I have no idea if or how many on this message board saw the gripping reportage by Politico of the oral accounts of the principals engaged in the Bin Laden hunt and killing.
I just read it tonight.
It is a long investment in time and attention.
In my opinion, it was worth it. I'm glad I saw it and decided to open it.

It is an engaging....but long......account.
10yrs later it still makes us Americans proud.
(when I return from the farm tomorrow the bride and me will scroll up Zero Dark Thirty on some service and watch it again.)
I know well, this is a l-o-n-g read. Still, I would recommend just opening it up and reading a handful of the accounts. Maybe it'll pique your interest and you'll go for the deep dive.
Here it is (it's free):
