If bin Laden's house is authentic. . .

The SEAL team sent two helicopters to fly over in the dead of night. One of them fell directly into the courtyard of the house. It blew up several doors and then dented the formation and went upstairs in a very low-key manner, except for women. After the child cried for a few times, there was basically no movement, and then Teacher Bin Laden was beaten to death in the dark.

I always feel that something is wrong.

Both the commando's behavior and Bin Laden's reaction were seriously irrational.

First of all, didn't Teacher Bin Laden arrange to stand guard at night? There is an uncle on the night shift at the gate of my community. When the CIA introduced the house in the film, it said that it had various careful precautions, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was a fortress. Is the fort like this? This is exactly an ordinary house where once someone finds it, the people inside are a dead end.

Second, the commando made such a big movement outside. Are the people in the room still sleeping? Why is there almost no resistance? The computer and materials are all kept well (please compare the reaction of the U.S. Embassy at the beginning of argo to similar situations), and there is a lens that was robbed and hung on the wall. Even if he knows that it is a dead end, according to the definition of a terrorist, he should at least do something to die with you. But apart from the first floor, someone fired a few shots, and the rest seemed to have no horrific attempts.
How can such a method of death inspire jihad?

Third, the behavioral pattern of the SEALs is illogical. According to the explanation in the photo, because the United States cannot be 100% sure that Bin Laden is inside, and because it does not want to use the plan of blasting down the small building with too much visual impact, it is cautious and unassuming. If bin Laden is inside, kill him. If he is not inside, he can withdraw in a low-key manner.
However, after reappearing the entire documentary style of the action in the last 30 minutes of the film, we found that the action was neither cautious nor low-key. It's terrible to crash the helicopter and blow up the door again! This muddled sneak attack woke the whole village up from their beds and watched. If there was a tunnel under Bin Laden's house, they would have escaped early. The team members fired when they saw people (except children) after entering the small building, and there was no way to confirm whether it was bin Laden first.

Fortunately, it was finally discovered that the boss was indeed killed, not the masses. To be ruthless, in this miraculous victory, the military has nothing to celebrate, it is almost just a victory for the CIA intelligence, and good luck.

But is this really a victory? In order to get rid of bin Laden, the United States invested countless human and financial resources. The heroine spent a full 12 years. What did they win? After seeing this time the boss is not like the boss, the special forces are not like the actions of the special forces, I am especially suspicious.

It's not just that pulling the teacher and the SEALs in the final operation is unreasonably inferior. In the ten years of anti-terrorism, the behavioral and spiritual violence and abuse of the American intelligence elite, the mentality and psychological distortion, the whole process, the film is used The maximum degree of rationality that can be achieved is displayed, and people have their own thinking about the irrationality, which is awe-inspiring.

Finally, the commando went to the third floor and shouted Osama, Osama... in the dark. It was really creepy.
