Osama is dead, Navy SEALs get hammered...

"A bunch of Navy SEALs based in San Diego celebrated their faces off last night ... toasting the UNBELIEVABLE raid carried out by their fellow SEAL brothers by reveling at a S.D. bar ... a bar which happens to be owned by a retired SEAL.

TMZ spoke with American bad ass Greg McPartlin -- owner of McP's pub -- who told us when the news broke, SEALs from the nearby Naval Base Coronado quickly packed the house ... many carrying American flags.

We're told the soldiers went through 8 kegs, 15 cases of beer and TONS of cocktails in just four hours ... while leading the bar in several "USA!" chants.

McPartlin tells us, "It's great -- Osama was expecting his 72 virgins, instead he got 24 Virginians!" (The Navy SEAL team that executed the mission is based in Virginia.)

FYI -- the Naval Base Coronado is the home of the USS Carl Vinson ... the ship from which Osama's body was dumped into the North Arabian Sea.

A media relations spokeswoman at the base tells TMZ there are currently no celebrations taking place at N.B.C., in part because, "Our boys had a lot of fun over at the Irish pub last night!""  -TMZ.com

Not only are SEALs good at killing people, but apparently they are good at killin' kegs, cases, and any other form of alcohol they can get their hands on. I wonder how many of them there actually was that killed the 8 kegs 15 cases and TONS of cocktails? It had to have been a ton. However, let's be honest pretty much any Navy SEAL is 10 time more badass than anyone who is not a SEAL. So it was probably like one SEAL per keg limit and if they finished in an hour they got a case of beer and then anyone who was late to the party had to drink sissy cocktails. Anyway, I hope they enjoyed the celebration. Like I constantly say...beer is made to be shared, celebrated, and most importantly drank with friends.

In closing...America!
