I wanted to add these links here to celebrate a man who truly is larger than life. I have unfortunately not had the chance to meet him myself, but from everything I’ve been able to read and hear from friends, it feels like I still only know a small part of what this man accomplished. While he now waits for his time on this temporal earth to come to an end please find a few links below that include stories about the man, interviews with him recently, a book he wrote, and a book by Annie Jacobson called “Surprise, Kill, Vanish,” in which he plays an outsize role. Please feel free to add your own links/stories in the comment section.

Damn! Thats a Baaaaad ass Man.
Merca’s Grim Reaper.

like him.
RIP Sir. Well Earned.
Waugh had Bin Laden in his crosshairs in a certain African country. He spent many days and night on the top floor of nearby shitty building overlooking OBL’s guarded compound.
DC Swamp would NOT give the go. That was looooong before commercial aircraft became missiles. You know the rest.
Read his book. One outstanding SF American.
Read Annie’s book last year. Knew a few stories about Billie before; but daaaayyyuumm that dude was a stud. America is losing a hero. I hope he goes easy.
