She wasn't KIA though.

Both Bin Laden and I think one of his sons(?) were killed.

right, thats what I thought.

@Maw I wonder how many sons that dude had? Is it one of his children a big time Trump supporter?

But yeah, that's ridiculously strict ROE for CQB in extremely hostile territory.

And really risky.

So extremely respectful.

time is very valuable in a gunfight

Time, surprise, and superior technology.

She's a jihadist in name only.

They cut the power IIRC.

by the transitive property trump is an al qeada puppet

So they had NVG + Cut power.

not sure

usually not power on at night anyways

Didn’t Osama want Joe to become President?

That mission almost ended in disaster though.

lol

Yes.

Also Iran says trump will be dead in a few days

Because he thought he was incompetent and would throw America into chaos.

should we be afraid?

@Maw how so?

Also why he said don't assassinate him.

Helicopter blades clipped a phone poll IIRC and had to make an emergency landing half on the fence and into the compound. It was blown up after they extracted.

whole op was a joke.

right. but because it happened right when they got on the X they called the QRF, so by the time they were almost done with sensitivce site exploitation the chinooks were there.

I don't remember what it was, but I assume a UH60.

Or a littlebird.

they were previously secret, heavily modified stealth blackhawks @Maw I may have heard that there was actually a discussion on the ground after the crash and the pilot wanted to try to fly the crashed helo back

Not worth the risk if it's at like a 25+ degree incline.

Way too easy to clip the rear rotor and to a backflip and backflop.

Good popo

I mean, if a 160th pilot tells you hes going to be somewhere or can. do something seemingly impossible with a helo Id trust him 10/10 times

Haha.

I'm surprised if it was stealthy enough that Osama couldn't hear it literally in his compound.

Or the rotors smacking the poll.

oh they def heard it

im pretty sure deaf people could hear a blackhawk outside their house

Yeah but he still apparently seemed surprised.
