The man who shot Osama Bin Laden is a secret celebrity and was profiled by a journalist, Phil Bronstein, in the March issue of Esquire. This man, the 'shooter', now two years later has no job, no pension, and no recognition for his deed. The shooter was part of Team Six, but since he retired before the twenty year make, he gets no pension. The shooter did not plan on being the one who would kill Osama Bin Laden, he says. When he shot the three bullets to his forehead he said to his fellow Team Six member, "I shot Osama Bin Laden, what do we do now?" The shooter says he still has nightmares from that night. The shooter is no longer married to his wife, but lives in the same house with her and his children in order to save money. He is currently looking for a job in order to support and care for his family.
This article was written by Jamie Gumbrecht on February 11. This article is for people who are interested in Middle Easter terrorists and how the US interacts with them. I feel badly for the shooter and I believe he deserves at least a job and some other benefits.
