Questions Abound

So was your husband part of the team that killed Osama?
No idea

Does he know the guy that shot Bin Laden? Do other SEALs look at the shooter as a hero?
No idea, and I don't think so. Whoever shot him was just doing his job.

What was the REAL reason as to why the helicopter went down?
I only know as much as what's on the news.

Is your husband jealous that he didn't get to be that one that shot him?
Trick question =D

I'm sure that all of these questions and increased interest will soon fade, but I do like reading most of the articles that talk about the teams and the appreciation shown throughout the country. Although my husband hasn't paid much attention to it all, I know that deep down he sincerely appreciates the recognition. The other good thing about all of this exposure is that this will undoubtedly increase interest in joining the teams. There might be a very few of them now, but I am sure that there are plenty of men out there that are capable of becoming Navy SEALs.

Someone did ask me if I was a bit scared of retribution. The truth is that most Navy SEALs are very private and do not like talking about their job outside the base; the ones that do flaunt are usually fakes, so if anything, it is the fakes that should be watching their backs.
