<p>No. It could not be. The worst thing he could do was drinking alcohol.</p>

<p>That would have been the best way for him to go out. Being overwhelmed by hordes of women, flinging IUDs. Though it might take an awful lot of them, it would have been priceless. Now that, I’d want to see on video.</p>

“Shortly after eleven o’clock on the night of May 1st, two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters lifted off from Jalalabad Air Field, in eastern Afghanistan, and embarked on a covert mission into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden.

<p>The New Yorker story is riveting, but apparently much of it is a work of fiction. The author never interviewed any Seals who were on the mission. Huffpost broke that story this week.</p>
