This.

I will add, if he wasn't aware of his medical benefits getting out, he had no one to blame but himself. I had so many people telling me, or trying to tell me, about my benefits that I got sick of hearing about it.

There was a MASSIVE team effort involved in finding Bin Laden. "The Shooter" was just the last link in a very long chain. Props for your distinguished service. Fuck you very much for thinking you're owed more than, say, the victors of the COP Keating defense.

Things like this didn't present a problem for an officer. Officers had a tried and
tested way of solving problems like this. It was called a sergeant.
