If it weren't for a certain holy man stepping away from the game this morning, Esquire's amazing profile of a man codenamed "The Shooter" would dominate the news cycle like it should. Writer Phil Bronstein spent a ton of time with the man who actually shot Osama bin Laden—drinking scotch with the former Navy Seal, having him over to his house for days—and through their conversations, he discovered that the Shooter is totally adrift after killing the world's most evil man. He receives no pension, he and his family do not have health insurance, and he says that he's forced to live "like a Mafia snitch," constantly worried about being found-out, or a retaliatory terrorist attack on his family. And, unlike Mark Bissonnette, the Seal Team 6 member who received an ample forward for writing "No Easy Day," the Shooter is in dire financial straits.
