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?
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.
