Action List: 3 May 2011

After reading "Behind the Hunt for Bin Laden" I was surprised at how flawless the operation had been to get him. After 10 years of avoiding the United States, Bin Laden went down without much of a fight. I think it's mostly due to the extreme professionalism and skill of those 79 American commandos that we were so successful. It was really cool to see the pictures of Americans gathering around the White House and the site of the 9/11 attacks to celebrate the downfall of such an evil man who was the number 1 enemy of the United States. I wasn't sure if we would ever catch Osama and i find myself feeling emotions of happiness and relief that he is now dead.
