Reply to comment by bigjohnny440 in TIL That Matt Bissonnette, the former DEVGRU operator who, under the pseudonym Mark Owen, wrote the first book about the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden was forced to turn over the almost $7 million he made from the book because he failed to get the book approved before it was published. by GentPc

I just finished a book about Team Six and one of the things that came out was that Bissonnette and Robert O'Neil were competing to see who would fire the kill shot on OBL. Neither operator did (an unnamed shooter nicknamed 'Red' did). And the other Admirals and Generals waited until after they retired before writing their books. Bissonnette was still active duty when he wrote his.
