UK Daily Mail has revealed the identity of
the Navy Seal who shot terror chief Osama
bin Laden dead in the special force's most
famous operation at Abbottobad, in Pakistan,
on 2 May 2011. His name is Rob O'Neill, 38,
(pictured above), a highly-decorated veteran
who quit after 16 yrs service.
O'Neil waived his anonymity recently and
agreed to sit down with Fox News later this
month to talk about his life and that
operation that finally brought some peace to
America and its allies.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline
Rob's father, Tom O'Neill, said he's not
afraid that his son has gone public "People
are asking if we are worried that ISIS will
come and get us because Rob is going
public. I say I'll paint a big target on my
front door and say come and get us.'
The former member of SEAL Team Six from
Butte, Montana, has been portrayed on
screen in Zero Dark Thirty, Captain Phillips
and Lone Survivor.
The US military are not in agreement of his
coming out now to talk about the operation
and he now faces being frozen out of its
circles for these closely-held secrets.
He is now a regular motivational speaker.
He talks about applying the lessons of his
time in the SEALs to business decision
making.
O'Neill is the second SEAL of the 23 involved
in the raid to make his identity public. He
said his decision to speak out was prompted
by losing some of his military benefits by
quitting the SEALs after 16 years rather than
staying for a full 20 years of service.
