Alleged Bin Laden shooter: I'm not trying to make this about me

O'Neill's new mission is to help fellow veterans transition to civilian life. He helped start a charity called Your Grateful Nation to do just that.

"A lot of people have told me it's more stressful thinking about getting out of the Navy than going back to combat, because at least in combat they know exactly what to expect," O'Neill said.

O'Neill hopes his new-found notoriety will provide a platform for him to better serve and help fellow vets. Already they've been able to give money to a fellow former SEAL.

have high administrative operating fees, usually paid to the founders. A small fraction finally trickles down. We seen this before with Hannity's charity and countless others. The 911 charites of which there were hundreds never really produced much to those they allegedly were uspposed to benefit.

I just don't believe this guy. I'll bet his team members would like to get him alone. He should be afraid, very afraid.
