In my opinion, the most significant event to occur in the past few years was the death of Osama Bin Laden. Almost exactly a year ago, President Obama ordered a strike force of 20 odd Navy Seals, transported in two Black Hawk helicopters and two Chinook helicopters,to attack a compound just over the Pakistan/Afghan border on the Pakistan side. For 8 months, the compound had been under surveillance and it was discovered that Osama Bin Laden was living there. The Navy Seals took the compound by force quickly wounding two women and killing several men closely related to or employed by Bin Laden.
