Wow! Investigating journalism at its best. I also like the follow on story of the twin brother. Despite all these warts the SEALs are the best soldiers I've ever met. That coming from Army guy.
Excellent article! This myth making is pathetic; I have followed them ever since Pat Tillman was purposely killed by friendly fire and the government’s attempt to hijack the narrative. Thank goodness for Tillman’s diary surfacing. The myth of Osama bin Laden being killed is also a tragedy!
I admit that I’ve followed these events only peripherally, but I’ve consistently wondered: why was it decided to send SEALS into the mountains of Afghanistan rather than a team of professionals trained for that sort of land warfare, namely the Army Rangers?
(I say this, by the way, as a former Navy veteran.)

Bullshit is always the fastest horse in any race. Not a comforting story.
Spot on. Great piece on myth making
