So I’m sure people are wondering about my thoughts on Gary Faulkner, going on a Rambo like mission to go hunt, Bin Laden.
More on it here:

So is he an American hero or just some crazy loon out for attention? I vote, he is a crazy loon. Why?
I know there’s going to be some point where normal Americans like him and there will be others that will try to hunt down Bin Laden themselves, but if these people think they can honestly do it, then yes, they are crazy.
First off, hunting down Bin Laden won’t be easy. It’s probably the most difficult thing to do. Hell, why do you think the U.S. Army haven’t even hunted him down yet? Because Bin Laden is hard to find. Bin Laden is in a good hiding spot. He’s in an area that only he knows that can’t be found by outsiders. If his area did get found, I’m sure it would be pretty difficult to get at him. I’m sure Bin Laden is protected by his terrorist buddies. Think how Bin Laden’s hideout would have a security system that would be hard to get through, plus with terrorists all over the place gaurding Bin Laden.
Secondly, if you’re going to hunt down Bin Laden on your own, don’t do it alone like this guy did. Something tells me that even if Gary Faulkner is back home, he’s definitely going to try again. I don’t see him giving this up. You need to know where he is and how to get into Bin Laden’s hideout. Plus, you need more armed weapons than just a sword. I think Gary Faulkner has been watching too many action films and he fantasized about wanting to make these action hero like dreams come true.
Anybody that goes out to hunt Bin Laden, an innocent human being like Gary, is crazy and insane. Let the U.S. Army do that job. The Army were successful of catching Saddam Hussein. Let them catch Bin Laden.

I am curious first as to what is your definition of “crazy” although in point I must say that it does seem a little odd that one may feel like they may do something alone that couldn’t get done by many. Ghandi, Desmond Tu Tu, and many others including Jesus did things that others and in fact most would consider “crazy”. Such a harsh word yet I do understand your point. Just so you can have some perspective from another side many assassinations throughout history were made by loners in places that were considered safe for the person assassinated. Paid assassinations just as this would be are common throughout and none of them done with an Army behind them. Crazy he may be that’s not for me to judge yet I am amazed many more haven’t tried.
Well some people think he might be a hero, but I don’t. Why do I think he’s crazy for doing this? Here is an idiot who possibly have no experience in the military. No experience in fighting. He probably doesn’t have any experience in using a gun right or doesn’t know how to fight with a sword. Why do you think the loon failed and was caught? He had no protection, no bullet proof vests or anything to protect himself with. Knowing that Pakistan is a very violent country and I don’t think Bin Laden is there anyways. Look at the reports, the guy’s unemployed. Do you think this guy is smart? HA! I think he’s another delusional whack job out to seek fame and he got it. In my opinion, the next time he tries it again, I’m sure he’ll wind up dead either by a car bomb explosion or a bunch of bullets to the head from a machine gun by one of Bin Laden’s terrorist pals.
