Robert O’Neill, the former United States Navy SEAL who shot and killed Osama Bin Laden.

Here is a copy of an article about his home being broke into.

Robert O’Neill, the former United States Navy SEAL who shot and killed Osama Bin Laden, had his home mistakenly invaded by members of a street gang this morning shortly after 1AM. O’Neill was uninjured, the five intruders all suffered injuries and remain hospitalized, but are expected to make a full recovery. Their names were not released in anticipation of the oncoming media storm.

Butte Police Commissioner Bartholomew S. Harrington told members of the Associated Press in a brief press conference that the five men, part of a local street gang connected with the infamous Crips, were seeking to collect on a drug debt and invaded the wrong house, with the intended target just so happening to be the next door neighbor of O’Neill’s.

“Mr. O’Neill had just turned in for the night, but was awoken by a loud crash when his backdoor was abruptly kicked in. As the five thugs ran aimlessly through the home, Mr. O’Neill used silent hand-to-hand combat tactics to individually disarm them of their weapons. Once Mr. O’Neill had taken down the five men and secured his home, he brewed a pot of coffee and called the police station. Those boys sure did find the wrong house!” commissioner Harrington said as he chuckled.

O’Neill had little to say on the matter when Butte Daily Times journalist Kevin Williamson interviewed the celebrated war hero.

“It was nothing really. Those kids didn’t have their mission planned out properly and hit the wrong target. I hated to break their wrists and dislocate each of their knees like I did, but it was necessary in order to immobilize the invasion. I hope they get the money that is owed to them once they get out of jail and decide to live better lives. My main concern is getting my back door fixed. Those boys really did a number on the door jamb,” O’Neill stated.

The neighbor who was the intended target seems to have abandoned home and has not been found by police. According to the men in custody, the debt was over a $50 bag of marijuana.

SFC Mark Merino, Brother you always do good quality post that I enjoy my first choice of ALL TIME: Douglas MacArthur (26 January 1880 – 5 April 1964) was an American five-star general and Field Marshal of the Philippine Army. He was Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s and played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II. He received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Philippines Campaign, which made him and his father Arthur MacArthur, Jr., the first father and son to be awarded the medal. He was one of only five men ever to rise to the rank of General of the Army in the U.S. Army, and the only man ever to become a field marshal in the Philippine Army.

SFC Sammy Davis (not the singer) DUTY...HONOR...COUNTRY: These words were spoken by General Douglas MacArthur so long ago. I took them to heart and have tried to live my life by that code. Though I have been called a hero for the action I took in combat in Vietnam, I know through my own experiences that a man who is willing to die for his country is dedicated, and a man who endeavors to live for his country is committed. I truly pray that those who hear me speak, as I do at various functions around the country, will leave remembering just that. If you are willing to LIVE for your country...and to make that kind of commitment...you are the heroes that will help America fulfill its promise.

A lifelong devotion to DUTY...HONOR...COUNTRY by men and women throughout our history has nourished the cause of freedom. As we pass the torch from generation to generation, it is imperative that we pass on the understanding of the work it takes to perpetuate the promise. Liberty offers us boundless opportunity. Those opportunities will cease to exist if we forget to continue as vanguards of our freedom. As difficult as the task maybe, if we face each new day with a resolve to live for our country, and follow the dictum of DUTY...HONOR...COUNTRY, America will grow greater and stronger and more bountiful with the passing of each day. I believe we can achieve everything of real importance through these three words.
