No Easy Day: The Only First-hand Account of the Navy Seal Mission that Killed Osama bin Laden: The Firsthand Accoung of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden
Leaving aside the issue of whether or not it actually happened, how can you have a 336 page book which is a first-hand account of one person being shot? There must be quite a lot of filler in there.

The BBC are reporting on it here:

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19409426

This is how it should have read.

Chapter One

We found the house with Osama bin Laden in. I was with loads of Navy Seals. We all had shitloads of weapons. One of us shot him with a massive gun. We fucking shoot people every day. Sometimes some of us get shot. The people we shoot get called terrorists. We get called heroes whatever we do.

The End

Really, really big text size?

I'm sure Barry has the finest screen play writers at his disposal and no doubt it'll be a movie in a few months. ;)

Maybe they padded it out with some recipes.

:lol:

I haven't read it yet. I think I would prefer your version.

I wonder if Keeney and Butler want their military book title back?

You're right, I hadn't noticed that. Two subtitles just in case you didn't understand the first one. Nice snappy twenty-nine word title, just what you need really.

As you pointed out, just what you need to pretty much cover the whole story, a lengthy title.

I thought this was going to be a complaint about one of Dubmeup`s topics although I might prefer to read that.

I reckon this book will be like one of those real dull movies and people will pass around what page the action starts on. Yeah the actual mission is on page 229.

I also think some of those pages will be talking about 9/11 and what the fellas were doing on 9/11. They probably won`t go into detail about Bin Laden`s location on that day though.
come at the king....you best not miss
