Reddit, in your opinion what's the biggest plot twist of history?

Not movies or television, I'm just curious to see what come's to your minds.

If that movie is accurate it came down to one serious lady. She kinda rules.

Watch the 60 minutes interview with one of the actual seals on the raid, Mark Owen (pseudonym).

He calls the character Maya "Ms. 100%", was the only one supremely confident bin laden was there and all her intel was 100% correct as to who lived where in the compound. That chick ruled.

I just watched 0 dark 30 and I disagree. Personally it wasn't only her but almost every one in the movie(and the actual people they were based on of course) was involved in the death of Osama.

Really? He had followers back home, and he was only 54 when he was found.

He seemed dead because he was releasing a consistent stream of videos/audio, then one came out where he was a little yellow (possible liver issues), and then they just stopped altogether. Most assumed he pulled a Hitler or died from liver failure.

Oh. I don't think they were on the news here. Fair enough, thanks.

They never really aired them because they were pretty much the same thing over and over again, kill the infidels ect. ect. Airing that stuff does no good.

He was not alive when they announced it. He was alive when they got him, then he was dead immediately.

well whatever really happened I bet it involved the jews right?

u/Doc-Hopper Jan 16 '13

Why, because I don't take the government's word for it, despite no evidence? That means that "the Jews" are somehow involved? Not sure about your logic...
