Bin Laden killer wites self help book
Admiral Mc Raven's claim to fame is that he lead and executed Operation Neptune Spear that lead to the death of Osama Bin Laden. He is now retired from the military and has decided to write a self help book and this short interview is a puff to promote it. At first I thought that this might be a Steve Coogan / Sasha Baron Cohen type spoof as the whole concept sounded too far fetched to be taken seriously. The Admiral's delivery reminded me of the "Hi I'm Ed Winchester" character from the Fast Show but, having looked him up, apparently this is genuine. The Admiral gives confident and precise answers to the scripted questions until the end when he is asked why he read the book himself rather than getting a professional voice actor and he ums and erms an answer that is not too convincing and seems to have taken him by surprise. Perhaps more military planning was needed.
