“I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll probably say it a
million more — I didn’t write No Easy Day to portray myself as some sort of
badass operator or to etch my name in the history books. My sole purpose was to
give credit to the SEAL team operators and army airmen who carried out the
mission that night in Abbottabad.”
— Matt Bissonnette
