I heard from a mate down the pub today that it was actually the SAS that performed the raid to take down Bin laden, and that they sold credit for the 'hit' to the US for a bunch of cash .
Everything you've heard about the raid is bull. However, even though they weren't in the fight, the US did actually sustain 38 high-ranking casualties immediately afterwards. Most of the injuries were sore palms and severe wrist-sprains after the Americans hi-fived the shxt out of each-other for 3 hours straight. A chiropractor was called for one 5-star General after he did one of those ‘chest-bump’ celebrations and slipped a disc in his lower back. 3 guys lost their voices in the ‘whooping’ that ensued – one ended up with a really sore throat afterwards that nearly turned into an infection.
