A former Navy Seal, Larry Yatch, is offering people a chance to participate in a reenactment of the Seal raid that killed Osama bin Laden in a Pakistani compound last year for just 325 dollars in Minnesota.
Over the past four months, 137 people have signed up to
hold paintball guns and pretend to be highly trained Navy SEALs sneaking into a compound in Pakistan to kill a bearded man in a white robe, the New York Daily News reports.
According to the report, Yatch told people that the game is not just for entertainment, but also taught them self-defense.
"It's the people that maybe might be a little intimidated around a gun or don't necessarily feel comfortable having to fight with someone, those are the people who we can make the biggest difference in their lives," the report quoted Yatch, as saying.
According to the report, the fake Al Qaeda compound is set up in the basement of the Sealed Mindset studio, which also takes self-defense classes and firearms training.
In each imaginary raid, Yatch greets his SEALs with startling news: "We're going to be flying from our base in Afghanistan ... Obviously, this is a complete black op, or clandestine operation".
There are fake briefings and plenty of instructions given to participants as they prepare to hunt for the Al Qaeda leader, the report added.
"If he presents a lethal threat, take him out," Yatch instructed, adding: "I don't want to have to write a letter to any of your parents, OK?"
