00:00:00.000 what tours have you guys been on they can share with like you said earlier Baghdad but what what
00:00:03.840 other tours have you been on what places have you guys served all over Iraq Afghanistan Somalia
00:00:09.680 Middle East yeah East Africa yeah yeah okay so I got a list of topics one of the ones that really
00:00:16.620 you know up till today I have a hard time with this the following I want to see what you guys
00:00:20.000 going to be saying about this so do you remember where you were when we heard that Osama bin Laden
00:00:24.760 was caught you know he was killed I think it was if I'm not mistaken Robert O'Neill is is the story
00:00:31.700 that we always hear about we've all seen the podcast we've seen the stories May 2nd 2011
00:00:36.480 and then we hear the story that the body's being dumped in the middle of the ocean do you guys
00:00:41.440 remember where you were at when that story was released yep yes okay so what do you think about
00:00:47.740 when we are told that Osama bin Laden's body is dumped in the middle of the ocean at northern
00:00:54.580 Arabian sea did you guys at all sit there and say uh it's kind of weird did you just say no this is
00:01:01.220 okay makes sense
00:01:02.360 at first glance you would think it is weird and then you think about the reality are we going to
00:01:11.980 bring his body back to the U.S. and do a John Dillinger where you post up photos of him they're
00:01:16.200 not going to do that and if you do that you end up making him a martyr even more and growing his
00:01:19.880 following even more like look what he sacrificed for the cause don't do that like do you want a
00:01:24.900 tombstone in the U.S. do you want some some new mecca where all the other crazies kind of go to pay
00:01:31.200 homage to him I don't I don't think that benefits anybody so I think putting him in the ocean is exactly
00:01:36.560 what they should have done from my understanding too um based off of the religion um they have to
00:01:43.240 be buried within 24 hours so that was kind of from my understanding a respectful way to you know kind
00:01:51.280 of honor his religion not saying they're honoring him but just honoring and respecting the religion
00:01:56.080 but yeah not not having a grave but since he was he was moved out to that ship burial at sea
00:02:02.320 so you know when I when I heard that I'm like it's a little weird I'm questioning it so I said guys
00:02:08.620 why don't we do this how many times can you pull up chat gbt right how many times in the history of
00:02:14.460 u.s have we dumped a body of the enemy in the middle of the ocean okay how many times in the history of
00:02:20.760 u.s have we dumped a body an enemy's body in the middle of the ocean in the ocean okay so it's got to
00:02:30.940 be 50 times 25 times maybe 18 times maybe twice no only once and it's only osama bin laden and we've
00:02:42.380 had a lot of other bodies now then I sat there and I said okay let's have some fun with this one here
00:02:47.640 okay in our family we love the movie transformers it's a great movie okay and can you type in the
00:02:56.560 transformers where megatron gets dumped in the middle of the ocean okay which which uh it's in
00:03:02.760 2007 okay where in 2007 film transformers megatron's body along with the remains of other decepticons
00:03:11.500 was dumped into the laurentian abyss a deep sea trench in an attempt to keep them dormant and prevent them
00:03:18.080 from being revived that's 2007 right and then four years later in may of 2011 we're dumping osama bin laden's
00:03:25.980 body in the middle of the ocean something we've never done before makes the average guy who kind
00:03:31.840 of wants to question some of the stuff and say yeah yeah it's a little strange because they could
00:03:38.540 have buried the body in different places but to do something like this and we've killed a lot of
00:03:42.500 different people in the history of america but we've never done this before is there something that
00:03:47.520 happened with the body is there something that we don't know the timing of it's a little bit weird
00:03:51.440 i mean if they were inspired by it at least what i could say is whoever came up with the idea to put
00:03:57.200 the story out there i give them credit because they have good taste in movies at least they like
00:04:01.400 transformers you got to respect that part of it right but uh for me i'm still skeptical about this
00:04:08.160 right when you know you guys were in the you're in this world you guys talk to each other uh and and
00:04:13.360 based on what you're saying you're saying it was a faith-based thing that they dumped it because
00:04:16.760 that respect that at 24 hours and you're saying it was a way for them to not give any more martyr
00:04:22.040 bringing them back here but what do you think about this comparison the four years apart i'm sure you
00:04:26.640 seen transformers 1 when megatron's being dumped and we all watch transformers 1 of course for the
00:04:32.000 movie definitely not for making fox but it was a very good movie but what do you think about this
00:04:36.320 coincidence coincidence nothing tying it nothing nothing zero zero so you think his body's gone he's dead
00:04:46.220 he's good do you guys have a relationship with albert o'neal like are you guys friends are you guys
00:04:50.440 pals he was my team leader he was your team leader okay were you guys involved in this or no you were
00:04:56.540 not on that mission at all i was not okay i was you were you were there what was that like i'll say my
00:05:04.580 role i i really didn't do much um i was there there was four of you no i won't get into the specifics
00:05:14.380 um but i wasn't in the assault team but i was part of the team so did you see a dead body oh so you
00:05:22.220 did see a dead body was it in pieces no okay but it's dead do you want to say anything else no
00:05:31.780 the way you're talking it's like so yeah but so no i've never said that on camera really yeah
00:05:39.940 okay yeah because uh
00:05:43.620 what what's the i mean robert's been very open about the whole story
00:05:49.820 when you know he goes through the whole thing and what happened what is the process when that happens
00:05:54.340 what is the process is it you take the body you ship it back you take it with you what what is
00:06:02.040 the process at that time if it's not like an explosion a bomb explosion where the body's all
00:06:06.560 over the place you're not going to go pick up body parts when it's something that you see a shot
00:06:10.380 boom done what's the proper procedure there leave them yeah leave them i mean they wanted to bring
00:06:18.040 them back for dna test and confirmation i mean we said take dna swabs back in the day depending on
00:06:23.980 who it was depending what they look like but i've never personally taken anybody off i've never seen
00:06:28.180 it rob how far is it from the place he was killed to where he was dumped in the middle of the ocean can
00:06:33.260 you find out like how far is that distance
00:06:37.560 i wonder how many u.s navy sailors we've buried at sea
00:06:45.460 two thousand five hundred and ninety six kilometers
00:06:51.440 that is a good question
00:06:54.500 can you check that rob so how many navy seals have we dumped how many sailors how many sailors
00:07:02.400 have been killed overseas we buried them at sea because you can't get them back
00:07:06.200 can't fly them off before there were helicopters before you could do all that yeah but that was
00:07:10.280 on land and then they dumped them in the middle of the ocean that doesn't make you
00:07:13.880 not about well look i mean if there's some if you're there and you saw him dead you know
00:07:19.840 yeah so no matter what we're saying you know
00:07:21.920 oh i mean if there's a question whether or not we actually killed him
00:07:26.780 there shouldn't be a question about that
00:07:28.340 okay yeah there shouldn't be a question but if there's a question about whether we still have the
00:07:33.800 body or we dump them that could be a question because you weren't there for that
00:07:36.940 no i wasn't there yeah i mean i hope he's not in area 51 with all the aliens hanging out with biggie
00:07:44.180 and tupac yeah just hanging out he's in vegas somewhere that's a whole different conversation
