Nicholas Mason’s Reviews > The Operator: Firing the Shots that Killed Osama bin Laden and My Years as a SEAL Team Warrior > Status Update

I am so happy I finished this book. I loved this book all the way through, cover-to-cover. If you like learning about 9/11, the hunt for bin Laden, and what it is like to be a Navy SEAL, this book is for you.

Only 8 pages left and Osama Bin Laden is dead, I am so happy. This book has been long and the very end is where the big mission aka "Operation Neptune's Spear" takes place.

I am very excited that my book is approaching the raid on a compound in Abbottabad Pakistan, that killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011.

I find it very sad that these combat dogs can't get bulletproof gear like our soldiers can. We have lost too many service dogs in our country's years.

I think that if I was the author I would be scared because the author was in a firefight and he couldn't move from his cover as he was getting fired upon by the Taliban.

I wonder what was going through the author's mind when he was clearing a building and the next day, a newspaper article said that the US Military are ninjas and come in with lions(dogs) in Afghanistan in 2007.

I am glad we had these fantastic SEAL Team operators during the early 2000s fighting in the war that was started because of 9/11.

I think that it was amazing how the US military had adapted to how al-Queda had fought and reacted to the SEALs' fighting.

I think that it was amazing how the US Armed Forces in the middle east in 2007, had adapted to the way al-Queda fought and reacted to their fighting.

I think it would be traumatizing to walk into a room that was fired into by the US Army Rangers with a Carl Gustav(a Swedish-made shoulder-fired rocket launcher) 5 times, just to see bodies flown around the room and hear blood rush from a severed arm.
