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.
