Rico says his friend Dave Kitterman sends along this one:
This is what the Navy SEAL team looked like when they went in to get Osama bin Laden.
A couple of things to notice:
.50 caliber sniper on the right
Knee, knuckle, and forearm protection
Various plastic/wire ties
Absolute identity denial to protect their families
Free choice of footwear
Fourth from the right has three artillery simulators and CS gas
grenades on his belly; he’s the shock and awe guy
Can you imagine the look on bin Laden's face when these guys came through the door?
The post title is from the song by the same name:

This image was posted hither and yon in mid-2011, accompanied by the claim that it depicts Navy SEAL Team 6, the outfit that raided Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan and killed the elusive al-Qaeda leader on May 2, 2011.
But that's not Navy SEAL Team 6 you see depicted above, nor, in fact, are you looking at real Navy SEALs at all. They're 12-inch-tall (1:6) action figures customized and photographed in 2009 by a Malaysian blogger and action figure enthusiast who calls himself "Nerdpride AKA Crazychildren." He has acknowledged creating the tableau.
A larger version of the image reveals suspect details such as ill-tailored uniforms composed of some unnatural-looking fabric and what is clearly a plastic forearm sported by the figure furthest to the right.
