Military paper shoots down broke Navy SEAL's claims

February 13, 2013 13:44

The former Navy SEAL who said he shot down three bullets in the head of Osama bin Laden is in fact eligible for the same free health care extended to all vets, the military newspaper Stars and Stripes has said.

The newspaper's claim came after it took issue with a report that said that the shooter is 'screwed' as he returns to civilian life and was getting no heath care.

A lengthy profile of the SEAL, released by Esquire magazine, said that the respected vet has retired after 16 years of military service and got little support from the US government. According to the New York Daily News, the name of the piece is 'The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden... Is Screwed'.
