What's next, are the "assaulters" themselves going to be lone wolves and take all the credit for their team accomplishments? Oh wait...

All the lives lost all the groundwork, all the relationship building and intelligence gathering and all the battles that he was was not a part of. The operation itself was but a fraction of all the work that went into setting the stage to allow UBL to be killed, the mission only happened because of the work that went into.

To me when I see a high profile mission succeed I think of the hard work, missions, battles, endless hours of training given, the endless hours of rapport building and all the ingredients to set the climate it took to get to that one mission. Can you imagine people building a house from scratch and then after all the work and headaches one guy pounds the last nail into it and takes the credit.
