History
Admiral William H. McRaven once again joins David M. Rubenstein to discuss some of his most historic military missions as a member of the Navy SEALs and as commander of America’s Special Operations Forces. In this conversation, he outlines his involvement in one of the most famous military missions in recent memory: the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad. Starting with the discovery of a vital lead in 2010, Admiral McRaven details how he and countless other service men and women worked to reach bin Laden’s compound, and the raid that culminated in bin Laden’s death and burial at sea.
