52-year-old Gary Brooks Faulkner was detained after he was discovered hiding in the forest of the Chitral region of Pakistan. Faulkner, a resident of California was on his seventh visit to Pakistan, and his 3rd visit to the Chitral region. From here, he was planning on crossing the border into the eastern Afghan province of Nuristan. When found, Faulkner was carrying a handgun, a 40″ sword, and night vision equipment. When investigators asked what he was doing there, Faulkner informed officials that he was “on a solo mission to kill Osama Bin Laden.” Faiulkner was more than likely after the $25 million bounty on Bin Laden's head. I can only hope at his age that I too will have too many Budwesiers while watching a Chuck Norris movie marathon and make a bender-fueled decision to become a middle-aged bounty hunter / ninja assassin. Sounds like a much more exciting way to spend your retirement, as opposed to the alternate route; touring the country in a boring ass RV.
