    Default Why on earth would anyone reveal his identity?

    So, I was reading up on the book that was wrote and fixing to come out by one of the SEAL Team 6 who took out bin Laden, and I am so surprised that anyone would release his true identity to the public. Even in a public interview on "60 Minutes", his physical appearance was changed "unrecognizable". I don't see why anyone would release that, now putting not only him but his families lives in jeopardy. Dumb move IMO.

    I don't really see a strong reason why he shouldn't come out to the public, but I don't see why he felt he need to write a book about it in the first place, either.

    It's funny but yeah he did it for the money and now he's been named in the press and well frankly whilst I might disagree with the naming of the guy because he is putting himself and his relatives at risk from doing so. I am also well aware that he had to have known the risks involved before he came out with the book.

    Because now he can walk into a bar, say that he was the mothersmurfer that killed Bin Laden, and waltz out with a chick hanging off each arm and several more following behind.

    You need to look like a SEAL to pull it off, though. And most people that look like SEALs, are SEALs.

    its fun to know secrets and its also fun to tell people secrets that you know and that's why no one anonymous stays that way for particularly long
