    This guy probably has so much PTSD and so much yearning for the adrenaline that war provided him.

    The Man who Killed Osama Bin Laden… is Screwed (Esquire)

    “I’m not religious, but I always felt I was put on the earth to do something specific. After that mission, I knew what it was.”

    Of course this guy is a violent drunk and a conservative! This country has treated him like SHIT.

    “No one who fights for this country overseas should ever have to fight for a job,” Barack Obama said last Veterans’ Day (2012)

    After sixteen years in the Navy, his body filled with scar tissue, arthritis . . . he gets from his employer and a grateful nation:

    Nothing. No pension, no healthcare for his wife and kids, no protection for himself or his family.

    He’s taken that as a calling - and become yet another angry conservative grifter. Speaking engagements, media appearances, tweeting hateful bullshit for attention. Since claiming he was The Shooter (of Osama) he’s claimed to have been a key member in other SEAL missions that have been made into movies. Who knows the truth? Nobody is allowed to correct him, and that’s why he can build this brand for himself.

    His shit stirring is always newsworthy and pushed in front of us. Anti-mask shit, transphobic shit. So I’m happy we can see his miserable personal failures, too.
