None of this makes it quite clear, but it appears that Zinke was retired from being a member of SEAL Team 6 long before the Bin Laden operation. Frankly, hes just another delusional teabully Does anyone know WHY he is a Former Seal? He got bounced from the unit for failing to maintain his qualification ratings. His former Commander called him lazy, and unmotivated, and according to his records, he was never once on an actual combat mission. Ryan Zinke (born November 1, 1961) is a former Republican member of the Montana Senate since 2009. He was elected to Senate District 2, representing Whitefish, Montana, in 2009 and 2011. Zinke served as a U.S. Navy SEAL from 1985 to 2008, retiring with the rank of Commander. During his career as a SEAL, he served as a member of the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU). He was the running mate of Montana gubernatorial candidate Neil Livingstone in 2012. Livingstone finished fifth in the Republican primary with 8.8% of the vote. In July 2012, Zinke created a super PAC to oppose president Obamas reelection. Zinke stated that the PAC would be a conduit to channel Special Forces frustration with the president, as Special Forces operators are limited in terms of their ability to criticize their civilian commanders. *****Osama bin Laden, the founder and head of the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, shortly after 1:00 am May 1 by Navy SEALs of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) i.e.; SEAL Team Six. The operation, code-named Operation Neptune Spear, was carried out in a Central Intelligence Agency-led operation. In addition to DEVGRU, participating units included the U.S. Army Special Operations Commands 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) and CIA operatives. ***** Other than once serving on Seal Team 6, he had nothing to do with capturing Osama ben Ladin.
