is now berthed in San Diego, the birthplace of naval aviation and the original home of the TOPGUN fighter school.

Midway opened as a museum on 7 June 2004. By 2012 annual visitation exceeded 1 million visitors. It became the most visited floating naval ship museum in the world. The museum also hosts more than 700 events a year, including more than 400 active-duty Navy retirements, re-enlistments and changes of command. The museum also hosts approximately 50,000 students on field trips and 5,000 children in its overnight program annually.

Admission includes a self-guided audio tour, narrated by former Midway sailors to more than 60 locations, including sleeping quarters, engine room, galley, bridge, brig, post office, foc’s’le, pilots’ ready rooms, officers quarters, primary flight control, and “officers country.” Other features include climb-aboard aircraft and cockpits, videos, flight simulators, and a narrated audio tour for youngsters.

The museum is berthed at Navy Pier which has more than 300 parking spaces. It also is within walking distance of public transportation and other downtown San Diego waterfront attractions.

In addition to private events, the museum has become a popular media venue. In 2012 it hosted a nationally broadcast NCAA basketball game between San Diego State University and Syracuse University. American Idol has filmed an episode on Midway, as has the Travel Network, Discovery Channel, FOX News, “The Bachelor,” “Extreme Makeover,” History Channel, and Military Channel.
