Ex-Navy SEAL Famous for Claiming He Killed bin Laden Envies Taliban ' - Says He Wants To Do Same

Ex-Navy SEAL Famous for Claiming He Killed bin Laden Envies Taliban ‘(Taking) Back Their Country’ — Says He Wants To Do Same Here

Robert O’Neill, the former Navy SEAL famous for claiming to have killed Osama bin Laden, is calling for a Taliban-like coup in the United States. O’Neill, seemingly envious of the Taliban’s ability to takeover Afganistan, took to Twitter to claim that he knows “a few dudes who would do the same with me right now.”

“Did you see how the Taliban rolled through the streets and took back their county?” he wrote in the Thursday tweet. “I know a few dudes who would do the same with me right now.” O’Neill, a former member of the SEAL Team Six, is implying that the Taliban deserves praise for taking control of Afghanistan after U.S.-led forces removed them from power in 2001.

The veteran made headlines last year after he was banned from Delta for posting a photo of himself going maskless on a flight with the caption “I’m not a pussy.”

For rational people, the constant spin/ response/ comment needs be, "Republicans, conservatives admire terrorists".

people who deliberately spread covid, or take actions that could reasonably be expected to lead them to catch and spread covid, are biological terrorists.

Books written about the killing of bin Laden say the unnamed 'point man' (first man in) killed bin Laden and this guy (Robert O'Neill) was not the 'point man'.

Robert O'Neill claims the Navy SEAL 'point man' chosen to lead the team inside was a terrible shot, and it was he who saved the raid by killing bin Laden.

You would never say what you just did while you were in uniform, because you lack the guts to do so. I hope you are recalled to duty and court martialed for this, you fucking seditionist shitstain.

He's not a pussy; he's an asshole. Taint much distance between them, and I doubt a he-man like him would know the difference.
