So today as I researched more, I found this piece of effluvient:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/cironline.org\/reports\/vas-disability-backlog-hurts-navy-seal-who-killed-bin-laden-4196\">VA&#8217;s disability backlog hurts Navy SEAL who killed bin Laden<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Navy SEAL who says he killed Osama bin Laden is unemployed and waiting for disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive story for Esquire by Phil Bronstein of the Center for Investigative Reporting, the Shooter adds many details to what already is known about the death of the al-Qaida leader. His name is withheld to protect his identity.<\/p>\n<p>The Shooter told Bronstein, CIR\u2019s executive chairman, that he alone killed the terrorist leader, recounting minute details of those brief seconds. As the second Navy SEAL up a staircase, he saw bin Laden inside a room.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The author of this piece, on CIR&#8217;s website? Aaron Glantz. That name rung a bell, so I went to my book shelf at work, and sure enough, he&#8217;s the editor of this piece of shit:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Wintersoldier.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Wintersoldier.jpg\" alt=\"Wintersoldier\" width=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Wintersoldier.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Wintersoldier-239x300.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Really?  The &#8220;Center for Investigative Reporting&#8221; has a guy defending them that couldn&#8217;t even see through the bullshit lies of IVAW?<\/p>\n<p>Layers and layers of fact checkers.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: The Esquire author actually praises Aaron Glantz on the show with the unsufferable balding dude:<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:center'>\n<script type='text\/javascript' src='http:\/\/pshared.5min.com\/Scripts\/PlayerSeed.js?sid=281&#038;width=560&#038;height=345&#038;playList=517669204'><\/script><br \/>\n\n<\/div>\n<p>Seriously.  Are you kidding me?  If Glantz told me bullets could hurt people, I would have to have 5 people corroborate it and I would still assume it was a hoax.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, so the guy who wrote the Esquire article is from the &#8220;Center for Investigative Reporting&#8221; &hellip; <a title=\"Esquire picture becoming clearer&#8230;&#8230;IVAW tie in&#8230;..\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34124\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Esquire picture becoming clearer&#8230;&#8230;IVAW tie in&#8230;..<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34124\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
