The chief of U.S. special forces has re-examined the claims of Matt Bissonnette, who wrote 'No Easy Day' and recounts a different version of events of the death of Osama bin Laden Admiral William McRaven took the personal step of contacting members of the Navy SEAL Team Six that stormed the Abbottabad, Pakistan compound of bin Laden, to rebut claims made by Bissonnette that contradicted the official account of the May 2011 raid.

After interviewing Bissonnette's former Navy SEAL colleagues the admiral concluded that the author of 'No Easy Day' was incorrect in his account of bin Laden's death

It has been reported that those former colleagues are furious with Bissonnette and have cast him out of their tightly knit circle
Despite the fact that @placeholder was unarmed, the SEALS had come under heavy fire as they made their way through the house to reach him and bin Laden showed no signs of surrendering.
