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. Continue..
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.
