1. There never is. Killing as an instrument of state is a reality that cannot be avoided.

I for one am glad that we have people like Seal Team Six that can perform the task professionally and quickly.

YOU WILL ALL NOTE THAT THE MEN WHO TRAINED AND DEPLOYED TO DO THIS HAD THIER VERY SKIN IN THIS GAME.

I find it IMPORTANT that we remember that men in uniform went to kill this fucker. They were all aware they could likely die, yet volunteered over the course of a carreer to put themselves into this position.

Not a drone, not a B-52,

not a tactical nuke.

American men with automatic rifles.

I like it.

2. I'm not talking about Bin Ladin
I'm talking about the unnecessary bloodbaths we launched in his name.

3. That is the province of the monday morning quarterback.
The bullshit that lead us into Iraq and the fuck ups in Afghanistan are a result of the OPPOSITE of what I'm talking about.

Old white men playing with young lives.

4. But we did it to get the scary cave guy, right?
The reason I'm not celebrating is we've been, and are still being, played.
