Cool. Now, all we have to do is let the Taliban, Al Queda, etc., know that Disney bankrolled the entire operation to kill Osama Bin Laden, just so they can make a movie out of it. They hate capitalism... I wonder how they're going to feel about a company capitalizing on the death of their leader?

Wow, think about it... short a couple thousand shares of Disney stock, then start spreading rumors on facebook about how capitalizing on the death of Bin Laden makes the Disney resort parks a much more likely target for terrorists as an act of revenge against capitalism. Profit.

So, I should expect a new laser-shooting ride when I go to Disneyland/DisneyWorld next summer?

And they'll retcon it so that the seals are the ones who killed Bambi's dad, who was actually a terrorist and responsible for starting the forest fire.

If we're lucky, there will be a secret operation to assassinate the CxOs and Board of Directors at Disney.

If I know disney , and I do having been on the payroll once in the past, they are thinking along the lines of animated movie and toys to go with it. There was a script floating around a few years ago about some seals, the animals not men, that were being trained by the Navy to assist the Navy Seals and the script was done from the animals perspective with a large helping of the normal assorted cartoon characters tossed in to help the story along. The script was actually pretty good so maybe someone at Disney decided to jump on the publicity and go ahead with it.


There was no killing of any kind in the script and no mention of terrorism. It was mainly about the training process and how one seal managed to overcome its fear and complete the program saving some of the other seals in the process.

this sounds like bullshit.

but are people really expecting members of the team to write books or try to get movies made? I know everyone's all about the money, but talk about painting a giant target on the backs of themselves, their family, and everyone they know.

This randomly popped up on my recommended items Link

"While neither of the authors were on Team Six at the time of the OBL takedown, the book does give an excellent account of SEAL training and is one of the few books that actually talks about SEAL Team Six, which is an elite team inside the already incredibly elite world of the Navy SEALs. "

Clearly, you are unfamiliar with modern marketing. Seal Team 6: Bin Laden's Revenge, Seal Team 6: Delta Force, Seal Team 6: Call of Duty, Seal Team 6: Reach, and so on. I smell a new FPS franchise already.

Rainbow Seal Team 6?

It sounds like exploiting the seals and violence to make a buck.

But companies have been sending soldiers to kill and be killed for them to make a few more bucks for a century now, so this pales in comparison.

As the then highest decorated marine in history said long ago:

War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.

I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.

I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.

It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.

I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.

I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

that looks like a really fascinating read :thumbsup:

still, though, I think there's a difference in scope in terms worrying about revenge from assassinating a Somali warlord versus the leader of one of the most prolific international terrorist organizations.

if it were me, I'd worry about some disgruntled kid with an anti-American chip on his shoulder shooting my daughter in the face in a parking lot on an idle Thursday, but that could also be why I'd never have the balls to be a SEAL

That's pretty profound....

WTF fuck disney.

hope the military challenges them on this. they shouldn't be able to trade mark that.

Best thing to do is not give a shit, which the military probably won't. I don't think anyone will see a bunch of SEALS being synonymous with any Disney movie. Though I can totally see Disney actually making a movie about what went down in Pakistan. It would be the "inspirational hit movie of the year" like they try to do, every year

"Chesty" Puller? I've read part of a biography on him. Looks like I need to finish it.

Probably Lewis "Chesty" Puller. He's the most decorated US Marine, and served many years in Central America.

Apparently the author is Smedley Butler, who was the most decorated at the time of his death. And he delivered the speech in question in 1933. BTW, both of these names are ridiculous.

Semper Fi!!

General Smedley D. Butler...

By the end of his career he had received 16 medals, five of which were for heroism. He is one of 19 people to twice receive the Medal of Honor, one of three to be awarded both the Marine Corps Brevet Medal and the Medal of Honor, and the only person to be awarded the Brevet Medal and two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions.
